Fun, NOT Funny
Going to try blogging more regularly. At least two or three times a week. No promises, but we’ll see what happens.
By the way, I’ll be taking part in Borders.com’s Babel Clash, a two week blogging exchange thing. I’m not really sure how it works or what I’ll be doing, but it’s flattering to be asked to participate. So I’ll be doing it because any chance to meet new fans without forcing me to get up and leave my house is cool with me. It’ll start next Wednesday. I’ll keep you updated gang.

Ask a Smart Guy: The Novelology Marathon
Hello, hello. What’s this? Two blog posts in one week? Well, why the heck not?
It’s time for our infrequent and irregular Ask A Smart Guy segment. Let’s start with this comment someone recently posted on the site.
I have been an aspiring writer for five++ years, and still cannot find a method that works for me. Every time I start a story a new story idea pops into my head. The new story idea will nag me to death, until I give the idea some attention. I have thousands of introductions to show for it.

Martinez on Martinez
The A stands for Awesome. Â Let’s just be clear on that.
Hi. Â Been a while. Â Still working on finishing my current manuscript, but I can’t stay away. Â It’s not fair to you, my adoring public. Â You guys are my bread and butter, so I’m setting aside the manuscript for a second and posting something because I know how much you look forward to me enriching your lives with my wit, humor, and dinobot references. Â Although in this post, I will endeavor to keep dinobot references to a minimum because “Me, Grimlock, love challenge!”
Damn. Â So close.

Famous Mummy Fighters and The Women Who Love Them
Haven’t been around in a while, gang. Sorry about that. But been busy on my latest manuscript and life and all that jazz. I’m engaged, just in case anyone out there who might care doesn’t know about it. Getting married by the end of the year. I’d say good-bye to my wild, swingin’ bachelor days, but I never actually had any of those. But you’re not here to read about my personal life, are you? If so, I can only estimate your level of boredom to be at yellow alert. Go buy a Nintendo DS or some juggling balls or something already if this is the case.

Opinions Vary
Been a while. You know how the holidays are. Plus, I have my newest manuscript to work on, but blogging is part of my job. And I know how you rely on me to fill your lives with joy and / or wisdom. So here I am.
Recently, I read a pair of articles. The first article was about how the writer didn’t like Doctor Who. The second article suggested that people who don’t like Doctor Who should just not watch it and stop complaining about it.

Yet Another Long Ghost Hunting Inspired Post
Wow. I sat down just to write a short blog entry and ended up going crazy. In brief, this started out as a post about ghost hunting and self-deception and then somewhere along the way got out of control. But I wrote it, and I think it’s interesting, and along being an award-winning, internationally renowned novelologist & board game afficianado, I’m a big skeptic, which is somewhat odd for a human being in general and a fantasy novelist in particular.
Bottom Line:  I wasted way too much time writing this to just let it go. So maybe if you’re really bored, you can read it. Or not.  It’s your call.

An Obnoxious Rant
And we’re back…again. Â Hopefully for good. Â My buddy and esteemed webmaster, Adam, was having some trouble with his new carrier or server or whatever the hell they call it. Â Don’t ask me. Â I’m just the guy who makes stuff up for a living. Â Anyway, I generally avoid science fiction, so why don’t we say that the magical ether faeries that make the internet work have been fired and replaced and everything is good again.
This post is just a test. Â Nothing really important to say right now. Â As if I have anything important to say most of the time.
