Wednesday Writer: 7 Reasons Why Reviews Are Important

Wednesday, July 20, 2022Tuesday, July 19, 2022 ~ M.A. Kropp

You have all seen, heard, and gotten the emails. "You recently purchased XXX. Would you like to write a review?" Reviews are becoming increasingly important to sellers of all types in these days of online research for everything. Authors also depend on reviews to help get word out about their work. You have seen me … Continue reading Wednesday Writer: 7 Reasons Why Reviews Are Important

Rainy Days and Sundays

Monday, April 4, 2022Sunday, April 3, 2022 ~ M.A. Kropp ~ 2 Comments

Yep, it's another cloudy, gloomy, rainy day. At least, it's trending warmer again and that will continue for most of the week. We may even see some sun! And to top it all off, today is also colonoscopy prep day for me. Yay! But that does give me the chance to preach a bit. <soapbox>When … Continue reading Rainy Days and Sundays

Upside Down

Monday, March 21, 2022Saturday, March 19, 2022 ~ M.A. Kropp

Last week was a bit on the unsettled side. I had physical therapy twice and a second appointment with the orthopedic doctor also. It cut into things enough that the week felt off kilter all the way through. I'm working on adjusting to the new schedule since the PT sessions twice a week are going … Continue reading Upside Down

It’s Winter Again (Still?)

Monday, March 14, 2022Saturday, March 12, 2022 ~ M.A. Kropp ~ 4 Comments

March is such a fickle month. Last week, we had temps in the 50s and the 30s. Just a few days ago, it was 60 out there. Today, I am looking out the windows of my office at 23 degrees (that's F for those not in the US), wind, and multiple inches of snow. March … Continue reading It’s Winter Again (Still?)

And Just Like That, It’s November!

Monday, November 8, 2021 ~ M.A. Kropp

Sorry for the lack of post last Monday. The only excuse I have is that it was the start of NaNoWriMo and I didn't want to get behind on week one. As of the end of the week, I was about 39 words ahead of my personal schedule, so I was happy. No, 39 words … Continue reading And Just Like That, It’s November!

It’s a Local Thing

Monday, October 11, 2021Monday, October 11, 2021 ~ M.A. Kropp

On Saturday, we went to Spiedie Fest in BInghamton. Spie adies are a bit of a local thing here. It's chunks of marinated meat, originally lamb, but now made with pork and chicken also, grilled and served on slices of soft Italian bread. It's a summer thing that started in BInghamton, and isn't known too … Continue reading It’s a Local Thing

More Writing Getting Done

Monday, October 4, 2021Sunday, October 3, 2021 ~ M.A. Kropp

I have been able to get some steady work done on writing this week. That's a nice improvement from all of last year, where I got very little done. I have gotten through a first read-through and revision on all twenty-four of the short short stories. That was one of the big goals for this … Continue reading More Writing Getting Done

Miscellanea

Monday, May 17, 2021Sunday, May 16, 2021 ~ M.A. Kropp

A collection of things that have been going on around here of late: We lost my Mom in early May. She was 93, and had a stroke last August which she recovered from relatively well. She had some weakness, although she was walking a little. Her speech was slurred at times and she had trouble … Continue reading Miscellanea
