Under a blood red eclipse
Okay — so maybe I underestimated the Red Sox. Pedro looked really shakey going into the game and I thought it was going to be another debacle, and then they guy pulls out some gumption and shows everyone why he’s thought to be so good. It wasn’t a terribly exciting game, other than some of [...]
My prediction for the World Series
I don’t often step out on the limb to predict the way sports are going to come out, but this is what I think will happen: The Cardinals are going to take at least two games at home. Maybe all three. They’ve been unbeatable at home in the post-season. So, there’s a very good chance [...]
World Fantasy, HorrorFind
This coming weekend, I’ll be attending two events that are running concurrently in the same area. The first is the World Fantasy Convention in Tempe, Arizona. I’ll be taking part in the mass autograph event on Friday night and I am moderating a panel on Saturday morning at 10:00 called Writing a Series and Keeping [...]
What else do you need to know?
Red Sox 10 Yankees 3
Red Sox win series 4 games to 3 after being down 3-0
Astros-Reds series decided tonight
Amazing stuff.
What a ball game!
I rarely watch sports until the playoffs come along, so I’m not used to the stress.
Last night’s Red Sox/Yankees game was a real stresser. From about the time A-Rod slapped the ball out of the pitcher’s hand onward, I was on the edge of my seat, waiting for some cataclysmic screw up to end the [...]
Can’t stand the heat…
…but I’m not in the kitchen, so what do I do now?
It’s unusually hot, even for Houston. The high is 92 degrees and it’s only going down to 72 overnight. Two days in Maine was enough to get me in an autumn mood. I don’t appreciate this rebound summer in the least. I left the [...]
Resetting the internal thermometer
This weekend was my first “away game,” a signing in foreign territory. Venturing into terra incognita.
I flew into Portland, Maine on Saturday morning. I’ve probably been in the city before, but not that I could remember. I promptly set off in the wrong direction, but eventually made my way into the downtown area where my [...]
New England bound
Tomorrow morning–so early that it can almost be considered tonight–I’m off to Portland, Maine for my second signing. I’m hoping for some decent autumn weather and at least a few lingering colorful leaves. I have most of the afternoon to wander around the countryside until I meet up with a bunch of Dark Tower fans [...]
The 10% solution
Some wise sage said that the second draft of a story or novel should end up 10% shorter than the first draft. I’ve never taken that as a rule, but rather as an observation. In my experience, it just happens.
On Sunday I wrote the first draft of a new story that came out at 6600 [...]
Go Astros
I don’t watch much baseball until the playoffs come around, but this year the season-ending comeback by the Astros has a lot of people around here sitting up and paying attention. Last night they won their first post-season series in their lifetime…and mine. 43 years! And they didn’t just win it, they blew the [...]
