I first posted this story exactly a year ago. As Super Bowl Sunday approaches, it seems worth posting again, even though posting it pretty much nails it that no one will be inviting us over for a Super Bowl party, Tom Brady or no. Oh well.
Anyhow, here it is. Maybe I’ll finish writing my reflections [Continue reading]
Hi folks. I’d love some of your thoughts here. I’m interested in learning how clearly other writers see their characters when they’re writing them. Do you have strong visual pictures of them before or while writing? Some writers hang pictures of people they think their characters might look like near their writing desks, for example.

I guess the day you renew your driver’s license and they snap that picture that will follow you around for the next 8 years BEFORE you get the black eye qualifies as a good day, right?

Well, if this title doesn’t up my blog stats and clog my spam filter, I don’t know what will.
I’m sorry to disappoint those of you visiting my site for the first time because of its title, but this post is actually about how authors merchandise and sell their books.
No, really.
Bye. Thanks for dropping by, [Continue reading]
Well, we are having a winter snow emergency here today. EVERYTHING is closed – schools, the university, no flights in or out. Here along the ocean, we have snow accumulation of maybe 1/32 inch. If the wind kicks up, we could have drifts up to 1/16 inch. Yikes.
Fortunately, we are well [Continue reading]
One of the beach cottage rental places in town has a sign that reads “There’s not much here, but what there is – you’re close to it.” The highlight of New Year’s Eve is a giant lighted beach ball being lowered from a fire truck ladder onto the beach, followed by some fireworks.
Ringing in [Continue reading]
In case you haven’t seen this yet — enjoy.
