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.
May 2025 Writing Update – An Abundance of Progress
It has been a busy month for me, professionally and personally, so I apologize for being a day late with this update. In fact, I did not even proofread this post, so if there are mistakes I will catch them eventually. I know what you’re thinking. Why didn’t I write it...
I’ve Just Taken My First Step into a Larger World
I did it. I was planning on waiting until next week. But after I had everything all set to go, I figured why not? So I did it. I pressed the button. I actually submitted my query to 5 literary agents. It was exhilarating and terrifying, a tremendous relief and the...
April 2025 Writing Update – Seeking Professional Help
Wel all need a little help sometimes; maybe with something trivial, maybe with something life-altering, maybe something in between, but there comes a point in everyone’s life when they need to seek out advice from someone with more knowledge or experience. It is said...
March 2025 Writing Update – Lions and Lambs and Queries. Oh My!
I went into this month without much of a plan. That’s unusual for me. I like to set goals month by month that reflect my goals for the year. But as March began, I could not decide which projects I wanted to pick up. I decided to let my moods and thoughts carry the...

The shortest month of the year. Only an even four weeks long. And yet, an eventful month that took me for a wild, emotional, and unexpected ride. The month began with me putting aside book 2 of my YA series – after a tremendous amount of drafting in January – to...

At long last, the Kickstarter for "We Suck at Comics Volume 2: Coloring Outside the Lines" is live! The preview looks great, the cover is amazing & I know all the guys @waywardravenmedia have knocked it out of the park! I cannot wait to see the finished version....
Mid-January Writing Update 2025 – 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 (and many others) to cease supporting...
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...
