Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night. I used to fret about it, but ever since reading about first sleep and second sleep, I sort of roll with it. Sometimes I go back to sleep, but usually I just go ahead and get up. Last night was one of those and resulted

Behold! I have a new chapter for those of you reading along. I got about two thousand words done on the flight back from Salt Lake City. The flight itself was entirely uneventful, but we had a tiny bit of excitement on the way to the airport. For reasons that remain unclear, my phone kept

For those reading along, Chapter 13 is up. Yesterday we recorded eight episodes of Writing Excuses. I’ll be honest that it’s weird to be here recording without Dan. When we’re at conventions, it’s not unusual to have only two or three cast members and record an episode with a special guest. Being at Brandon’s house,

Back in early 2012, I broke one of my molars. Rob and I were strapped financially. We were not sure how we were going to cover the cost of having the tooth dealt with. During the midst of that stress, I tweeted about the tooth. Shortly after that, I got an email from Jim Fiscus. Jim

We had our annual holiday party last night. My grandmother Robby (from whom I get my middle name) started throwing a Christmas Eve dinner party for the entire family 57 years ago. My parents have carried on the tradition. While I was growing up, they’d do a similar menu in Raleigh and I eventually realized

For those reading along, I made some changes to Chapter 8, which is mostly at the end starting with “Vincent narrowed his eyes…” that might affect how you read Chapter 10. Meanwhile, I recorded an audio book this week, so got very little writing done. Hopefully I’ll start being able to get pages turned out
