I’ve always been an enormous gamer, often to the detriment of things such as my grades in college, my health, relationships with loved ones, and progress in my writing endeavors. I’ve played mostly on PC, and so have run the gamut of RPGs, MMOs, FPSs, and everything in between. Listing…
7 CommentsThanks to my writing friend, Fran Wilde, I’ve been blog-tagged to talk about my current WIP (work-in-progress, if anyone isn’t familiar with the acronym). So, in an effort to infuse a bit of life into this flagging blog of mine, let’s dive in! Ten Interview Questions for The Next Big…
Comments closedBeen a bit, eh? While the blog may have remained a bit placid, I can assure you there’s been plenty of activity underlying the surface. What’s been happening, you wonder? Oh, this and that… (items listed here in no particular order) I’ve had a few guest blog posts on SFSignal…

5 CommentsSome exciting new developments have been going on behind the scenes here, recently–one of the reasons this blog has been dormant for a bit, alongside Write-Strong.com. For several years now, I’ve been slowly building up my freelance work in the hopes of eventually cutting loose from the day job and…
Comments closedAs you’ve likely noticed, this blog occasionally goes dormant for a week or two at a time. Fortunately, there’s good reason behind that, such as life suddenly deciding the hamster wheel isn’t spinning fast enough, or a boatload of freelance work topping the to-do lists. I remain generally active on…
