When I write fiction – be it Reunion: A Story (AKA “the one that’s floating out there on Amazon and the online Barnes & Noble store”), “The New Story,” or the occasional screenplay – I tend to listen to music as I sit at my desk, regardless of whether I’m writing or gnashing my teeth…

I’ve been up since 7:30 AM, which – per my usual schedule – amounts to “sleeping in late.” Oddly, I don’t remember checking the time before I fell asleep trying to watch Star Trek;…

Well, folks, as you can see, I am posting this on the evening of Thursday, May 18, 2023, from my little corner of the Tampa Bay area. Usually, I post early in the day – between late morning and early afternoon when I’m not working on a project, or as early as possible in the…

Snowflakes and Secrets

Musings & Thoughts for Monday, May 15, 2023, or Weekend Update Wrap-Up…& a SITREP on ‘The New Story’

Well, folks, it’s afternoon here in my corner of Lithia, Florida, on Saturday, May 13, 2023. I’ve been awake since just a bit after six in the morning; I had hoped to sleep till, oh, maybe seven, but I think the days of waking up later than six are gone, at least for me. I’m…

On Writing and Storytelling: Today Was an OK Day to Write….
Well, Dear Reader, it’s almost 9 PM Eastern here in the Tampa Bay area. I am writing this blog post unusually late because even though I woke up early, I had a tough time getting started on today’s scene in Chapter Seven of The New Story. Today’s scene, in theory anyway, was easy; it’s a…

On Writing & Storytelling: Today Was a Good Day to Write!
I woke up early this morning – earlier, honestly, than I’d have liked, circa 5:30 -not quite tired, but not quite pumped with adrenaline and full of ideas for today’s writing workday. It was still dark when I got out of bed, and, not wanting to wake anyone up with noises from the kitchen as…
