		<title>Where the heck I&#8217;ve been</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know I&#8217;ve been whisper-silent on this blog since, well, forever.  The reason for this is I&#8217;ve been in a &#8220;quiet time&#8221;.  I&#8217;ve been writing, of course, but in amongst that was a job change, a collaborative project (almost done, thank you Mr. Gareth Jones), and of course The Tyrant Stratagem, which is [...]]]></description>

		<title>And a massive sigh of accomplishment&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mark it down in the books.  Here lies the first draft of &#8220;The Tyrant Stratagem&#8220;, hammered out on this day of our Lord, October 27th, 2009.
Ten years back it took me a year and a half to finish a first draft.  This one was done in nine months.  I&#8217;m pleased about that. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thanks to all who nominated&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;&#8221;Best in Class&#8221; for the Parsec Award in the nod for short fiction.  And thanks for the judges and especially the listeners, too.  I didn&#8217;t win the award, which is honestly okay.  I would have felt guilty if Michael Natale&#8217;s excellent &#8220;Under the Bed&#8221; hadn&#8217;t gotten the award.  Honestly, the story [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Best in Class&#8221;, finalist for 2009 Parsec Award!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So here&#8217;s some welcome good news:  &#8220;Best in Class&#8220;, that little tale I churned out last year, has been made a finalist, in the running for &#8220;Best Speculative Fiction Story, (Short Form)&#8221;.
I don&#8217;t think &#8220;honored&#8221; is a strong enough word.  And no matter what happens, I want to go ahead and thank Murky [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quick tips for submission formatting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Word is still the defacto office application, and I use it in my writing.  However, the application can make life harder than it needs to be when prepping a sub.
I&#8217;ve learned how to prep a sub better over time, and figured it might help sharing these tips here.  I&#8217;m going to follow each [...]]]></description>

		<title>Listen to &#8220;Eee&#8221;, currently live on Well Told Tales</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Swim on over to welltoldtales.com, the excellent pulp fiction podcast, and have a listen to &#8220;Eee&#8221;, which was originally published on Afterburn SF back in &#8216;07.
Despite focusing almost all my energy on &#8220;The Tyrant Stratagem&#8221;, it&#8217;s nice to be able to get the occasional short fiction piece out there in the wild.  And &#8220;Eee&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Update coming soon&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a heads-up that life has been interfering lately, as it often does, and I&#8217;ve been so busy with the novel and my short fiction that I haven&#8217;t had the chance to get here and update this blog as much as I&#8217;d like.  But I will post a more thorough update soon.
Stay tuned.

		<title>Submit Now&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the biggest pains in my writing life is submitting fiction.  For those of you that might be new to writing, I highly recommend the use of a spreadsheet to track your submissions.  A simple excel sheet makes like much easier in this regard.
In my case, the sheet has all the necessary [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;The Tyrant Stratagem&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve followed this blog, you might wonder why I&#8217;ve been so quiet lately.  The short answer is, I&#8217;ve been busy. 
Interested in the long answer?  It&#8217;s been a busy several months in my personal and professional life.  We&#8217;ve cut back on staff where I work, which is symptomatic of the economy, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So the first sale of the year is in &#8212; &#8220;Eee&#8221;, as originally seen in the september 2007 issue of Afterburn SF, has been picked up by welltoldtales.com.  This is one of the darkest science fiction pieces I ever wrote, as well as one of the most &#8220;out-there&#8221; examples of my train of thought.
