  • Short Fiction Round-Up #71

    In January, I suggested twenty-two (22) short stories by other authors for readers on my various social media. Every weekday at 8:00 am on Twitter, Facebook, Mastodon, and Tumblr I post these links (see connected social media on sidebar for links). I do this because if you like what I like to read, though I’m…

  • Writing Advice and Feedback #1

    What is this? For a couple of years now, I’ve been threatening one of my writing groups to write blog posts about writing advice and feedback. I get a little cranky on these topics. They say, “Do it!” and then I never do. Kermit Do It GIFfrom Kermit GIFs That is about to change. More…

  • Reading Reflection 2022

  • Short Fiction Round-Up #68

    I apologize for the delay in this post. Normally it goes up the first Monday of the month, rounding up all the previous month’s short fiction I suggested.

  • Quarter 3 of 2022 Reads

    First Time for Everything This is my first quarterly reading update, despite making a goal to have these each quarter in 2022. That’s because I read about three published books along with several beta reads prior to August 2022. I’ve been struggling to read for most of 2021 and 2022. Audiobooks and novellas save the…
