    Slowing Down

    Slowing Down

    Not the writing, that is continuing on as strong as ever. This blog however, needs to slow down a little. Not that it took much energy to write here every day, but I’m looking to focus my energies on the things that either make me feel good (the writing) or things that will help me […]

    Busy Days

    Busy Days

    I know I say this a fair amount, but things have been busy around here lately. Instead of streaming in the morning, when I like, I’ve had meetings to take those spots, which means I had to stream later. Yesterday, I had some driving to do and it took longer than expected, which means I […]

    Recording a Voice

    Recording a Voice

    I did not stream today. I had a number of little things to take care of today that required infrequent, but specific attention and as a result, my time to stream in the morning was used up. And then my noon time, and my afternoon, and now it is already evening. However, I would not […]

    Emotes and Community Challenge

    Emotes and Community Challenge

    Today was momentous for a few reasons. First off, I received my second emote from Beauation this morning and when I uploaded it, it went straight to approved. She also sent me an updated version of the first one, and when I put that one up it also was approved. So – we have emotes! […]

    Anybody out there?

    Anybody out there?

    During my short story submission research yesterday and the day before, I came across a market that is pretty new and looks like a well paying market. I remember from “back in the day” of two decades ago that some markets that were new got into a bad spot when they couldn’t pay their writers, […]

    Research and Submissions

    Research and Submissions

    Saturday, the long stream. That’s the story for the day. Aside from the fact that I planned to do five sprints in a row on submission research, I had the pleasure of Ianto_Ashur redeeming channel points to make it six sprints. Almost 3 full hours today, and I’m feeling good. I received three raids today […]

    Mistakes were made.

    Mistakes were made.

    My plan for today was to pull together what I needed to submit one or more of my short stories for magazines (or other publications). It was such a simple plan and I learned so much today about “Modern Manuscript” formatting, and the wonderful benefit of the Submission Grinder (thanks Angsthase for showing it to […]

    Querying, and Querying some more

    Querying, and Querying some more

    Today was a querying day. I decided to do some good searching, querying, tweaking of my queries, and then sending them off. This whole process has showed me that I feel underprepared for it, so it will take some getting used to. Aside from feeling like my story might start in the wrong place, needing […]

    May the 4th Be Raiding

    May the 4th Be Raiding

    May the 4th be with you. I found out that today is the day for raiding. This morning, I was in the middle of my third sprint and I got a huge raid from GMWorkshop – and so many follows and encouraging words. Seriously – that was awesome and I hope one day to repay […]

    New New Things

    New New Things

    Today was remarkable for a number of different reasons. First, I have my new setup put together for my computer. It took longer than I expected, which is not really a surprise, but I had most of everything working the way I wanted by the time I started to stream. New things for the stream […]
