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:
As long as the file …
I know, odd title. It really goes like this: As long as the file is open I'm going to continue fucking with it. And it's true. I will. If I shut it, I won't. 🙂 The [Echo Mike Papa] file feels like it has been open for months. I have shut it a few times … Continue reading As long as the file …
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.

(Bear with this is my 26th go-round with the oddness that happens once … Continue reading Writer Trench Coat Syndrome.
The End.
And just like that another Veronica Tracey Spy/PI book exists.
And now the end is near:

That's how it is some days.This weekend and today have been marvellous for writing. I got back on track on Saturday and charged ahead yesterday and today. From 70K on Saturday … Continue reading And now the end is near:
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.
There’s a tipping point:
I always know when a book tips over from “chaos gremlin” to “actual novel,” and yesterday [EMP] hit that point hard. One moment I was trudging through scenes like I’d lost the map; the next, everything snapped into alignment and the story took off like it had somewhere urgent to be.
Nothing stays the same forever.
This evening, I was sitting on the couch watching 'Taken' (the TV show not one of the movies) and it occurred to me that I was sitting on the couch watching a show and I wasn't stressed to buggery about birthdays and Christmas looming. I wasn't bothered at all.I remember a time (years of it, … Continue reading Nothing stays the same forever.
