Well, surprisingly enough, I managed to write and redraft Gingerbread Man yesterday, and feeling quite emboldened, sent it off for its first publication consideration. Admittedly, work on the main WIP, Dreaming Pools, is a bit behind, but in typical Mikey fashion, a compromise has been reached with my muse.
Yes, if I may direct your attention to the bottom right corner of the page (those of you on the RSS feed…just imagine a team of dancing llamas and you get the idea), I am adding to the works in progress counters. Not just words written for the Dreaming Pools, but I’ve also started adding [...]
I’ve been back and forth on this topic before, but last week I finally had an epiphany. It came to me in a flash that what I needed was really a manager for my novel, not something to write it with, a framework not an engine. And that’s when I realized I had that framework [...]
As mentioned before, today is the grassroots National SF/F Day (a la a twitter thread from clarkesworld, originally from rolanni).
Seems like forever since I posted an update on the Dreaming Pools (its been over a week). I’m still straddling the 60k mark for words, last week’s commute taking its toll as expected. I should easily make 65k this week, though – I’m already at over 1k today alone.
Just a quick shout out – not because I missed Father’s day (that was yesterday, check), but because today is Dad’s birthday – and I know he peeks in here to see what his kid is rambling about now
And look – I got the date right this week!
I have a confession. Despite my love affair with ywriter, I do miss me some linux simplicity. Not to mention protection against common viri.
Inevitably, if you talk with someone long enough, the topic will turn to food. One of my favorite recipes is one I got from my Mom for the Greek lasagna, pastitso.

Michael is happily married and the proud father of three girls. He acknowledges that that means that as soon as they hit their teens, the bathroom will be lost forever and his hypertension will go through the roof as he hunts down a shotgun. In the meantime, he enjoys tinkering with Linux (former Gentoo dev, w00t), fixing his frankenparts PC, and attempting to write stories that are worthy of reading (a ways to go on that one). Its nice to have aspirations at least :)
