Posted on January 12, 2019 by Charles Yallowitz

Does 2019 feel any different than 2018?  Not really since everything from last year has basically carried over.  It would be nice if the ball dropping in Times Square set off a spell that gave everyone a clean slate in … Continue reading →

Plans for 2019 . . . Not As Deep As I’d Hoped

Bring it, 2019!

Posted on December 31, 2018 by Charles Yallowitz

I was going to do a big post thinking back about this year.  Honestly, it started off messy and continued on that route.  Anxiety issues, semi-retirement from being an author, and a bunch of personal disasters.  I feel pretty thoroughly … Continue reading →

Final Goals of 2018 . . . And Beyond?

Posted on December 29, 2018 by Charles Yallowitz

This year has been really rough for a variety of reasons.  Sales plunged into the dumpster and ignited.  War of Nytefall didn’t really take off.  Personal stuff went and still is going haywire.  It started with my son being terrified of … Continue reading →

Gyah! Where Did My Cursor Go?

Posted on December 15, 2018 by Charles Yallowitz

Seriously, I hit one button on my laptop and my cursor shot off to the right like it remembered that it left the stove on . . . for the last week.  It’s back now, but I don’t trust the … Continue reading →

2018 Ends with a Crumble

Posted on December 1, 2018 by Charles Yallowitz

I don’t think I can pick a song that can work with all this.  (I’ll grab one anyway.)  Honestly, I don’t even know how to write this post.  The job is going fine and I haven’t done any writing.  Those … Continue reading →

I Really Should Have Learned to Juggle

Posted on November 24, 2018 by Charles Yallowitz

This post is going up late because I’ve been running around today.  Things didn’t go as planned with extra errands, traffic, my son deciding to stay home instead of shopping with my wife, and laundry.  I’m still at the beginning … Continue reading →

Relaxing with Writing

Posted on November 19, 2018 by Charles Yallowitz

Full confession:  I get irritable and depressed if I go for 3 days without writing.  It doesn’t have to be much.  A few notes about a character or idea.  Maybe outlining a chapter or two when I have a few … Continue reading →
