I’m very much a creature of habit, which it comes to writing. I get up around 5, 5:15, when it’s still dark out. At the moment, I’m working on something new, so I’ll pull out the notebook and write for a few hours until the kids get up. Or I *would*, but the little monsters…

TLDR: Watch this series of videos if you, like me, are obsessed with the theory of time. Otherwise, read on if you want some history on my early novel-writing efforts and more background on Butterfly, a novel. So a very long time ago I was a graduate from a mostly prestigious college with a degree…

So Butterfly, a novel is about more than just hockey and people beating each other, and ultimately themselves, senseless. It’s also about Old Sturbridge Village, a 19th century New England village. Anybody who grew up in Central Massachusetts in the 80s probably visited the Village three, four, a dozen times on school field trips. Well, if you’re…

The Columbus Dispatch broke Nathan Horton’s story first, but it’s been spread around a few places and added to, most recently by The Hockey News – “Former teammate Marc Savard feels Nathan Horton’s pain.” You can only hope Horton makes the right decision, whatever that might be, but it breaks your heart to see — this…

Charles Pierce has an addition to the literature on athletes and concussions with an article on one of my favorite active players, Patrice Bergeron. I always enjoyed Pierce’s columns for the Boston Herald and his work for the Globe and would seek him out — he’s a fellow Worcesterite*, Saint John’s Pioneer. After all Patrice…

Butterfly, a novel is a book. It comes with words for reading and very few pictures, if any. When one of my first readers gave me feedback one of their comments was “I can easily see this being a movie, and I know exactly the soundtrack!” Well, the book is hardly a book, yet, so let’s…

Yet Another Update:Â The nearly always excellent Chad Finn has a write up of the Bobby Robins NHL experience last night. Update: I should have included a link to one of the first profiles on Bobby Robins to come out since he’s made the big club, by Dan Cagen in the MetroWest Daily News – “A…

As I’ve said before, these guys are on fire. The Supertart kids have launched a brand new social network, my own personal author scoreboard, and now they’ve shipped a little project we worked on together back in the Spring a few years ago. It’s called the Subliminal Signal Detector and it’s based on a passage…

Those damn cute kids at Supertart.com have done it again. They’ve launched a social network, and now they’re dipping into the Author Scoreboard market, I suppose. These are, yes it’s true, my current stats, with regards to queries sent out, responses I’ve received, and responses IÂ haven’t received. I’m not quite sure how it works that…

Perhaps inspired by Ello and the rise of a myriad of alternative social networks which promise to right all the wrongs of the previous generation of social networks, my buddies and bunch of scamps at Supertart.com (inventors of the Price of Tea in China calculator) have launched their own social network. It’s likely going to be…
