Looking into Celtic folklore for my new novel, and there is SO MUCH TO LEARN and it is EXCITING!

Prompt No. 43 - Bloginomicon The Clockify app tells me that it takes me about 45 minutes to write these posts. Have fun reading this one!

I am shocked -- shocked, I say! -- that "The Love Boat" did not make this list.

Prompt No. 36 - Bloginomicon Some thoughts on rejection and motivation, and this week's Story Engine prompt!

Thank you! It's been a challenge at times, but I'm actually having a lot of fun with it.

Prompt No. 35 - Bloginomicon Still processing WorldCon, but I've finished last week's story, and drawn this week's prompt!

That's the one! I use the main deck, as well as the Sci-Fi, Horror, and Fantasy expansions.

Prompt No. 34 - Bloginomicon Bur first, a wee con report.

All right, I've written thirty-three short stories so far this year, using prompts I've generated with the Story Engine deck.

Taking a break from a cryptically-announced social media break to share my new blog post:

My friend was right: I'll be rolling up Romance as a sub-genre until the Universe determines that I'm comfortable writing them.

Prompt No. 32 - Bloginomicon The 32nd prompt in my "2025 Commitment" project, shortened because of my migraine.

You're welcome!

YOU! You writers of vast historical fantasies, epic in scope, numerous in words and pages, and so on... HOW DO YOU DO IT? I've a hankering to write an epic historical fantasy involving Caribbean pirates and pre-Revolutionary America but have no idea where I should start resarching. Thoughts?

This is a wonderful story, and everyone who believes they are and always will be able-bodied (spoiler: you won't be) should read this:

Prompt No. 31 - Bloginomicon But first, an announcement: I sold a story! It won’t appear until next year, so details are not quite yet forthcoming, but I’m mighty chuffed!

I've written thirty stories this year so far! So for Week 31 of the year, I've drawn my 31st prompt. So here it is:

A couple of years ago I wrote a short story that spoofed the so-called redemption arc, and today I sold it! It won't come out until next year, but I must say I'm pretty chuffed!

That sounds unpleasant.

Ah, of course! I should have noticed the British pound sign in front of the cost. Silly me.

I can't figure out what time zone this refers to.
