My Writing Schedule–Revisited
So last year, I wrote a post about my writing schedule. I don’t really have a writing schedule, but I did pretend to have one for a while before I fell of the proverbial cliff earlier this year. At the beginning of the year, and by that I mean January 1st, I started writing a…

Writing a book?
I have started working on a book (again). I have gotten started a couple of times… but didn’t really get very far. This year, on January 1st, I started writing with the goal of writing 100 words every day. So far that has worked out well for me. The first few days, it was easy…

It Has Been A While…
I haven’t posted in while. Since July actually. It has been rather busy around here. I may have mentioned before that I have 4 kids. You may already know Carolyn, since she posts on here from time to time. I also have 2 kids in high school that are in the marching band. Marching band…

I Broke It!
I have a few things to mention today. First, I broke my server on Tuesday. I came home from work, and got a notice that my blog was down. It happens rather often lately (more in a minute). In an effort to reduce the frequency of the outages, I decided to change how my server…

Greece is Blue
This is not fiction, but a true(ly boring) story. Nothing in this is made up, but it is based on my memories of the time, so I don’t promise complete accuracy. ***** A long time ago, in a time far away, I was a young sailor on a ship in the Mediterranean. At the time…

My Writing ‘Schedule’
My writing schedule, is really not a schedule. I have tried to keep this blog active with posts by writing in spurts and scheduling those posts for specific times. I think consistency is good, and with the scheduled postings, I feel like I can be a little more consistent. Unfortunately, my actual writing times are…

Explosives T-Shirt
I listen to a lot of pod casts on my drive to and from work. One of the podcasts I listen to is Writing Excuses. At the end of each episode they usually provide a writing prompt. I don’t usually do anything with the writing prompts, but this was early in the podcast seasons and…

Behind Schedule
Since I started blogging on this particular site, I have been doing a pretty good job of maintaining a somewhat consistent posting schedule. I had even gotten enough content ready that I had it scheduled out several weeks (at two posts a week). Unfortunately, I allowed my work ahead to lull me into a more…

Asteroid Eros
When I wrote the first part of Heavenly Potato, I had been reading about asteroids, and came across the mention of Eros. The shape of it reminded me of a potato, and the images NASA has of it could be an inspection of a potato in black and white. It is rather interesting to look…

Heavenly Potato: Chapter 2
Demex looked at the probe data again. It appeared that yet another star system had the right conditions for life. Unfortunately, this one appeared to be already inhabited with semi-intelligent life. The indications were there, showing that they had the ability to harness energy from heavy elements. They don’t appear to be very advanced though.…
