Some days make you shake your head. Shit happens and stuff goes sideways and you don't really grasp how it could happen. Everyone has days like that, right? Well, folks, let me tell you a tale about Friday the 13th. I went off to work at 8:30 this morning (extra shift), knowing that my author … Continue reading I had questions …

New work is hard
Actually it's more, new characters are hard. It is a new work and all new characters and it isn't an easy thing to wrap my malfunctioning brain around. There is a huge temptation to grab a familiar face and drop them into the periphery just so I can get a better handle on what's happening. … Continue reading New work is hard
Night comes on …
It's been a week, a busy week! How is it only half way through? 🙂 So much to do and a lot of hurry up and wait. Leonard Cohen has featured prominently in my playlists this week ... as he does from time to time. Leonard Cohen songs even made it into the FBI-Byte Series … Continue reading Night comes on …
Add title …
You wouldn't think it was difficult to come up with a blog post title, would you? Well, let me tell ya - for me it's harder than naming a book. I see the 'add title' words sitting there and it annoys me. And some days I just don't have a title in me. Not a … Continue reading Add title …
Where to now?
This week feels a tad confused. My days are screwy. It'll even out. Meanwhile, I've had to move things around to make everything work. So everything is a day late! Anywho, that's not what this post is about. I have a question for Pages users. Have you tried 'Proofread'? If so, what did you think? … Continue reading Where to now?
You wouldn’t believe it …
Life has been crazy, you know that if you've been here longer than five minutes, with all the crazy I fudged an ISBN. I put it into D2D and it's already been used. It's mine so, I guess I put the wrong name next to it in the file! It's easy to do. I get … Continue reading You wouldn’t believe it …
It’s all coming together now:
The stress and craziness that's been my life from July 7th - is almost over. By the end of this month I will be able to relax and breathe. Superman would be able to as well, if he knew where he was and what had to happen to keep him safe. He doesn't. He never … Continue reading It’s all coming together now:
Some days a title is just too hard.
It's true. Not a book title, those I enjoy coming up with. I'm talking about a blog post title. Today it's just too much. Anywho, onward. Because I did a quick print format for [Echo Mike Papa] yesterday, I thought maybe someone would be interested in how I do that and what I've learned over … Continue reading Some days a title is just too hard.
NYE 2025
It's time for a recap of 2025. As much as I want to say the year was bullshit - it wasn't like that the whole year. There were wonderful parts of the year and some of the shit had wonderful aspects. It's easy for us to focus on the bad things, but we don't know … Continue reading NYE 2025
It’s that time of year again.
It's a busy time in our family, there are a lot of birthdays in December for us. And there is the birthday rule ... no decorations up until after my birthday. (We've broken it a few times but my oldest son keeps the tradition alive with his family.)My patience is at an all time low. … Continue reading It’s that time of year again.
