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.

June 2024 Writing Update – A Cliffhanger to Start the Summer
Ah June. The last month of the school year. The meteorological start of summer. The start of the long, hot, humid days that call us to the beach, the swimming pool, the barbeques, and the air conditioning. For me, it’s also the chance to spend time outside, both with...
Holy Cow! I Added a New Page!
I did it! With a few video tutorials, a little trial and error, and some insight from my always-amazing wife, I designed a new page for my site and activated it without causing a black hole or activating the self-destruct. Honestly, I am shocked at how easy it was. I...
May 2024 Writing Update – A Hectic Yet Productive Month
Wow. Going into the merry month of May, I knew my schedule would be busy and my writing time a bit limited, but as the month raced by, I found myself scrounging for a few minutes here and scraps of time there, trying to fit in all the things I wanted to accomplish...

Welcome to this month’s update, albeit a tad late. March has been a busy thirty-one days, so let’s get right to it. First, I did something I have thought about for a while – I joined a writer’s group. I was fortunate that my local library was starting up a new...
February 2024 Writing Update (Better Late Than Never)
It’s been a slow month for me. I don’t know if it was the dreary weather, the short month, or just fatigue, but I had a difficult time getting into a good writing rhythm in February. I was able to do little fresh writing – though I was able to get a large chunk of a...
Short and Sweet, Since it is Valentine’s Day
There’s snow coming down as I type this, I have an extra day off from work, so it seemed like a nice day to keep this post brief. It’s been a week full of little things to work on, so here is sort of a mid-month writing update: I have a new town setting for the...
