A Storied Career’s Pacific Northwest Headquarters
Regular readers know I am spending the summer (and into October) in gorgeous Kettle Falls, WA. What I may not have mentioned is that we’re living in an RV while building our house here. The house will not be habitable until fall at the earliest. As you might imagine, RV … Continue reading
It Finally Happened ….
… I broke my streak of blogging 7 days a week that I have kept up since Feb. 1, 2008. Technically you’ll see an entry for yesterday, but it’s the daily literary quote that has run for a long time in this space; I freshen the date periodically so it … Continue reading
New Question on Storytelling and Social Media on 1-Question Survey

Purists can uncover one entry (sometime in Aug. 2008) that I placed back into draft status because I … Continue reading

An additional two dozen gurus have committed to providing responses to my questions, but I’m committed to remaining flexible with deadlines since I know everyone is busy. And 21 must be … Continue reading

Introducing Redesign and Upgrade
Ta-da! A Storied Career has been redesigned and upgraded to Movable Type 4.1. It has been a long, hard, and not cheap road to get this done. Movable Type is not the easiest platform to work with, but for some reason I’ve felt compelled to stick with it. A Storied … Continue reading
