A One Year Bloggy-versary
How’s that title for your SEO?

Writing In 2020 — All The Way To The Nuthouse
Happy New Year!
If you’re here on the east coast of these United States, this bloggy is posting smack dab at the stroke of midnight at the start of a new decade. There’s a 96 percent chance I’m sleeping through the festivities.
NaNoWriMo For The Win — How I Wrote An Obscene Amount Of Words In November
Welp, it’s December! The calendar proclaims it is so and I’ve never been one to argue with time. Except for that one time when I “hour shamed” 59 minutes. Another story, another… time.
Ron Dean's NaNoWriMo Adventure — Blood and Promises
It has ended. Blood has been spilled. Promises fulfilled. Final word count: 50,632
NaNoWriMo Update Two
I wrote 4,000 words today.
Well, not today today. I mean, yeah it’s present day today here where I live and breathe, but when I post this bloggy, today will be two whole days ago. So my 4k extravaganza is old news.
What have you done for me lately, word count?
NaNoWriMo — Update Number One
Hey, how’s it goin’?
Me? I’m entrenched in words and lovin’ it! This whole NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) thing is going pretty well.
How To NaNoWriMo Without Losing Your Ever Loving Mind

From Pantser to Plotter: The Surprising Magic of Outlining
I read a book a couple weeks ago. I know, right? How stoked am I to be reading books?! This book had a title and the title was … hold on, I want to get this right.
What’s The Deal With Kindle Countdown Deals?
You can buy the Kindle version of I Am Marcus Fox today and tomorrow for 99 cents. That’s like, less than a cup of coffee for Sally Struthers. How much does a cup of coffee cost? Like $76, right?
Skye Template In Flight
Well, I’ve done it. I’ve been bouncing back and forth and around the horn and through again between and upside out with these templates.
Of Trees And Infinite Space
Humans cannot fathom infinity. And yet, we can as we have a clearly defined word for it. It’s like when you think of what’s out there beyond the beyond. How far does space go, bud?
Half Year — Check Yer Goals
The calendar says we’re now in the second half of 2019. Really, time? Is that how you’re going to play it? Very well then, let’s reflect.
A Couple Interviews
I’m busy contemplating many things, including but not limited to marketing Marcus, finding time to draft new projects, figuring out how to present/possibly package said projects, reading and blogging Shakespeare, anticipating Frozen 2 with frosty breath (OMG it’s gonna be so good!)…
Marcus Has A New Face
Whoever said, “You’re only as good as your face” was a weasel dufus swinging his head against the loose barn door. Splurge for new hinges, dufus! And don’t skimp on the screws this time, neither!
A Thousand Words A Day
This is what a thousand words looks like. This is how it feels to be inside a thousand words. Welcome.
Writing Writing Sprints
“Back in my day,” wrote the old man who somehow got himself a bloggy, “we used to do a thing called freewriting.”
That’s fascinating, Grandpa! Tell us more!
Choosing the Right Email Marketing Provider
I’m currently in a 30-day trial period with a popular email service company called ConvertKit. It seems to be the proper choice of many successful indie authors, including Chris Fox, an extremely prolific author who, quite believably, is of no relation to Marcus.
