Well, I’m about to wrap it up for the day. I rewrote two chapters of The Prometheus Syndrome and made the last edits to my 2005 Free Sampler chapbook. Answered some of that long overdue e-mail. Listened to some good music. Looked at cruise information online … the wife and I plan to take a…

Okay, well, my wife figured out what I was up to. But I’m at work anyway. This morning I will answer some lingering e-mail I haven’t had time for, the write until my fingers bleed. Or until about 3:30 p.m. The weekend was typical since the wife worked. Spent most of my time feeding kids.…

The university is closed on Monday for The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. I haven’t told my wife I’m off work that day. My plan is to leave home just like usual, come to the office and spend eight glorious hours writing fiction, editing fiction … being a fiction writer. I’d never get…

Yeah, I forgot to mention that I also have freelance articles to finish up today. Kinda lost some enthusiasm for them when I learned the paper is holding two of the other ones. Oh well. One is finished, another is close and the source won’t call me back on the third. I ain’t sweating it.…

For those who don’t know, my title is news services director (and I have no idea why it’s not just called public relations director). I answer to the director of university relations … that’s…

What a day. Ever have one of those days where you’re busy every minute, but when it’s over you realize you got absolutely nothing accomplished. That was me today. Well, may well have accomplished pissing off somebody I shouldn’t have. Somebody connected with work. I’m reluctant to go into much detail on the same day…

Doing my boss’s job while he’s out sucks. On the top of the “This sucks” list at the moment is dealing with vendors. Last Friday morning a representative from a new printing company called and wanted to come by and drop off a business card and talk about what we print and how her company…

And I loved almost every minute of it. Coulda done without Moss’s mock mooning, but considering the signs the fans had up, he owed it to them. On to Philly.

Here it is, Sunday morning. A few random thoughts from me as my wife cleans the toilets. I gave in on the earring for my son’s birthday. He and his best friend went to Claire’s Boutique and got their ears pierced. I want to include my short story “Wandering John” in Darkscapes, but I lost…
