Fearlessly the Idiot Faced the Crowd

April 6, 2021April 6, 2021 / Todd Skaggs - Author / Leave a comment

Shifting from One of These Days....to today. Those of you that know me may know that I'm a fan of Pink Floyd. Well, I suppose now those who don't really know me also know that I'm a Pink Floyd fan. I never got to see them in concert (please don't bring that up around my … Continue reading Fearlessly the Idiot Faced the Crowd

Of Broken Hearts and LEGOs

March 27, 2021 / Todd Skaggs - Author / Leave a comment

If you came to this post via my Amazon Author Page, I'm going just apologize in advance. You may have been looking for some insight into how I come up with the stories I write or, if you are like my daughter and some friends, you may be looking for information about when I am … Continue reading Of Broken Hearts and LEGOs

Writers Block, POV, and the Opposite of Marginalized

March 16, 2021 / Todd Skaggs - Author / Leave a comment

March 21st is the release date of my next story, "Known Side Effects Include." This was one of the harder pieces I've written, and challenged me in ways I didn't quite expect when I signed up for the set. Set? Oh, yes. The short story is going to appear in an anthology that's out next … Continue reading Writers Block, POV, and the Opposite of Marginalized

Of Crosswords and Caffeine

February 23, 2021 / Todd Skaggs - Author / Leave a comment

It is almost 11PM on a school night, which simply means one of two things. One - I have to work tomorrow. Two - I have been up since 5:30-ish this morning...so...what's that...carry the one...something like 18 hours? Yeah. I went to bed at a decent time last night, 10:45. That is generally early from … Continue reading Of Crosswords and Caffeine

A Chip Off the Block

February 16, 2021 / Todd Skaggs - Author / Leave a comment

There are few topics of discussion off-limits to most writers when it comes to craft. There are several, however, that spark some passionate replies and opinions. One of these is the question of whether someone is a "Plotter," a "Pantser," or some weird hybrid of the two known as a "Plantser." For the record, when … Continue reading A Chip Off the Block

The Internet Lies and Baking Wore Me Out

December 20, 2020December 20, 2020 / Todd Skaggs - Author / Leave a comment

Or rather, Pinterest does. OK, OK, I guess 'lies' might be a bit strong. In a perfect world, of course you can follow the directions listed on Pinterest or some recipe site and get your cookies to look exactly like theirs. Happens all the time, right? Sure. At least I'm sure it does, for someone. … Continue reading The Internet Lies and Baking Wore Me Out

18 Clocks and a Remarkable Life Lived

December 7, 2020 / Todd Skaggs - Author / Leave a comment

Gramps was able to see places in the world that most only dream of. Apologies, readers and friends, if I haven't been my usually bubbly self on the book of face and other media of the social variety. To be honest, the last 23 hours have been an emotional roller coaster. Saturday morning was incredible. … Continue reading 18 Clocks and a Remarkable Life Lived

Getting Older and Giving Thanks

November 27, 2020 / Todd Skaggs - Author / Leave a comment

It's Thursday and it's the only Pandemic-Thanksgiving I've lived in my short 49 years on this planet. I'm sitting in a kitchen that is not in my house, but in a house that still feels like home to me. Today is a day when families in the United States traditionally gather and eat too much … Continue reading Getting Older and Giving Thanks

Failing NaNo – 4 Years and Counting

November 22, 2020 / Todd Skaggs - Author / Leave a comment

I looked, Dear Readers, and noted that the last time I saw fit to let the words fall from my brain bucket and onto these virtual pages was on the day that our nation typically celebrates its independence. That day now has a different, more special meaning for me, but that's not really what I'm … Continue reading Failing NaNo – 4 Years and Counting

Little White Lies

July 4, 2020 / Todd Skaggs - Author / 1 Comment

This may not be an easy post to read. It wasn't an easy post to write. Or at least, as I'm only three sentences in, I am certain that it won't be an easy post to write. You see, it's a post that is as much as reaction to something I've recently seen as it is … Continue reading Little White Lies
