Apologies for another late posting, but the latter half of August has been a whirlwind of activity, as expected. Between vending at two back-to-back conventions (the subjects of an upcoming blog post or two), staying briefly at a mountain lodge, and all the days of travel in between, there had been little to no timeContinue reading “Plans for September”

Plans for August
July has been a long, fairly quiet month. Unfortunately the first week was a bit hectic, and it never truly recovered, though progress was made throughout, particularly on the Knights of Aralia as hoped. Christmas in July was perhaps the biggest highlight, despite the modest returns (see my recap here). Nevertheless, I applied to vendContinue reading “Plans for August”
Plans for July
June was a busy month, though with what at times I couldn’t say. It started off with my setup Carry Nation Days and ended in a mad dash to prepare things for the upcoming month of July, which was mostly successful. July will be a grand month, I can just feel it. Once again KnightsContinue reading “Plans for July”
Handling Criticism
In the past, I’ve dealt with the subject of handling rejection from publishers. But how do you handle simple criticism of your work? What do you do if you get comments or reviews bashing your work or even you as the author? In this post, I’ll attempt to address this sometimes delicate issue.
Plans for June
May was every bit the full month I had predicted. Not only was progress made on several manuscripts, but I took an actual week’s vacation and attended Belton, Missouri’s first annual Carry A. Nation Days event (where I will still be until 8:00 tonight!). June will probably be a quieter month by comparison, but preparationsContinue reading “Plans for June”
Plans for May
April was a month of constant action. Though it was never as focused nor as organized as I had hoped, progress was made on several drafts at various stages of production. May is set up to be a fairly spectacular month. With a bit more organization thrown into the mix, I will be able toContinue reading “Plans for May”
Plans for February
January proved a very busy month indeed. While I cannot say I caught up, due to taking on a major project in addition to those I had initially planned, I nevertheless consider January to be a month of solid accomplishments. Going into February, I shall clean up the remainder of January’s projects, then at lastContinue reading “Plans for February”
Happy New Year!
Greetings all, and happy new year! May 2024 prove a fortuitous year for us all.
Plans for December
November was a busy month. So busy, in fact, that I have spent the first week of December trying to readjust my schedule. I think I have finally succeeded. As usual, this final month of the year will involve a lot of wrapping up and reorganizing for the new year. Hopefully my current rough draftContinue reading “Plans for December”
Plans for November…and Beyond
Greetings all. I’m rather late on my monthly update, for which I apologize. In fact, I only just now realized I never did an update for October! However, there has been a lot going on. October was a very long, full month. It started with a little excursion to Tulsa, followed by many weeks ofContinue reading “Plans for November…and Beyond”
