My Plan for World Domination. In Song.

Well, I know it sounds funny -
I ain’t in it for a pile of dimes.
I just want a best-seller,
Wanna see it in the New York Times.
Want a best-seller, yeah.
I’m gonna be an Overnight Sensation.

Thanks, and perhaps apologies, to:

And if you wonder what on Earth I’m talking about [...]

Now comes the scary part

Contracts for my epic fantasy novel THE DINOSAUR LORDS have arrived from Tor. Now I have the read them!

Not thinking about writing

Quick – don’t think of a rhinoceros!

Especially not, Gods forbid, a purple one.

Yeah, it’s trite. Also true. It’s hard.

So this is the task I’ve set myself. At least until next Sunday.

Of course it may seem strange to blog about it, since I’ve complained blogging is a lot like work. Since it involves. You know. Writing.

Okay. I'm shrunk.

It’s official: I’m over my severe clinical depression. Apparently.

Beam this one up, Scotty. I'll be in my cabin.

But just because you’re you, and I’m swell, I’ll give you more info.

Stuff happens

Now there’s a snappy blog post title. I am the King of SEO!

Okay. Maybe not. Under the circumstances, it’s as close an approximation to a snappy title as I can muster. Deal.

First, though: enjoy the swell cartoon above, courtesy of Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal. Thanks to haikubica for turning me onto SMBC when [...]

Shakin’ it up

I’m not doing enough. Not writing enough, not exercising enough. Not creating enough pleasure in my life. Not getting enough juice out of life, as Tony Robbins puts it.

Also I’m not getting younger, fuck it anyway.  I truly believe that in the very near future our lives – that’s productive, vigorous, joyous life, not having [...]
