After several years of not having a decent digital camera after somebody dropped my last one on the lens while it was extended, I finally bought a new one today during my trip to Costco. I bought the Canon PowerShot ELPH 100HS to let me limp along until I can… Continue reading
This week, I made good progress through friday, but the weekend was a huge distraction for me. SAKE (Southwest Area Killifish Event) consumed my entire Saturday, and Sunday was filled with getting things done around the house. I ended the week with 8140 words, which is just over 1100 words… Continue reading
My son and I attended the Southwest Area Killifish Event yesterday. It’s an annual fish convention in Phoenix that has been held for fifteen years. Generally, the lineup features three guest speakers, a raffle, a silent auction, a live auction, and just all-around meeting new and re-meeting old fish friends…. Continue reading

I had a 3000+ word writing day for the first time in a long time. No other real commitments today other than grading a handful of math papers and a quick run to Costco. It feels good to be that productive on the novel, which passed the 20K word mark… Continue reading

Let me point out that people who learned to type on a typewriter and not… Continue reading
To continue a practice I started while I was working on Rigel Kentaurus, I’ll be posting a weekly progress report as I write Fishpunk. Novel-length projects often start sluggish for me, and this one is no exception. It took a good 4 days before I really hit my stride. I’ve… Continue reading
I met Tobias Buckell through the Codex Writers Group a number of years ago. He is a full time writer and an e-book creator. His blog has thoughtful commentary on a variety of topics. This is the second time I have interviewed Tobias, the first being on my short-lived video… Continue reading
My experiment with KDP Select for my novel Rigel Kentaurus is nearly over. For two days, the free downloads racked up, and my ranking in Science Fiction/Adventure category has been as high as #7. I just couldn’t seem to get past big public domain names like H.G. Wells. Still, #7… Continue reading
Looks like I goofed setting up the free days for Rigel Kentaurus on Amazon. Instead of today and tomorrow, it will be tomorrow and Monday. Still a good deal, though. Can’t beat free!
