I'm finally getting some consistency back in regards to working on my second draft of Far to the North. I'm not breaking any records, but progress is being made. I've gone through a couple more chapters in the last few weeks, and it's starting to turn into momentum. For me, momentum turns into habit, and … Continue reading Chapters →

My son, who is eight, has been changing in interesting ways lately. He's beginning to see the world outside of himself. He's learning that other people have a range of desires just like he does, and through that, he's been doing a bit of peeking into my world, learning a little about what makes me … Continue reading Words of Support →

Holidays, holidays... and for the first time in my professional life, I'm off for the sake of it being a holiday. No more being deployed or working nights or being on shift or what have you. Gotta say, it's nice. So to you and yours, may you have a pleasant and relaxing end to the … Continue reading Merry Christmas and Happy New Year →

Honestly, I'd love to slog on for a few paragraphs about my epic struggle with living life and trying to find time to write, but … Continue reading The Standard Struggle →

It seems fitting that after I "announce" my return to writing/finishing my book, I turn around and go on travel for two weeks for work. Now that I'm back, I can return to being back to writing (again). So expect to see more chapters (again). In the meantime, enjoy a couple photos from lovely northern … Continue reading Back (Again) →

Got about halfway through it today. It's looking good and feeling even better. Should be posted by the end of the weekend.

It's over. Summer that is. Unfortunately. Though I suppose that depends on your perspective. Either way, with summer over, so is my break. I resume my efforts on Far to the North tomorrow. I'm excited. I've been away from that story for too long, which is honestly a nice thing when going over your own … Continue reading Back to It →
