What Comes to Mind
Here I will post updates on my writing, some short ramblings about the hurdles and joys I encounter on my journey, and anything I find interesting that I want to share.
Mid-January Writing Update – On the Road to 50K
I documented last year my displeasure at the stance the folks at NaNoWriMo took on A.I. Their refusal to clearly and publicly speak out against the growing use of generative artificial intelligence in art of all forms caused me (ad many others) to cease supporting and...
December 2024 Writing Update – Putting a Bow on a Great Year
It is a couple of days after Christmas. There is still a thin fringe of snow on the ground, a rare occurrence for us at this time of year. The hectic, hurried season is behind me, the end of this year is waiting on the other side of this weekend. After the frenetic...
We Suck at Comics: Volume 2 Creator Profile
I cannot lie – I am very self-conscious writing this. But here it is anyway: The amazing and talented guys at Wayward Raven Media are publishing a series of “creator profiles” for the people involved in the upcoming anthology We Suck at Comics: Volume 2 –...

It is the end of October. The greens of summer have given way to the golds and reds of autumn, the acorns are piling up higher than the mound of Halloween candy my son came home with, and my least-favorite day of the year – the first Tuesday of November – is a short...
Book of Choices Combined Hardcover Edition Now Available
Just a short post to announce that the Book of Choices anthologies have been released as a combined hardcover edition. My story Repercussions appears in Volume 1, which is still available for purchase as well. If you did not buy volume 1 on its own, this is a great...
It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
No, it's not Christmas. It's not even wintertime. It is the time when thousands of proud nerds like me gather in a celebration of all the media we love, the memories and lessons, the fantastical and the wonderous, the characters we mourned and the characters we praise...
September 2024 Writing Update – My Plans are Changing Like the Seasons
I always think of September as a month of change. Everything looks and feels vastly different at the end of the month when you look back at the beginning. The temperature, the days, school buses crowding the streets, free time dwindling as work and activities start up...
