Good things, small packages, yada yada
Clearly it's been too long since I wrote longhand – I can no longer estimate with any accuracy at all how long a segment is. That little scene was only 124 words. Ah, well. It's still good. … [Read more...] about Good things, small packages, yada yada

New Group
No progress to report – I've been tied up with other projects and books – but I did think up a plot twist this morning. Gotta count for something…. Last week's plot changes are still percolating. Progress will be made this week. I met with a new (to me) … [Read more...] about New Group
The fine art of payback
In the fine tradition of the Houston Doubletree Hotel PowerPoint presentation (no link, sorry, they're all dead) comes A Man and His Money. (Flash, several minutes in length. Well worth it.) … [Read more...] about The fine art of payback
