  • This is Bullshit….

    So, there’s this totally accurate statistic I read somewhere on the internet a few years back, about the average publishing age of women vs. men. Women publish fictional novels at a later point in life, typically. Not all of them, obviously; just a notable amount. Almost as though the majority of women are taking care…

  • Plans Gone Awry

    No plan, no matter how well plotted, never survives contact with the enemy. In my case, the enemy is the Real World.

  • Space…The Next Frontier – IWSG February 2022

    I’m being pushed out of the house. There is not enough room in this house for myself, 2 children and someone who is trying not to be a hoarder a spouse (along with one of the children desperately trying to earn his stripes to become officially recognized as a hoarder). There is simply no room…
