Marketing Brain

Right, this is a ramble.  I was going to put it up on Facebook instead, but…lemme get to that. I wish I’d been posting about this kind of stuff more regularly, because now I have like this huge stack of thoughts, and it feels like to have the last thought make sense, I have to

Zombie Love

I don’t want to lecture you about your boyfriend.  You already know what I think.  Instead, let me tell you how we met.  It’s either that or you’re grounded. —Okay, Dad. So I’d gone to the zoo a week ago when the zombie apocalypse started.  Your mom was wearing a leopard-skin wrap with the claws

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that girls fart. What surprises me, though, is that my daughter farts like a boy.  What I would consider a boy.  At home, she’ll be doing something, and just fart.  She won’t hold it in, sneak off to the bathroom, and discreetly wander back

Process vs. Judgment

I’m reading The Year Without Pants: WordPress.com and the Future of Work, and for some reason it’s helped me put into words something that I’d been having trouble expressing, about indie publishing. All over the place, what I’m seeing is that everyone, indies and traditionally published authors and hybrids, are almost universally extremely anxious to express the

Black and White

Right, this has nothing to do with writing or promotion, except it does. There are some people who split the world up into twos, and some who don’t.  Optimist/pessimist.  Atheist/believer.  Yes/no.  Democrat/Republican.  Things like that.
