News, Thoughts, and Updates

Okay, so I had a nice, long, friendly post explaining life, the universe, and everything and was just about to publish it when a single keystroke deleted it all and auto-save finished the job.

So, because time is short already, here’s the concise version:

  1. I’ve been busy.
  2. I’ve been having a break from both writing and social media interaction these past few weeks and it’s been fantastic.
  3. (Not the writing part, the social media part)
  4. I serve too many masters and my efforts in upcoming days will be to consolidate some functions so that I’m not flitting from site to site, page to page, group to group, twitter to twitter, redditt to reddit, etc to etc.
  5. Because when you focus any attention on one of those things, the rest get pissy for being neglected and there’s nothing that says, “Modern Man” better than trying to give the metaphorical tit to a bunch of whiny algorithms ALL. THE. TIME.
  6. I think I’m going to use this site more often to discuss things that are more personal. I’ve got the podcast but the theme and the rss setup is not conducive to written posts. Not a huge deal to fix, but I have this site too, so what the hell?
  7. So then, I’m not making any promises but you’ll probably see more coming out of here in the near future.
  8. Avengers End Game and Game of Thrones were both amazing, global testaments to the power of story and character. Loved every second of them both.
  9. Got to go, busy, busy, buzy.
  10. Love you all.

Hello there, hope everyone is doing well. It’s been a bit quiet around here lately and with the New Year approaching, I thought I’d take a moment to let you know what’s been going on. I know you may be thinking I’m over here wasting time, but I assure you I am not. Let me tell you how 2018 went for me:

In January I made the resolution to finally, after 35 years of dicking around and telling myself I should, get serious about my writing. See, I’ve always been able to turn a phrase, and I’ve always know I had a talent for it. But you know,  writing is hard. It really, really is. Even when you have a knack for it, (more…)
