Lately, I’ve been tired. The kind of tired that does not seem to abate with 10 hours of sleep (split of course, because that’s the only way I seem to be able to get it lately). The kind of tired that leaves me yawning and wanting…

The Default
Tonight I’m watching “The Station Manager” starring pre-GoT Peter Dinklage, Patricia Clarkson, and Bobby Canavale. It is (so far – not over yet) very good; compelling performances of interesting and, yes, quirky characters. I especially enjoy Peter Dinklage’s “Fin”. He shows so much depth – as you’d expect having…

TSFM: Progress Report
I am a slacker. I have been slacking. Yet – I have more progress to update. I’m nearly done with step three. Now, three out of ten does not seem like much, but I have to tell you – in composing the paragraphs…

Now that we’re back into the swing of things (sort of, I mean, I’ve got three months of Rhiallis posts already queued up for 2016 and there are a dozen more at least) I wanted to make a sticky post here to give a caveat (okay…several) about my blog. …
NaNo is Coming!
NaNo is coming. I think I wrote about it recently, but maybe not. I don’t know anymore. All these blog posts are mixed up in my head and I’m easily confused. But one way or another, as the Starks say so often (sort of), “NaNo is…
Hiatus
Well, there was a recent post here about the Future of the Blog. Specifically, what to do with all my Serpent Skull snippets, and the Rhiallis snippets. As expected, life intervened with a solution and Rhiallis is taking a holiday. For reasons I’ll discuss in another…
The Future of the Blog
I have lots of writing I could continue to publish here. As it stands, as I write this, there are already several Rhiallis stories in the queue for the rest of September. And I’ve got two more “chapters” ready to send to the gaming group (which means, ready to break up and…
