Happy Halloween!

The Corporate “They” Problem You’ve heard it before. The same sentence that derails your ideas, denies your requests, and shuts down your inquiries in the work place. “They wouldn’t want us doing that.”…

So hard to get ANY work done around here with these pesky managers getting in the way..

Best of luck!

Ah, gotcha! Yeah, I can relate to that situation! I wound up eluding to the event, and did the reveal later in the book when it made sense.

Some things are best told than teased :)

Any possibility of a teaser going on page? Like, if the characters’ background is that they were in a car crash, you could elude to it without saying it verbatim?

I do, I find it helps when feeling unmotivated

How tied to the Apple ecosystem are you? Linux can breathe new life into old hardware if you're ok with an OS switch. My 2011 MacBook Pro is still alive and well under Ubuntu!

Could always give that a whirl, but if you're wanting to stick with macOS it *might* be time to look into a new one..

Sounds about right!

Ah perfection. The key to success, yet somehow also the primary element to demise!

I've severely underestimated the impact of proper, healthy sleep. First sleep on a new mattress and I feel like I'm 20 again!

Does this realization make me woke, or just well rested?

YES!

It’s tough! Always best to query as an author rather than have cold callers slide into your DMs

Addressing Bluesky’s Biggest Problem “Do you want to talk about it?” The words seem harmless, but are carefully crafted. The design is simple – to lure you in. To get you talking about your passions and into a new co…

Absolutely! I’d like that!

I should probably work on that pitch before querying, though :)

Thanks for the podcast recommendation. And, uhm, production! Followed!

She's feisty. Sometimes unpredictable. When the pen hits the paper, sometimes even I'm surprised.

I can see my house from there!

I kind of feel this song has been playing in people's heads before they even heard this guy do it

Is it weird to be overly attached to one of your fictional side characters? She's just so damn fun to write for, but the main character might start to get jealous.

Procrastination isn't just a developed skill, it's a damn art.

Nice! Crushing goals!

Pizza is my Kryptonite The aroma of fresh baking and cheese filled the air. With each breath filling my lungs, my stomach ached to be filled in unison. Time slowed down. The noise inside the social hall fell into the bac…

If it were up to me, every night would be pizza night. #writingcommunity

I’m becoming unapologetically more comfortable taking baths over showers the older I get

Damn. I felt this one. Love it

Never judge a book by its cover!

"Just keep swimming." I'd get it.

Today we said goodbye to a good boy…my first dog. 17 long years together. Old age finally decided it was time after lending him a few extra grains in his hourglass. Rest in piece, old friend. Until we meet again.

Marriage – Love and Warfare Where I have little doubt that marriage is absolutely a confession of love for your partner until the end of time (as the promise goes), it is also no doubt the beginning of a lifelong war. The sta…

A little satirical take on marriage. If you don't hear from me tomorrow, my wife probably read this.
