What am I doing? In my journal here, I've started posting Japan-related things that tie-in to my novels, thinking that might interest my readers. But it was nearly crickets on my UFO catcher post last week! Maybe I took a wrong turn. So this week I'm just going to give a quick update on what's …

Writer Battle and…Cookies!
The year is almost over. Again. They seem to be somewhat rapid fire lately. As I write this, I am craving cookies. I’ve been craving cookies all day. There are no cookies in my house. I am also riding the stationary bike as I write this. I know! Ridiculous! But this is something that I’ve …
October Update
Photo by Andrea Boldizsar on Unsplash. I haven’t written much about the sequel to Headless here. In fact, I think the only thing I’ve mentioned is that I am writing one. I actually haven’t told ANYONE what it’s about yet. Not even my wife. Not even my brother. Both of whom I share just about everything with. I …
Now
Photo by Steve Halama on Unsplash Just a quick update today. I have added a Now page to my site. This is a simple page where I can put what I'm working on and thinking about right now. It also has my current reading list. The idea is Derek Siver's and he has a site dedicated to it …
Got a Favorite e-Reader?
Headless is probably on it. It's now available on just about every e-reader and most e-book platforms. Several more than it was before actually, and some I had never heard of. In publishing terminology this is called going wide. I tried going exclusive with Amazon Kindle for three months to see what all the hype was …
Words Lost and Words Found (NaNoWriMo Update — Week Two)
Photo by ariadna I have been writing every day—not that this is terribly unusual of late—but this time with the pressure of not getting my word count in for NaNoWriMo on top of it. It's a silly, self-imposed trial of words, but I think there's some great value to it. Just having committed to doing it …

To Recharge or Not to Recharge (NaNoWriMo Update – Week One)
Photo by Jordan McQueen I’ve been writing every day for a solid week on the sequel to my recently finished novel (as yet to be published, or officially announced) as part of NaNoWriMo. That’s National Novel Writing Month, if you’re not familiar. It’s been a lot of fun, but I’m also putting in a lot …

NOVEL IS FINISHED!
photo by Dustin Lee Yes, you read that correctly. I have finished my novel, the very first one. Yesterday, around 9pm is when the last word was written. I had given myself a deadline of today, Oct. 31st and I brought it in a day early. A few days ago, it was looking bleak. I had …
Progress Update 002 — Jumping Heads
So, yeah... I'm late this week. But I don't suppose anyone is chomping at the bit to read my posts promptly on Tuesdays. If you are, I'm sorry. Things get derailed sometimes. Life takes its own course. But here we are. First off, I removed the "Progress Update" part of the title of last week's …
Progress Update 001 – Yoshio and Friends
So... this is maybe a new feature of my blog. I decided I just needed to make a little progress update and get a feel for where I am and how things are going. I've received good feedback about my story, The Kanji Test, which was in last week's post. My one follower comment so …
