You know, I wondered if I should have taken a 2-week blog break just to make sure the book got done this week. But by last Thursday evening I was having major ‘ooh, shiny!’ moments and Saturday was a slog of […]

If you’ve been paying attention to the Facebook Fan Page (have you liked us, yet?) you already know both my pieces of big news.

First: Monday morning I turned in the files for the front and back covers to the […]

I know 48 pages doesn’t seem like much of a jump compared to last week’s progress, but those 48 pages were hard-won and it still puts us at 91.2% complete, which is nothing to sneeze at!

Thursday evening […]

Quite the jump there, yes?

If you’ve been following along on the Facebook Fan Page, you’ve watched the page total rise slowly but surely as the week has gone on. Major increases happen whenever I get to a […]

Or, in other words, the introduction is all-but finished being laid out and, yes, all the required book elements stretched that bad-boy out to 24 pages so far!

I figure there’s an excellent chance we’ll meet […]

It’ll be like NaNoWriMo or ScriptFrenzy! all over again! Only, you know, instead of hurtling through a massive project in 30 days I’ve done it in *ahem* 2 years and 3 months.

But I’m hardly despairing, because, […]

That would be my oh-so-scientific unit of measurement when it comes to progress on the book.

As expected, the parade and fun stuff wore. us. out. on Saturday. So much so that when we finally got home and sat […]

Did you notice the site was down, again, this weekend?

Not a server failure, this time, but a no-good, dirty, rotten, scoundrel of a hack that invaded my sites (all of ‘em) with junk sites that made me look […]

Back when I was just floating this idea out into the universe via the Kickstarter, I did something very brave (for me!) and approached several sets of strangers to ask if they’d like me to come on their podcasts […]

So…

Here with the usual Wednesday progress report and I can’t decide if where I’m at is good or not.

So.

I like that word.

So, what?

Okay, enough, get on with it.

This weekend I finished the […]

It was 2006-ish and I was conducting some incredibly unscientific, random comics research.

I’d been reading webcomics for a while by then, but no print comics. I’d read the Scott McCloud trio of Understanding […]

Wow, Monday came a little sooner than I really wanted it to. Granted, it’s a good bet that’s true many weeks for many people. Still, I figure you wouldn’t mind a picture post too much, would you?

So here’s the […]

No, I haven’t run out of ideas, these little life-savers were some of the first things I thought of for this series but I put them at the end–well, I don’t know why, that’s just where the fell.

One of the […]

Sometimes it really is the little things that make being in the kitchen that much easier.

Measuring cups tend to be big, hard to miss items that stand out in even the most cluttered kitchen drawer. Measuring […]

Yes, really.

Wooden tools, be it spoons or cutting boards, in the kitchen always sound a little… off at first. Usually the thought it that wood is so porous so is tough to get clean, yadda yadda etc. etc. […]

A fitting start considering it is Pi Day, and all.

Due to some unforseen curveballs this past week, pages have yet to coalesce for Raiding Party just yet. However! It was the perfect time to do some rather […]

Before you think to yourself, “mandolin’s are so 10 years ago, it’s all about the ukulele now,” I’m not talking about this mandolin in the kitchen

I’m talking about this kind of mandolin for the kitchen
