I’ve been talking about it since January, and you all have been very patient. Finally, today, I’m ready to reveal my secret project. I’ve written a science fiction novella, and I’m going to publish it here on Paper Beats World for all of you. This will be the first of a series, of course, becauseContinue reading “Secret Project Reveal!”

Changes in The Last Two Years
We’re coming up fast on the two year anniversary of Paper Beats World. It’s amazing to think I’ve stuck with it that long, but I have. I’ve got to say, I’m pretty impressed with me. If you knew my history, you’d be pretty impressed with me, too. Of course, it probably helps that PBW isContinue reading “Changes in The Last Two Years”

Today’s Prompt: Where did you live when you were 12 years old? Which town, city, and country? Was it a house or an apartment? A boarding school or foster home? An airstream or an RV? Who lived there with you? Can I be honest? I’m not totally sure I…
Dear Kyle, I thought about you again today. It’s gotten to the point, after all of these years, that I think about you and smile instead of breaking down. Not that I don’t break down, sometimes. There are a few songs that always do it to me. I freaked my kid out the other day,Continue reading
Star Trek Beyond Review
I hate summer, except for the movies. My goodness, do I love summer movies. It’s the only reason nerds like me get out of the house during the summer. Well, that and jobs. But if I didn’t need food… Anyway, I’m sure it’s not a surprise to any of you that I am a hugeContinue reading “Star Trek Beyond Review”

But I recently started a new strategy. I’m still sending to agents, but I’m also actively looking for independent publishers that areContinue reading “Submitting To Independent Publishers”

You’ve heard the old line, hurry up and wait. Well, when you’re a writer, you will learn the meaning of that term, I promise you. You do all that work, making your manuscript shine, suffering over your query packet. Then after days and nights, maybe years of work, you…
That One House In The Neighbor
Todd thought that it was a good thing when Roxie needed walked while he was working. There was only so much staring at a computer screen and calling himself a moron that he could take at one time. So when the little boxer started scratching at the front door, he hurried to save his work,Continue reading “That One House In The Neighbor”
A Review of Bojack Horseman, Season 3
Partial spoiler alert, but no more than what you’d get by reading the episode descriptions. The only downside of having access to a whole season of a show that I love is that I will watch all of it as quickly as possible, and then I have to wait almost a whole year for theContinue reading “A Review of Bojack Horseman, Season 3”
A writing update
It’s been awhile since I’ve done any sort of behind the scenes update, so I thought I’d take some time to do that today. Frankly between the continued gun violence and the election, I’d like to just talk about writing today. My current schedule’s been a little nuts.
