I resisted this self interested decision,
To sever long frayed family ties.
But continuous comments and curses
Caused this crucial division
‘Cause you crossed the line,
One thousand times too many. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #24 – One More Year”
Officially an Officiant: Thoughts Post Performing a Wedding
I’ve been pretty MIA for awhile now. Overburdened with promises I made without really considering how much they would personally tax me. One of those, really the one with the most to gain/lose, was my agreement to officiate a good friend’s wedding ceremony.
It transpired this past weekend. It went…. far better than I could have hoped, to be honest. My heavy reliance on my ‘inner wolf’, as I jokingly call my tenuous confidence, pulled me through a situation that terrified me.

Baltimore Comic-Con Reconaissance
I went to my first convention on Sunday! I knew that fellow author and blogger MLS Weech was going to be there, so I wanted to take the opportunity to stop by his table.
But I also wanted to start preparing for my next big move in book publishing: selling my book at conventions.

Friday Write-Day: Switching Gears
This week has not been as much of a sleep-deprived blur as last week. It’s still flown by surprisingly fast. My writing time was slim, but I managed to make some headway in a couple of other areas.

Once again, I have an idea for a periodic series that may never actually be a series. I’m just going to take quotes I find interesting, or inspiring, or infuriating and riff on them for a bit.
Let’s go!

Friday Write-Day: Sleep is for Sane People
I left work at 4:30 yesterday because I was just too tired to deal with anything. I almost couldn’t deal with the awful commute home, but I made it.
And I promptly took a two-hour nap. Dad Life is tiring.

Lady Luck, fickle and cruel, Who will sleep with any fool, But only for a short time. Choosing lovers with divine randomness, In her arms, there's bliss; Fortune given with every kiss, But not for long. 'Til the next is chosen, And you're dismissed. Lady Luck, you uncaring whore, Who will you next bless, With your attention and caress? How can I earn more? How can I earn less? I'm always waiting for, My turn to be selected, by fate. So Lady Luck, please. Leave me be. I'd rather court The hardworking sort. One to inspire and motivate, Not one to make me wait, and wait, For something that may never come.
