Celebrating Milestones

Leave a Comment / Emotional, Intellectual, Physical, Spiritual, Writing / By

Hello, loyal followers, When I started this blog six (!) years ago, I did so because all the writing experts at the time claimed that having a blog was necessary for writing success. The world of platform-building was largely unexplored at the time, but most experts agreed that participating in social media was the most …

Rant about Quicken

Leave a Comment / Emotional, General Interest, Intellectual, Neo-Renaissance, Writing / By

Quicken, the financial software from Intuit, is the only electronic application (whether software, hardware, in-between-ware, or cabana wear), with which I have a love-hate relationship. I love Quicken because it allows me to still prepare my own income tax return. In 42 years of filing tax returns, I’ve taken a perverse pride in bucking the …

Attention to Details

Leave a Comment / Writing / By

I’m on the cusp of publishing my first novel. I’ve reached the final stages: book cover design, formatting for the various eBook readers, prepping my new website, and planning my marketing strategy. One of the key steps is approving the final draft as formatted for printing. This is the point of no return. Once I …

Letting Go

Leave a Comment / Intellectual, Writing / By

(I recently shared this post on Trail Baboon, a fine community of bloggers.) I’ve had it! Enough is enough! I can’t change one more word! While working on the final draft of my suspense novel, Castle Danger, those thoughts built up over the past few weeks until I reached a breaking point. It’s time to …

My Favorite Book of 2015

Leave a Comment / Book Reviews, Books, Reading in General, Intellectual, Neo-Renaissance, Writing / By

(for my wife, a huge Paul Newman fan) One of my jobs as a writer is to read. A lot. I’ve set a goal in the past few years of reading at least one book per week (audio books count) and I’ve succeeded. Yesterday I finished my 82nd book of 2015, according to my Goodreads …

… One Giant Leap for an Author

Leave a Comment / Intellectual, Neo-Renaissance, Writing / By

Neo-Renaissance practitioners are always looking for new experiences, new insights, new knowledge, and pushing their own limits. As an aspiring polymath, some years ago I took up the creative endeavor of writing fiction, particularly the novel. At first, it was calling my wife’s bluff after she insisted once too often, “You should write a novel!” …

Getting Old Sucks, Yet I’m Grateful

Leave a Comment / Emotional, General Interest, Intellectual, Neo-Renaissance, Physical, Spiritual / By

I’ll be 60 in two months and Thanksgiving has given me pause to consider what I’m thankful for, so here goes. Getting old sucks. Plain and simple. Especially for those of us fortunate enough to have enjoyed excellent health for most of our lives. I’ve never contracted a serious or chronic disease. Never been in …

Clubs, Quilts, and ‘Cue

Leave a Comment / General Interest / By

(Nothing Neo-Renaissance about today’s post other than the concept of taking an idea and running with it until it has ballooned into something quite different from what you started with.) As an adult, I’ve never been a big fan of Halloween, especially kids going house to house asking for candy. I understand the roots of …
