Dark, soulful tales that haunt long after the last page.
This afternoon I’ll be visiting the offices of The Oklahoma Gazette, OKC’s weekly alternative newspaper, for a photo shoot to accompany the Halloween article they’re running on me and Craig Wolf. The photographer told me they want “a nice portrait that looks a little spooky.” That made me think of a Stephen King interview from…
Judging by the panels I’ve sat on at conventions this summer, it seems that a lot of authors have the question, “Should I outline my story, or just start writing?” The short answer is that if you’re spending much time wondering this, you’re wasting time you could be using to actually work on your story.…
I haven’t done my Incriminations newsletter in well over a year. This was a print newsletter aimed at bookstores and libraries that I would do on an as-needed basis. I wrote it in third person and stuck to mostly trade stuff. For the new one, I scrapped a lot of that. There’s still enough information…
Guess who has a job interview next week. I won’t say where yet, and I don’t know a whole lot about it, but it is a full-time position. Needless to say, I’m excited. And the timing is great, as the merger at Kim’s job is heating up and she’ll be facing changes soon. My first…
A $35 service call and $25 filter from the home security company and I am now connected with DSL. The technician told me the filters SBC Yahoo sends out for security systems don’t work until they’re taken apart and reworked. Gee, I’m shocked. I am liking the DSL, though.

Yesterday, you’ll remember, somebody from SBC’s DSL support center called the home phone and talked to my wife, despite the fact they were supposed to call my cell phone. They…
Still no Internet connection at home. I even went out and bought the network adaptor I needed ($15.99 at Best Buy). I surprised even myself by figuring out how to install it and doing so without frying the inside of my computer with the dreaded static electricity. Put it all back together, put in the…
But maybe not. I was supposed to make the switch from SBC Yahoo dial-up to SBC Yahoo DSL today. But duh! I don’t have an ethernet card installed on my computer. I’ll have to check into pricing those today, but it would be this weekend, at the earliest, before I actually go out and get…
Not much to report. Today is Amanda’s birthday, so happy birthday, Mandy! The OU Sooners whipped Kansas State yesterday. The Vikings are not on TV here, which blows. I hate the Dallas Cowboys. Here’s yesterday’s progress on Ulrik: 21,019 / 100,000(21.0%)
