December 4, 2016 First Draft Contemplation and Commiseration The way I figure it, I’m three-quarters through the first draft of Boss. If I can press on at the current rate, I should finish around March. How do I feel about that? Glad to be on the downhill slope. I can’t actually see the finish line… Continue reading First Draft Contemplation and Commiseration. Resurrected Post.

The Thanksgiving Post, 2016 Edition. Resurrected Post.
November 27, 2016 The Thanksgiving Post, 2016 Edition The year has been eventful and engaging for me. Selling the condo and buying a new house proved a lengthy, multi-step process. (That isn’t a complaint. This isn’t a complaining web log post, it is a thankful one.) The result was worth the effort. The new house… Continue reading The Thanksgiving Post, 2016 Edition.

Orycon 2016. Resurrected Post
November 20, 2016 Orycon 2016 And that wraps up another Orycon. Technically, as I write these words, the con is still ongoing in the sleepy manner of a con winding down on a Sunday. But it is over for me. I finished my last panel and drove home to help host the joint birthday party… Continue reading Orycon 2016. Resurrected Post
The Great Garrett Reread Part VI
Cruel Zinc Melodies This is a good one. As with the best mystery plots, the seemingly simple grows increasingly complex. There is a lot going on. And Cook is planting more clues regarding the Tinnie Tate/Garrett relationship. I’d ignored those last time through Cruel Zinc Melodies. I wanted only to see the good side of… Continue reading The Great Garrett Reread Part VI
Dreams and the Perilous Realm. Resurrected Post.
November 13, 2016 Dreams and the Perilous Realm At what point during parenthood do you begin getting a full night’s sleep again. I’m nearly at the three-year mark and I’m still not there. I’m tired. I mention this because I was considering today’s post with my head on my wife’s shoulder. She asked if was… Continue reading Dreams and the Perilous Realm. Resurrected Post.
Library Progress Report. Resurrected Post.
November 6, 2016 Library Progress Report I have yet to decide what to call this room. Library? Den? Study? Office? What best suits it? I don’t know. At this point it remains a work in progress. Though I have made progress. Check it out. My wife and I refinished this desk. (She finds the process… Continue reading Library Progress Report. Resurrected Post.
Appendix N and the Witchy World of Andre Norton. Resurrected Post.
October 30, 2016 Appendix N and the Witchy World of Andre Norton Well, as a cover it certainly is a…cover. I come at last to Andre Norton, long a gap in my Appendix N reading. While she has always floated within my awareness as a reader, I remained unfamiliar with her works. I did pick… Continue reading Appendix N and the Witchy World of Andre Norton. Resurrected Post.
Seveneves. Resurrected Post.
October 23, 2016 Seveneves I finished Neal Stephenson’s latest, Seveneves, earlier this week during my commute. It certainly passed the time, immersing me in a world other than the traffic-filled one about me. Seveneves is lengthy. If you read Stephenson you know what your are in for: highly detailed descriptions of anything and everything.… Continue reading Seveneves. Resurrected Post.
The Black Dog’s Bite. Resurrected Post.
October 16, 2016 The Black Dog’s Bite Winston Churchill battled against attacks of the ‘black dog.’ To what extent this has been exaggerated by historians, biographers, and journalists is beyond the scope of my remarks here. The point is, despite bouts of depression, Mr. Churchill still produced an astonishing amount of written work. (Seriously, take… Continue reading The Black Dog’s Bite. Resurrected Post.
