Hey, hey! I've been working on this arrangement of John Parr's "Man in Motion" for a bit now, and it's finally approved by...

This might be hard for some of you to believe, but there was a time in the not-too-distant past when no one had a cell phone. No one . Today, we can’t imagine our lives without them. We use them to pay bills, do banking, order dinner, make grocery lists, feed our egos by posting selfies for everything , and so much more. We even use our phones to date now. As such, it seems prudent that our phones should be kept safe, protected from hackers and thieves who would love to

“Incorrect password.” Those horrible, dreaded words. You’re logging into something you don’t use often, you think you remember the password but you’re just not sure, so you go for broke and . . . nope. You try your second guess and . . . nope. You try your third guess and . . . still nope. Now you have to reset your password, which just adds to the time and frustration, even more so when the app lets you know that it needs a minimum of ten characters, have a mix of upper- and

If you've come across this, then you probably just searched "How to be a writer." If you searched for that, then you probably saw advice such as, "Write every day," or "Read regularly." These are fine points. Reading regularly gives you an idea and feel for good writing, and practice always makes better. But the problem is that writing every day isn't helpful if you keep making the same mistakes over and over, and unless you're straight-up copying someone else's work (which i

Hey, everybody! I just wanted to call attention to a client of mine, Susan (S. E.) Davis. Susan and I have been working together for several years now, and it's been a real pleasure to watch her grow as an author and see where her imagination takes her. One of the series she's created - The Dacian Wildcat series - has been a particularly interesting bit of editing for me. In case you're unaware (as I was when we first started working together), the Roman Emperor Trajan invad

It was another Mother's Day. I thought of you. I won't be melodramatic and say it hasn't gotten easier - it has. The sting faded a long time ago. And, yes, it is easier. But it's still not always easy. I could use some advice, to be honest. You died before I had a chance to get married, or become a father. And, frankly, I don't know how to do it. I don't know how to be a good husband. I don't know how to raise a daughter. She's beautiful, by the way - your granddau

Defiance is on the rampage. So YouTube just update their Harassment Policies, and, to be honest, I can't imagine what the fuss is . I mean, they don't want people to physically threaten each other, they don't want people to post content that "repeatedly" insults people based on their race, sex, etc. (they don't exactly define "repeatedly," but I'm sure that ambiguity won't cause any problems). They are definitely taking a "harder line" with content that "insults someone bas
