So Much – Published Book

March 21, 2023 by Mike Lambson

So much has happened over the years since I last posted. We all know the pandemic and the craziness with the economy, but my life has been interesting for sure. My children are growing well and we even hosted an exchange student from Japan up until the pandemic lockdowns sent her home. I also graduated with a B.S. in Information Technology Management. Some have asked what this degree is for and the best explanation along with my experience is a Business or Systems Architect.

On the bright side I have been able to publish a simple but important tool; an operations log book is a necessary tool for infrastructure. While not terribly difficult or complex, this gave me experience in the process of publishing anything. Also, I feel great about being able to supply aid to many various industries. If you need such a book, please check it out here.

Life is still nuts as we all know, but I’m feeling like I’ll get back to serious writing soon. It’s about being in the right state of mind to put the story to the page without forcing something subpar. My main character Daylan needs to have his story told, and soon. Well, I guess I’ll keep you posted… *smirk*

Major Writing Delay

July 20, 2018 by Mike Lambson

I am sorry to post that there is a major delay in my progress. I haven’t abandoned my book series, or writing in general, but must take a hiatus due to the conflicts of 50 hour work week and full time school credits. Know that I haven’t abandoned writing altogether, and do make some minor notes here and there. When I have finished my degree, which will be about two years from now, I will once again return, finish, and publish my book and subsequent sequels. Until then, I bid you all, adieu.

Update October 2013

October 16, 2013 by Mike Lambson

So here I am.

Yep, I’m actually here writing on this blog.

No, you aren’t just seeing things, I’m actually writing this…

Why has it taken so long for an update? Anything? …because I’ve been busy with life, that’s why.

So on with the update…

I’ve made some incredible progress, despite the slow nature of writing, working, moving, and attending school. I just finished outlining an important scene yesterday, that will bring a major twist to the plot of the story.

I’ve mostly been working on structure and outline the last few months. Due to the nature of writing a large saga, you must consider later installments in the first book. At least, in my case you do. I have the ending all planned, but to get there and keep things flowing in a realistic manner, I must keep things correlated. Some times I envy the seat-of-the-pants style writers…

Poll: What would you do?

Love’s Tale

March 14, 2013 by Mike Lambson

This, I wrote for my wife,
and I thought someone might
appreciate it. It's probably a 
bit cheesy and corny, but I'll
post it anyway. So, enjoy.

Liebster Award

February 22, 2013 by Mike Lambson

liebsteraward

I have been nominated for the Leibster Award! Thanks to fellow author Vanessa Wester for the nomination. (http://vanessawesterwriter.wordpress.com/)

As required by the Liebster nominee, I’ve pasted the Liebster award in my blog post and will provide a link back to the nominator’s blog. Next, I need to list 11 random facts about me, then answer the 11 questions asked by the person who nominated me.

Once that’s done, I then proceed to nominate 11 bloggers to follow after me and come up with 11 new questions for them. I post everything on my blog with the hope of bringing new readers to it.

Ok, so now I give 11 facts about myself. Here we go:

1. I’m a dork! –No really, my wife says so all the time. 🙂

2. I love to write and share my ideas, except by hand. I hate writing by hand…go figure.

3. I am a big fan of Robert Jordan and his Wheel of Time series. R.I.P. Mr. Jordan.

4. I love fantasy, science fiction, and even some paranormal stuff; I haven’t read the twilight series.

5. I love rock climbing. (although I haven’t done it for so long I’d fail at it now)

6. I like some of the classic manly things like fishing, hunting, and boating.

7. I commute 150 miles, round-trip, to work 40+ hours each week, and I’m also a student pursuing my degree. I almost have no time to sleep. 😉

8. I dream of writing an epic fantasy on par with Tolkien, Jordan, and others.

9. I read scientific periodicals.

10. I love sushi.

11. I don’t like big crowds.

Vanessa’s Questions:

1. What is your proudest achievement to date?

My proudest achievement would be: Somehow, getting my wife to agree to marry me. I still don’t know how that one worked.

2. Do you think family is important?

Yes, I think the family is one of the most important aspects to any society, in fact I would say that the family is the foundation on which society is built.

3. When you were a teenager, what was your ideal job?

When I was a teenager, my ideal job would have been to be a video game tester or race car driver.

4. Who is your role model?

My dad really, is one of my biggest role models.

5. Do you think being competitive is a good quality?

People need competition to stretch and grow, it is part of life. If competition is fair then yes I think being competitive is a good quality.

6. Where would you like to live if given the choice?

This one is hard, but if money were no issue than I’d take a tropical island.

7. Is money important?

Money is important as a medium of exchange, but otherwise no.

8. Music, TV or theatre?

I’ll take music please.

9. Do you feel strongly about anything?

Yes I feel very strongly about many things. I.E. Love, evil people, stupid politicians (oxymoron LOL), real accomplishment, and beautiful landscapes are just a few things I am passionate about.

10. Do you give up your time for others, i.e. volunteer?

Yes I do, although lately I have had almost no extra time to spend – full time work and school makes for very little. What’s this thing you call time?

11. Name an important historic event that means something to you.

The moon landing is huge in terms of dreams and accomplishment. It tells me that if I pursue with everything I have, that I may very well hit my target goals. “Aim for the stars and you may hit the moon.”
