For those of you who have been reading my blog for a while, you know I pride myself on never missing a post. That seems to have fallen by the wayside in the previous few months as I have missed my self-imposed Wednesday posting more than once (this week included). But, why is this happening? Well, unfortunately, it isn’t just one thing. I like to think I can recover from one issue or another, but when there are multiple ones…let’s just say recovery is more difficult. For example, the day job is challenging. I won’t say more than that, but I am leaving at the end of the day mentally and emotionally drained. I’m pretty sure I’m not unique in […]

Get Published Episode 90 – Tee and Pip Collaborate
90 episodes and still going. When I started planning Get Published almost four years ago, I never thought it would last this long.

Since the final revisions for Mik Murdoch began in earnest, I have had less time for podcasting, writing, television and a host of other things that I enjoy. The only ones I have worked hard not to neglect are my family. Without them, there is no point writing. I foolishly thought that when the revisions were complete I would have […]
Read moreShifting Priorities
Priorities are funny things. What is important today may not be quite so important tomorrow. Take, for example, Mik Murdoch, Boy Superhero. If you were take a guess and say it is my HIGHEST priority right now, you would be bang on. Until I get this baby launched, nothing will even come close in importance to me. However, three years ago, it wasn’t really even on the radar. I was working on several other projects and Mik was on the shelf. Then a little matter of Five Rivers taking an interest in it and KABLAM! Mik jumped to the top of the priority list. That isn’t to say that I’m ignoring everything else. I haven’t missed an episode of Get […]
