Roger Alix-Gaudreau (WIP: in revision)

TFW you're on a long drive and have several new ideas for your WIP that you believe will significantly improve the story but require a TON of new work...

I really have to remember that free webinars are almost always sales calls. 😒

Weight loss plateaus suck. I'm glad to have lost 20 pounds, but I'm tired of being at the same weight for weeks despite my best efforts. I've got 30 more to go and would love to lose them all by Spring.

WTF is with the sudden surge of “it’s okay for adults to have sex with teens”? I’m so sick of this timeline.

Stranger Things, season four. Getting ready for the season five premiere next week!

She should do Texas next.

I deleted Hearthstone from all my devices over a month ago and haven’t played since then, but the new set they recently released has me jonesing to resinstall the game which means there’s only one thing to do: WRITE MORE!

Well, if I can’t sleep, at least I can celebrate that I advanced to Round 2 in the NYCMidnight Rhyming Story Challenge!

New genre, emotion, and theme coming on Thursday, and I’ll have 3 days to write a 500-word story that rhymes. Wish me luck!

He’s in good company. 😄

Actions like this is how we end this ICE bullshit. Non-compliance everywhere. The more of us who refuse to go along, the less power they have.

Remember, the government is supposed to serve us, the American people.

My wife and I made visiting every one of her castles into a bit of a pilgrimage.

This morning I realized I’ve spent about 25 to 30 hours playing Hearthstone just this month. After weeping for all the words that didn’t get written and the editing that didn’t get done, I deleted the game and all its data from all my devices. Again.

Anything getting in the way of your writing?

A reader contacted me to let me know that my short story “Storm Patrol” transported him and he hopes I’ll write more in that world.

Best. Feeling. Ever. 😁😁😁

My step 3 would be “caffeinate sufficiently to repeat steps 1 and 2”.

So, as usual, anything he says and does to undermine opponents is allowed, but anything anyone does against him is to be decried? Hypocrisy given living form.

I sold another short story! I can’t wait to tell you all more. 😀

TFW you easily cut 10% out of that short story you swore you couldn't make any tighter just a week ago. It's amazing what a little distance can do for your clarity and objectivity regarding a piece of writing.

After my big push this week, I think it’s time for a day or two off from pretty much everything. Gonna enjoy the crisp morning air, the sunshine, my coffee, and a book. Might take a long walk later.

That’s awesome! I’m a little envious.

I recently got all geeky and backed a KS project for metal key caps, and while they look great in the daylight, I do find myself missing the backlighting when it’s dim/dark in my office.

It took way more time and energy today than I expected, but my latest short story is out the door to an anthology open call. The story ended up being very different from what I imagined when I started writing it, but it was a very fun experience. Fingers crossed!

TFW you're planning out the final movement of the story and suddenly realize it's become a metaphor for suicide.

I don't want to write a metaphor for suicide. Welp, time to rethink some key elements of this narrative and bend the arc in a more hopeful direction.

Thank you!

Read books and learn things.

It's book launch day!
