Time to Just Do It
We ran the Hot Chocolate 5K last Saturday with our best friends. Well, they ran it and we walked it. (Also, Enrique did the 15K. He’s incredible!) I love me a metal and I have to say those jackets we got with our entry were pretty darn nice. I will be wearing it in the…

Twitch meets Real Life
After one of my co-working streams on Twitch ended, I should have been searching through my follows to find another so I could get more work done. Instead, I was hungry. So I maybe, just for a bit, glanced at the Food and Drink category and found an incredible streamer who happens to be local…

Benny the Menace
We have a new family member, my sweet and energetic grand puppy Benny. Look at that face! His tale is one of destiny—at least that’s what I keep telling Kevin. You see, we went to Misfits a few weeks ago, when the weather was still manageable, to sit outside, enjoy the brews of the small…

Do the Hustle
Man, I’m tired. Is anyone else tired? It seems like I work harder and harder for less and less. I know I’m not the only one, but I’m not sure how wide spread this experience is. Mind you, I have chosen a more difficult path than some in the form of a creative career. The…

Powerful Moments in Fiction
I just finished chapter seven in the draft of book four in the Emergence series. Crafting The Specter (or The Spectre I haven’t decided yet) is such a different experience since it’s book four out of five. Threads are coming together. Some in the way I planned them and others are a surprise even for…

The Kind of Story I Want to Write
I just watched Love and Monsters on Netflix. If you haven’t seen it yet, I won’t spoil anything. Though I will say, “Slather that biscuit with honey and give me another!” That’s me trying not to swear. It’s not pathetic; it’s adorable. Anyway, as I was saying, I’m supposed to be heading to bed. It’s…

Authorpalooza 2023
It’s such a treat to finally attend writer events in person again. There were a handful last year, but this year it’s been packed with so many opportunities to go out and meet fellow word creatives and other professionals in the field. Last weekend, I attended the Houston Writers Guild Authorpalooza. It was small but…

Routine Blog 3: Final Results
For the last couple months, I’ve been working on my productivity–or lack there of. I learned a few new things about myself and reenforced some old ones. Things I’ve learned I put too many items on my list and I have such a horrible time weeding out the unimportant ones. This will not change. It’s…

Routine Blog 2: Testing Phase
I’ve spent the last couple weeks playing with my schedule to see what works and what doesn’t so I can establish what passes as a routine for me. If a nefarious individual or organization wanted to track my schedule in order to kidnap me or figure out a way to pass me a message clandestinely,…
