Feelin’ Husky
I wanted to write (which I just did), “but not Ferlin Husky. If you don’t know, and care to, he has an entry on Wikipedia. So, just one more piece of evidence of just how ancient I truly am. Now that we’ve established that I’m not Ferlin. I am in Nebraska. Woke up after a… Continue reading

Mighty MO!
For those who have read a few of my blog posts, especially the ones from my Out West trip of last year, you’ll likely be aware of my state to get a sort of adventure rig setup for more trips like that. Well, I have begun. Oh I sort of began with my First Date… Continue reading

Indiana Calling
To kick off this Colorado trip, I thought I’d swing by my cuz David’s house. And the trip was going sooo smoothly. Until it wasn’t. And that was about thirty minutes from my destination. Spittin’ distance we’d say down in the mountains. An Appalachian storyteller would start off like… “I was a gittin’ it along… Continue reading

First date with Stella…

Stella! Stellllllaaaaa! Well, friends and neighbors, here is a wee post about my (finally) camping glamping preparations for 2026. I now have my rig and basic gear for my home away from home.

Does anyone else have a SOMA addiction?
Quote What’s SOMA? Oh c’mon. I know you know what it is. It’s a cold-weather thing, and I have it bad. Sure I get SAD as well, but SOMA is what kills me. Personally I’ve had a sluggish start to my warm-weather activities. I’ve only cut my grass twice. We’ve not had as much rain… Continue reading

A little trip…

All trips, for me at least, seem a tad daunting at the outset. And for the few days prior. But I usually settle into the new routine fairly quickly. This trip however had some significance. Of course I’m talking about (ad nauseum, sorry) my ThrillerFest writer’s conference. If you’ve read my previous posts you’ll be… Continue reading

Pitches, Bitc-…
(Let’s keep this PG) PitchFest. What is everything a “fest” now? Well, yeah. At least at ThrillerFest it is. And I’m here for it. Thursday May 7th, for three hours in the afternoon, I was there for it at least. This is my first writer’s conference, and therefore my first time at the compendium of… Continue reading

Progress so far (ThrillerFest that is)
I have just published my post that was going to ThrillerFest. Sorry for the delay. You see, the first morning I was feeling a little… verklempt. I could tell you were all talking amongst yourselves. This being my first foray into the wide world of writing, the disorientation I was feeling was a bit overwhelming.… Continue reading

Geological observation whilst at writer’s conference
Looking out the window I see that I am surrounded by (and inside) a very tall building. Many tall buildings. And I am reminded as to why this is possible. Thank you Manhattan Schist. Okay, now back to the regularly scheduled conference. Marv Continue reading

How to write.
Well, you’d think the answer is pen and paper. Or more likely computer and keyboard. And yeah, that’s basically true. It’s what I’m doing at the moment. And yet there’s more. Perhaps it’s the question to question then. Maybe there should be more to the sentence. Maybe, just maybe, one should add: “well”; “a book”;… Continue reading
