Star Trek Stuff
Still Typing with One Hand… So a Blast from 2012! I wrote this originally in 2012, over a hundred novels ago… I have republished it at least once, but it is good Trek history. ————— Last week in the mail (2012) I got this huge packet of royalty statements from Pocket Books. Now understand, when I say huge, I mean huge. Maybe 200 pages. I’ve written shorter novels to be honest. These statements are only for the books I did with Pocket Books that are still in print in one form or another. And a bunch of them are Star Trek books of one sort or another. Looking through those statements,…

The Word Challenge
Keep Powering… I am on track to have the worst year writing word count in maybe over thirty years. My average is about 1.3 million words a year. The first three months of the year I wrote very little, around 80,000 words because of losing my vision to that infection last October. So in April 1st I restarted, rebuilding slowly, and I had just about had hit my normal speed again when I fell on that run and broke my shoulder. So maybe 2,000 words in the last six weeks, all blog stuff. So everyone who challenged me back in April is going to win if you had a decent…

Getting Back To Writing
Not There Yet… Got to wait until I can type with two hands. But I have noticed lately that I have been going through a weird form of craving, or withdrawal, or something. Three times in the last few days I have sat at my writing computer and tested if I could write yet. I knew from working on this business computer it would not work yet, but I still found myself sitting there. And I am talking about getting back to writing, which I never do normally. Kris calls me a stealth writer in normal times. So getting impatient, not with healing the injury, but with getting back to…

Update On Injuries…
Almost Five Weeks Since Surgery… Thanks, everyone, for all the great well-wishes. Very much appreciated. So here is an update… Things are improving for me and my new titanium shoulder. But still issues. Still sleeping sitting up which does not allow good rest. Still typing with one hand which causes me to get behind at times on things. With luck that will change in the next week or so and my letters won’t be so short. PT folks are nice, but wow is that painful, which drains me especially with the lack of good sleep. I am out of the brace and now trying to train my arm to hang…

Collaboration…
Hall and Oates Fight… This came through Variety Magazine. An article on a restraining order Hall filed against Oates and why. All copyright and collaboration related. One quote from the article… “According to the AP report, what it is that Hall can’t go for is Oates’ desire to sell his share of the duo’s Whole Oats Enterprises to the investment firm, which already purchased a “significant” stake in their catalog rights 16 years ago. Hall has indicated that he regrets not owning all his publishing.” Now back as the pandemic started, we started and then stopped a collaboration class. Ended up we could not do it as intended for a…
