I was thinking about how time got away from me this week, as I meant to post on my blog yesterday, then I reverted straight to the realization of how silly it is that humans think they can control time, buy time, hold time in their hands…you get the idea. Time doesn’t get away from […]

There’s this funny—or at least it makes me chuckle as well as groan—bit of snark seen on Facebook, posted among writers groups, that goes something like this, although I’ve embellished it herein for effect and to indulge personal flair: Here’s to all the typos, misspellings, and other inexplicable maddening glitches that persevere despite a  writer’s

For the past week I’ve been writing again like a fiend, working on my seventh novel of my Other Worldly series, Aliens Watch. And fiend is the attempted first word I used for Wordle today, just for kicks, which wasn’t the puzzle-solving word, so don’t anyone get their panties in a spoiler-alert wad because I’ve

My first thought, albeit off-track, was do you know how tricky it is to weave song mentions and inherent themes into a book without including actual lyrics? Because to do so is a no-no, unless you manage the near impossible

A recent question posed by a member of the writing community on Twitter made me pause, for a new and improved reason. It was about whether to write in the genre you enjoy reading, due to a presumption that one must be an avid reader of any given fiction genre in order to write  successfully

Were you aware that the creature we know as the octopus actually possesses alien DNA, as in extraterrestrial? It’s almost as if these aquatic entities were transported here, from some unknown spot in the vast universe, and deposited in tact within Earth’s oceans. Given that it’s Halloween, and alien DNA in all living things including
