Blank pages and the eloquence of wordlessness

Vikki at ‘The View Outside’ posted about writer’s block a week ago, and included a poem from Andy Szpuk about looking at the blank page. It was a really nice poem, and reading an eloquent and poetic word picture of the sensation of not having the right words reminded me of a favorite song, “Blank [.

It’s nearly 7 Friday evening, and I just wish I was home from work…

Feeling a little sorry for myself just at the moment. ;) At least it looks like I may not be stuck for much longer. Work wasn’t too bad today, was just kinduv watching the clock until a little after four thirty, a bunch of new little requests for one of our customer got sent out. [...]

Online Cabin Fumigation Evacuation

A lot of people who’ve already signed up for Camp Nanowrimo have been waiting as patiently as they could for their camp cabin assignments to show up on the website, and find out if they’ve been matched with the campers who they requested, or campers in their age range and genre, or if they were [...

Happy May two-four weekend!

It’s Victoria Day today, and the long weekend is informally known in parts of Ontario as ‘May two-four’, as the holiday falls on the Monday on or before May twenty-fourth. To me, the May long weekend has marked the start of summertime for a long while. This weekend, I’ve had a fairly quiet weekend,

Six Sentence Sunday – The Shuttle 3

First six. Second six. Dara is the pilot on a routine space shuttle trip, which has just become less than routine: Something must have leaked just enough heat into the fuel tank for one piece of Fracture to detonate early, and that set off a chain reaction. Dara sighed and started the emergency proc

If you don’t f*@% with the Culture, then what?

Well, it’s a weekend for finishing off books, apparently – I just listened to the last little bit of Surface Detail, a Culture Novel, and one that I first began reading via Audible.com nearly a year ago, in July 2011, shortly after getting back from the CSSF workshop and determined to familiarize my

When you play this game, you win or you die

So – after nearly two months of reading off and on, I finally reached the end of George R.R. Martin’s big fat fantasy novel, “Game of Thrones.” I enjoyed it, though it probably won’t make any best-books lists I may write, and I do plan to read on in the ‘Song of Ice and Fire’ [...]

I’m looking for a few good ninjas…

I went to a casual write-in at the home of a good friend last night, and for the fun of it I wore one of my favorite novelty T-shirts, the ‘Sneaky like ninja’ from Sick on Sin. Fantasy Writer Guy spotted the design as I came into the room, and we had an interchange that [...]
