I’ve had kind of a hard week. Just real life stuff kicking my butt. I don’t know if there will be Roman on Friday or not. We’ll give it another go today, but some weeks are great and some weeks are not, and this hasn’t been such a good week. I’d rather skip a week

Happy Book Birthday Clean Sweep Graphic Novel and Giveaway
I’m going for the longest blog title record today. It’s the release day for Clean Sweep graphic novel! I remember attending a video writing seminar with Ilona and Gordon years ago – before I got to know them or became Mod R (my final form) – and asking them if they had professional wishes which

A Book Affair
Happy Monday! Yesterday, my youngest daughter texted me about a book she was reading. Most writers are prolific readers, but when you are working on a novel of your own, reading becomes difficult. It’s hard to turn the inner editor off. She was so happy, because for the first time in a while she sank

Computer Oy and Other Stuff
Turn the sound up. It’s not the case fans. I have cleaned everything and tested them. It’s running hot, too, and I am doing zip right now, except accessing the internet. So. Distracting. Like nails on a chalkboard. I can hear it through headphones. It’s making it really hard to concentrate. Oy. In happier news,

The Mubble-Fubbles
Mod R is off today and this is a personal post. Whining. It’s whining. I need to vent my blah into the world, so if you are here for book updates, you might want to skip this one. Otherwise, come sit with me on the fussy bench. There is tea and cookies. My mubbles-fubbles are

Writer Hate and the Dreaded 30K Slump
I think this has been asked before but how do you make yourself continue writing something when you’ve started to hate it?
