It’s decision time for me. Publisher Angry Robot has an open call for unrepresented novel manuscripts. I have a novel manuscript that I am converting to EPUB format. The question becomes, do I halt the work and submit to the Angry Robot call, or do I push ahead and electronically… Continue reading
As those of you who follow this blog know, back in November I tore down my largest tank and started from scratch.  Not long after, I posted this photo of the tank. Now, three months later, I wanted to let everyone see how the tank has progressed in terms of… Continue reading
I woke up to another cold day here at Entropy Central, lingering effects of a storm that blew through over the weekend. We don’t heat the house unless it becomes unbearably cold, and that isn’t often. On the writing front, I finished the edits for the collaboration story and sent… Continue reading
With me starting to spend more time behind the keyboard, I am making some changes to the home office. The computer desk takes up way too much space, mostly horizontal. A second computer desk in the family room is being used to store computers that don’t do anything. Part of… Continue reading

Foremost, I have discovered a word processing program for Windows that will export a document in ePub format. During… Continue reading
I snapped a bunch of photos this morning to accompany an article I plan to write for Livebearers, the bulletin of the American Livebearers Association. I thought I’d share a few. Female Endler’s Livebearer along with a juvenile female. A group of Endler’s Livebearers. The colorful male in front of… Continue reading
I just finished piecing together the premise for the first story in my National Geographic Closet Space Marathon (which I outlined here).
