First 5K In the Books…
Scary Slow But I Finished… And no, I did not run. I honestly didn’t even walk fast. I just walked. Felt strange in a couple of places. I usually start up at the beginning of the pack, but this time I waited until most had started and then took off. Secondly, I was far, far from last in the 5K. I figured I would be. Had a great lunch with Kris, then we hung our medals and then I took an afternoon-long nap since I am now sleeping again on the bed after almost seven weeks of trying to sleep sitting up. So back to doing full 5K distances. Going…

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.

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 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…
