There are a lot of times that I think I’m my own worst enemy. I get myself going on multiple projects, then, just for good measure, I throw a few more things into the mix. For example, I’ve got a couple writing projects, a book being revised, two anthology ideas developing and I’m going to World Fantasy Convention on October 27th. That should really be enough, but I’ve also decided to do NaNoWriMo again. Oh yeah, and those are only my writing commitments. I’ve also got family, work, Scouts, my Get Published podcast and a couple other things. Yup, I’m definitely my own worst enemy. Oddly enough, there are times when I have to sit back and take a deep […]

Holy Carp!
I’ve been suffering from low energy and motivation levels for the past couple weeks, but I never thought it was this bad. How bad is it? Well, it’s obviously bad enough that I FORGOT to post last Wednesday. That’s only the second time since this site was started more than two years ago. What the hell? And to make matters worse, I only just realized it. All I can say is… well there really isn’t anything I can say, is there? So here is my Wednesday post a couple days late.

The good thing for me (if you can call it that) is that I have two short stories that need to be done before the end of the month. That being the case, I’m still writing, albeit somewhat more reluctantly as my daily word count will suggest. It is still freaking cold here (some wise guy started a rumour that Calgary was the second coldest place on Earth yesterday. It wasn’t but it sure felt like it.) which is sapping my motivation. It’s dark when I leave […]
Read moreNaNoWriMo – Day 20
As you have seen by the results of the past few days I have been having a reduction in my writing output. Today was a refreshing change in many ways. I was able to have a relaxing writing day. I got up after sleeping in an extra hour and spent an hour working on my writing. My son and I had some errands to run which temporarily stalled the writing, but that was fine. I worked on my stuff a bit more after I got home and spent another hour in the early evening doing more writing. Then I had the privilege of attending the Edge Science Fiction and Fantasy Publishing 10th Anniversary Steel and Steam party. I got to […]
