What I Learned From Blogging About the Kindle
Last month, when I finally decided to “come out” about owning a Kindle, I learned two things. One, after reading some of the comments about my blog entry, I realized that I have always written about “safe” topics, ones that are least likely to stir up controversy, and heaven forbid, make [...]
Let’s Just Pretend The Last 8 Months Never Happened
Looks like it was a sabbatical after all.
Last March, after close to a three-year tenure, I hung up my Storytellers U hat — the one with the Viking horns and a beer funnel — without knowing whether this would be permanent or temporary. Couldn’t help but notice, in the interim, that lords-of-the-manor [...]
AND NOW, OUR … LOSER!
The Chicago Tribune ran “The Great Chicago Ghost Story” contest for Halloween.
The rules: A Chicago site must be mentioned in the story. No more than 750 words.
I wrote a story. Entered.
Lost.
Here’s the loser.
THE GHOSTS OF CHICAGO, I SET THEM FREE
I see the ghosts of Chicago.
I set them free.
This is a mission statement.
Mine.

Q&A the Second
Q: How does it feel to walk away? You’ve just complete a ginormous four book cycle (well, you finished it a while ago). Is it refreshing to turn back to other things, or do you light-headed?
A: The answer, of course, is yes. I am tremendously grateful to be done with the Doctrine of Labyrinths, but [...]
When I Wish I Wasn’t a Writer
When people ask me what I do for a living, I am always at a bit of a loss as to how to answer. It sounds a little too highfaluting to announce, “I am an author.” You just can’t say that sentence without sounding like you graduated from Oxford, or that you [...]

Well, since you asked -
Everything is going pretty well on the poetry and art front. I'm keeping busy working on various art and writing projects. The art seems to be taking over from the writing, but since it tend to pay better, I'm not complaining.
However, on the home front we are suffering car woes. My wife's car has some serious issues involving a leaking gas line, we don't have the money to repair or replace it right now, and it has thrown a serious spanner into our usual routine.
Sometimes all it takes is one thing to go wrong, and the troubles just snowball.
I hope all is well with you.
Best,
Richard
