Spent all morning getting stuff done today. Fixed my EZPass account information, which took a LONG time on the phone, but the person I finally reached was very nice. Got my Comcast stuff dealt with, too. Basically a lot of little things that all needed to be caught up. I left after lunch to get …
Not a lot to report today. It\’s my \”up at 6am, out till midnight\” work day. Which makes for a REALLY long day. Luckily, the place I work has really nice people in it, and I come home tired from these long shifts, but not burned out. I\’ve been in nursing jobs were it was …
Today was the final day of NaNoWriMo. I put in the requisite 2000 words (actually 2300) I still needed to make my goal for the month. I probably could have snuck in a but more, but I had a nice, relaxing day, with several chunks of writing time in, and plenty of time to do …

Today was a little hectic. Got some writing done in the morning. Then some needed housework. Then off to work early, because the facility is changing uniforms for nurses, and I needed to check in and get sized for things. Then a work shift, home, and bed.

If you haven\’t checked out www.deanwesleysmith.com, then you probably ought to, whether you\’re a reader, a writer, or both.
Edited form of Starship 5 is back off to the editor. So release will be very, very soon. The podcast I mentioned in the last blog post rocked, so if you\’re any kind of writer, check it out. Seriously worthwhile. Was looking at computer stuff today. OK, here\’s the scoop on my computer scenario. I have …
Little bit of a change of pace today. I went out early and got grocery shopping done. While I was shopping, I was listening to a podcast: the guys from the Self Publishing Podcast were interviewing Dean Wesley Smith and Kris Rusch. I\’m only about halfway through the \’cast, but it has been AWESOME so …
Trial By Fire Tessa glanced up at the tower as she entered the glade. The shadows seemed to cling about its spire, and the sun seemed to shine less brightly upon it. The old stone building radiated an aura of awe and foreboding. Were a less intrepid mind to combine this feeling with all …
This one\’s aimed at writers, but it\’ll also interest readers out there, since I\’m going to be posting some fiction here for folks to read. Yes, soon. Maybe tonight. Definitely by tomorrow. Writers, I\’m going to guess most of you are following Dean Wesley Smith\’s blog. If you\’re not, I can\’t recommend it strongly enough. …
In the wake of Barry Eisler and Joe Konrath\’s discussion of Eisler\’s move to self publishing (turning down a $500,000 contract in the process), Dean Wesley Smith has posted some thoughts that he disagreed with their views on how to get help in those bits of publishing a writer wasn\’t able to do, or didn\’t …
