Romancing the Weird: September 2011
http://romancingtheweird.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 25, 2011. What made me weird, part one. This post is inspired by an old post. One of my favorite blogs. I started using a computer when I was three. Back in the 80s this was the exception, not the rule. My parents had a PC Jr, one of the first computers with a monitor that could display any kind of color. My dad taught me how to use MS DOS to access the games on the PC Jr. My favorite of these games was called Rogue. Once, I made it to perhaps the twentieth level, which was a big deal s...

Romancing the Weird: Accomplishments
http://romancingtheweird.blogspot.com/2011/12/accomplishments.html
Tuesday, December 20, 2011. 2011 was kind of awesome. Despite my neuroses and crippling attention deficit disorder I managed to get some good work in. Let's take a look. I produced a show, Doomsday Cabaret, all by myself and it didn't suck. In fact, I've heard people liked it. I taught a workshop at a regional festival for the first time! I wrote a short story! I performed outside the US for the first time! I started writing a novel I am pretty much in love with. I forced myself to start submitting Redli...

Romancing the Weird: December 2011
http://romancingtheweird.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 31, 2011. For perhaps the first time in my life I am sad to see a year end. We moved to a nice apartment with lots of closet space and big windows that look out into the bright blue sky. At night we play Magic: The Gathering and Arkham Horror. We don't live paycheck to paycheck any more. I started working with a group of writers who make me much more sane about my writing. Some of them even like to play Magic with me. (I played a lot of Magic in 2011.). Tuesday, December 20, 2011.

Romancing the Weird: April 2011
http://romancingtheweird.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 13, 2011. I have a confession to make. I am a serial procrastinator, and I have the attention span of a puppy at a public park. I have low energy, I can't remember what happened five minutes ago, and I can't seem to get organized no matter how hard I try. I'm basically a cautionary tale, so it might seem that I'm the last person in the world that should be writing about productivity. Here are their stories. 15 minutes at a time. Don't talk about it. I try not to spend too much time talki...

Monday, February 28, 2011. February recap and goals for March. Hey, guess what? It's walk of shame time. Here were my goals for February. Choreograph a solo for the Bozenka show. ALL OF IT. Well, I tried. I got a minute and a half of a new choreo done, then decided I totally hated it. And now I will be doing improv. Abort/Retry/Fail. Write an epilogue for my book. I did this. And I actually liked it. Write a plot summary. No, really. Actually write it this time. Go to some more writers' meetups. All righ...

Romancing the Weird: Side effects
http://romancingtheweird.blogspot.com/2012/01/side-effects.html
Sunday, January 22, 2012. So I am on a new drug that's supposed to help me manage my Fibromyalgia pain. For quite a long time I was terrified of getting pharmaceutical help for my condition, but after a resounding success with a sleep drug I started last year I thought what the hell, let's give this a shot too. I am not sure I like the main effect of the drug, not to mention the side effects. My hunger impulses are out of whack. I don't feel particularly hungry at all, ever. But I always feel lik...So I ...
