Finding and Entering The Zone is Amazing Getting into that place where your work just happens with little effort. Photo by Yoori Koo on Unsplash I was working on the outline for the fourth novel in my next series. I’m nearing the end, and as I got going during this work session, time just slipped away. The ideas flowed and I lost all sense of time and space. Before I knew it, I had laid
Storyteller’s Log, 24 July 2025 Welcome to my office! A week from now, I’ll be on my annual vacation. This is the Pennsic War, a massive medieval event I’ve been attending since 1996. For 10 days or so, I’ll be living in my tall, 12×12 canvas pavilion and sleeping on a full-sized tatami mat (on a frame). This is decadent camping, as my group has an impressive kitchen setup, showers, and other infrastructure for comfort.

This year, my wife and I bought bicycles. I
What IS the Secret Formula? What attracts readers to books, patrons to the arts, and so on? Photo by Alex on Unsplash I started writing as a hobbyist a long time ago. Even then, I desired to make a career of it. This would result in writing in fits and starts for a couple of decades, learning more about other aspects of the craft like perspective, editing, layout, and more. In 2014, I started, slowly,
Storyteller’s Log, 10 July 2025 My “command center”. If this statement offends you, I am not going to apologize. Human-influenced climate change is doing some very funky things to the world. The weather has become increasingly unpredictable. And then to add insult to injury, the grossly negligent administration has cut the NOAA and made it even more difficult. My friends keep losing power because of strong storms and infrastructure that’s proving insufficient to keep up
