I have been writing since college-mostly fictional romps: short stories, partially finished novels, and even one micro-story

A “Stop Sign” Moment: Happy Birthday, Fletch.

As we move through this thing called “Life” faster and faster, days like hours, months like days, and years disappearing almost before we’ve realized they began, there are always “stop sign” moments. No matter where you are in your personal situation, no matter how healthy (or otherwise), regardless of how fast that motor-scooter is zipping [...]

I’m Baaaaaack

Just a quick blog snippet—hmm, I think a “snippet” would actually be considered a short piece snipped from an existing blog. This is more of a really short blog. No, too short (and lacking too much substance) to actually be considered a blog. Tell you what: if “snippet” isn’t close enough, have at it, let [...]

My Dad, The Writer (Who Knew?)

I’ve tried not to make a big thing about reaching the age my father died and that his father survived heart attack number one. Does such karmic, heredity reality give one pause? Sure. But I had a nuclear stress test done by a cardiologist a couple years ago (before losing 120+ pounds), and passed with [...]

My Box Set Co-Writer Simon Jenner!

When I was asked to join a boxed-set collaboration, I must admit I felt trepidation at first, but when I saw the lineup of writers, I was more than happy to participate; I was honored. All four writers with whom I would be collaborating are successful, prolific, and talented writers. What writer would not join [...]

Amazon Review Process Does NOT Protect Your Trademark

A few weeks ago I received some emails from a person who was clearly not lucid. The person was also tweeting gibberish with my @rsguthrie name in the tweets. I never responded to him, naturally hoping the delusion would solve itself. There was nothing threatening or dangerous in the posts or emails, so I assumed [...]

Who Devalued Our Work?

One of the things I have been working to learn in my copious spare time is web design. No, I’m not yet attempting to build pages (although if you are just starting out and don’t have the $$ for a top-tier professional, comment here and I will email you and see if we can work [...]

The Internet: Also A Place For Anonymous Abuse

It’s funny when I think back on the first days of the Internet, for me. You see, that last part is really important because the “Internet” has been around a lot longer than most people think. The large, interconnection of nodes (or computers) began as a government project called ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network)—eventually, [...]
