I don’t know how to ask
For the help I desperately
need
To help me move past
the past me. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #26 – Now.”
Welles and the “Silky” Sounds of Early 90s Grunge
You may remember me writing a few weeks ago about Dead Sara’s new EP, Temporary Things Taking Up Space, and about how Jessie and I went to see them in DC last month.
Well, we also saw another band that night, upon whom I am very happy I stumbled.

15 on the 15th – In my Tennessee mountain home, crickets sing in the fields near by
So I’m trying a different style for this Tennessee playlist. Consider The Civil Wars as a trailer for the rest of the CD, where all the other songs play out the story from song 2 to 14. Notes written below each video are just for amusement.
The Civil Wars
Quick Notes: Originated in Nashville, tragically disbanded in 2014. TRAGICALLY. Hopefully one day they’ll get back together and go for that fifth Grammy… Continue reading “15 on the 15th – In my Tennessee mountain home, crickets sing in the fields near by”

Friday Write-Day: Moral Victories?
Sometimes, the tangible goals don’t matter as much as the intangible. For instance, Nugget can lift his head up and hold it steady for a few seconds without teetering over like a top-heavy paper weight. That seems like a big accomplishment for a five-week-old!
As you might have guessed, I couldn’t write that much this week, but I did manage to make some moves in cool/interesting directions.

Goals are funny. Sometimes, when they’re outside of your direct control, it’s better not to pay too close attention to them.
I lost sight of any specific marketing or statistical goals for this website for this year, since most of my efforts focused on publishing and promoting The Warden of Everfeld: Memento. So without particularly trying, we’ve hit a lot of goals… from 2017.

I want you to know
I never gave you my heart.
It chose a path I can’t follow
The idea too hard to swallow.
And it’s not something I wanted
To have you hate me if I’m honest.
So now I suffer in the silence of lies by omission
Forsaken to friendship and avoidance
Of a simple sort of truth. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #25 – Mind/Heart, Brain/Feet, Accept/Defeat”
Haiku Sunday – Party
“Party”
All dressed up in clothes
adorable. We hope you
don’t spit up on them.

Saturday of Book Quoting – Lewis Black’s Me Of Little Faith
“And just what is a laugh? While it is as mysterious as music, I see laughter as a cosmic hiccup that allows us to stare into the abyss while we straddle the grave.”
Mauldin, yet uplifting? Maybe. Continue reading “Saturday of Book Quoting – Lewis Black’s Me Of Little Faith”
Friday Write-Day: The Week of No Writing
Yep, I don’t think I wrote much more than 150 words this week.
I’ve been doing a lot of pondering, and also getting my revised KDP manuscript for WoEM in order, so that’s kept me pre-occupied. But, I still feel like some cool things are coming.
