Yes! At long last my first work is being officially published somewhere other than my own website!
And no, it’s not my book… That would be insane if that was being published all of a sudden. Are you insane? I might be. Continue reading “Friday Write-Day: I’m Being Published!”
A post about humor in writing and my insecurity in that arena.
Welcome, friends!
So I am writing a book. Of this, I am sure. As to whether I believe it to be any good or not is entirely less certain. I consider myself a loyal follower of Vonnegut’s Creative Writing 101 and thus seek to not waste my reader’s time. The question lies in my ability to be successful in this endeavor. And thus, a couple bits from my nearly finished novel:
I promise I did not forget about my Friday post. I did forget the image, but whatevs. You know what this is by now, right?
A friend spontaneously invited me to see Aesop Rock last night in Baltimore, so obviously I had to go. Continue reading “Friday Write-Day: Emotional Movement in Revising”
Last week I wrote my year-in-review for 2016’s blog stats. But I also wanted to see how the top posts month to month stacked up, and boy are the results different. Continue reading “Numberbrag: Favorite 2016 Posts by Month”
Manuscript: Beta has been difficult to deal with this week, in a sort of weird, roundabout, good way. I made my first major cuts from Manuscript: Alpha… Continue reading “Friday Write-Day: Trimming the Fat”
Well, it’s probably time I laid out our 2016 year-in-review post, because that’s the thing to do in January, and because I like numbers. So here we go! Continue reading “Numberbrag: 2016’s Big Three & Top 10”
Writing has gone considerably better this week. Even after altering and re-altering the background of one of my main characters and changing their scenes to fit those (re)-alterations, I managed to write 6,541 words this week for a total word count of 31,388.

Howdy all,
So I’ve always considered myself a ‘writer’ more than an artist, or a poet, or a novelist, or any other such distinction. Recently, that writing has taken the shape of a book type thing instead of a poem type thing. This is interesting to me. And also kind of soul consuming; I don’t seem capable of focusing on much else. Continue reading “Miracles: New Endeavors for the New Year”
I nearly forgot it was Friday. I suppose that’s what the holidays do to you.
Writing was slow once again, despite my time off from work earlier in the week — 3,600 for the week and 24,800 overall. But my weekly total is low mostly because I’ve been… distracted by other priorities the past two nights. Continue reading “Friday Write-Day: Busy with Business”
Writing this week has been terribly slow. Work has been a bit more stressful than usual, sapping my mental energy by the time I get home, not to mention the (inevitably) last-minute preparations I have had to make for the holiday this weekend.
