  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Images: Good or Bad?

    One of the regular suggestions I see, (when I am looking) in the WordPress and online presence guidance, is add pictures/ images/ thumbnails/ icons/ logos to your work.  I mean, I did that for my ‘professional’ blog.  It has a logo that I created, from things that are important to me, and are a part…

  • Blogging Stuff

    There are a lot of people that blog (or perhaps, journal) on a daily basis.  I am not one of those people.  I have claimed (mostly to myself) that I want to write a book.  I have been making that claim for about 4 or 5 years now.  I even took a “Creative Writing Habits”…

  • ChatGPT – AI Writing

    Ruining the market? I read an article about how ChatGPT is now the author or co-author of over 200 books on Amazon. It is expected that there are many more that haven’t disclosed the use of ChatGPT in the writing. I briefly toyed with the idea, thinking that it might help me be more confindent…

  • Writing Samples Coming Soon

    The point of this blog (I think) is for me to be able to practice writing fiction.  There will be lots of posts where I talk about random thoughts or ideas that I have.  Perhaps some posts about tools that I use (because.. why not?).  And there will be samples of fiction writing. Now, to…

  • The Blog Has Been Deployed

    I finally created a new blog. Or at least, I completed the install for it. I haven’t posted anything on it yet, and right now if you were to go to it, it wouldn’t respond. (The site is ‘stopped’ in IIS). My intention is to get a post published on it soon. Probably in the…

  • Why Do I Think I Want to Write?

    I first latched onto the idea of becoming a writer because my daughter mentioned wanting to be an author when she grows up. She was in 5th or 6th grade. She is an avid reader and the idea of being an author appealed to her. She even started writing stories for fun. I don’t think…
