Back on October 11th, I blogged about a die-off that occurred in several of my tanks due to the addition of Top Fin heaters that appeared to have been contaminated with some sort of toxins. I did file a complaint with PetSmart, the vendor and owner of the captive brand… Continue reading
It seems every couple of years we have an event where somebody’s true colors emerge. Once again, we have a recurring theme of sexual harassment and to some extent even sexual assault. This time it happened at World Fantasy Convention this past weekend in San Diego. A summary of events… Continue reading
After finishing the second of two novels, I took it a bit slow this past week. I did start the editing process on the first novel, Turnabout, getting through nine chapters. I must kick it up a notch and get through as much of the novel as possible this week…. Continue reading

It was another productive week working on the first draft manuscript of Rigel Kentaurus. I managed 13,559 words this past week and hit my 1500-word quota every day this past week, extending my streak to 14 days.  I passed 2000 words three times and 3000 words once this past week. … Continue reading
Nancy Kress on Saturday posted on her blog about where writers write. As often happens, this got on my RADAR via Mary Robinette Kowal’s blog She posted a photo of an elegant desk that can be used for writing while sitting or standing. The desk has been in her family… Continue reading
