So, it got to me this morning that there are never enough hours in a day. There are never as many days in the year as we think, and there are never enough years, period. Now, I’m not scheming on literal immortality, but the fact of my own mortality hit me pretty hard this week….
The end of the month brings with it the end of summer for me. This next couple of weeks are all about the August Newsletter and cleaning house and organizing to prepare for the start of school this year. This year I ambark on the next leg of my educational journey. This year I start…
When you first venture into self-publishing, you know there are going to be costs involved. Hey, if it was cheap, it would be a whole lot easier to break in, right? But there are some things that might escape those keen observation skills starting out and sneak up to bite you in the–wallet. (This…
Friday was a big day for me. I apologize for not posting sooner, but the first novel in The Nova Chronicles is complete. I put the end on Bone Sliver at around 12:30 am CST Saturday morning, and I guess I took the rest of Saturday to recuperate and crow a little online. It’s been…

So graduation is over, and I’ve made it through my first intercession at RSU in Claremore. It was a great class, and I do still have the research paper to do, but it isn’t due until July, and in the interim I am volunteering with the local nature center and trying to finish the re-write…
At the beginning of this month, my entire life changed forever. Perhaps it is a small thing, and perhaps not so small in some ways. On May 8, I went from GED’d high school dropout to having a college degree. Granted, it’s an associate’s degree, but it is a degree none the less. Now, I…
When people speak of “entertainment value” they are usually talking about what the audience gets from being entertained. This is about the other thing. Last semester a guy in my Writing For Mass Media class named Matt told everyone about the Tulsa Review and that they publish student and faculty stuff and that they would…
