Brief insights into my writing world. |
|
I started my blog in June 2016, intending to have a place to get my stories in the hands of readers. I started with one follower -- my wife. I post a daily quote, as well as short stories and vignettes. Alas, current events pull my attention and I've added current events to the mix. You can find my Tavern Tales at: https://jjshaun.com/ Enjoy! |
| Tomorrow is the beginning of LGBTQ+ Pride Month. I’m sure some of you are asking: “Why do the queers get a month of recognition?” Well, let me tell you a story… ~~~ Read the full post at Blast from the Past: Bridging the Gap, Part Two |
| When I worked at the Rocky Mountain Collegian back in the day, I spent two years with the opinion desk writing a column I called ‘Bridging the Gap.’ In those days, I was considered a ‘non-traditional’ student because I was older than the average person in most of my classes.

| When I attended Colorado State University (CSU) many moons ago, I chose the ‘Journalism and Technical Communications’ (J&TC) major because I intended to transfer my electronics technician knowledge into writing usable documents—the ones I’d used in the Navy were obviously written by engineers speaking Engineering, not Technician. That career path began in my second command in which I learned to write not only updated and simplified calibration procedures, I also helped install and write the user, repair, and admin manuals for the very first local area network (LAN) laid in the divisional spaces. ~~~ Read the post at Blast From the Past: University Days |
| I originally posted this on Mother’s Day 2019. To say life has changed since I originally posted this would be an understatement. Despite the hardships of the last ten years, life is still good. Happy Mother’s Day ~~~ Read the post at Blast from the Past: Happy Mother’s Day |
| I’ve found Lorielei a fascinating person. She started out as a character study of a someone set in their ways, reflecting on a rich, fulfilling life, and ready to settle into her closing chapters. What you’ve read so far, is the first draft of a chapter, maybe two. Loriel, Argaron, and company turned into characters with a mission, and now they won’t leave me alone—Loriel in particular. (She has a way of letting her opinion known.) A full outline is forming in my mind, yet to bloom into fruition. ~~~ Read the post at To Be Continued |

, but my laptop's running 10. I suppose I should do something about it... but I didn't earn those Procrastination MBs by taking the bull by the horns (which, to be honest, sounds more than a little dangerous).
