An Odd Man’s Odyssey
See the tales of an author who can be a little “different,”
and his attempts to see the world even more differently!
Exploring the steep path of a writer’s adventure
Welcome to my unique writer’s blog, An Odd Man’s Odyssey!
I want to share my latest adventures, writing news, and wandering odd thoughts,
as I travel on the odyssey of an author and storyteller.
Welcome to the place where every day is an adventure!

New updates from
the Odd Odyssey!

Bold Words
Little Writer
Dear reader, I want to be bold.
Captain Random is a nickname I’ve had for years now.
I don’t know how that nickname sounds to most people, but to me it’s something that has a shifting meaning. At times loud, and other times insightful. Those are both things I want to be, but there is one more thing that I think this name always has that I wish I had a little more of: courage and boldness.
As many of you know…

June 2026
There are a lot of things that I want to be as a writer, and that I think are good for new writers to be. The characteristic I think I’d like to grow in most in this season of my life is Boldness.
This month I want to talk about why being Bold is so important to me.

May 2026
April 14th came and went this past month, meaning that more than a year has passed since my first book, All We Have to Remember, was first published.
I’ve learned a lot in this year, some were easy lessons, some were not. The example of the latter that comes to mind is…

The Rhythm of the Writing Quill
April 2026
I figured I’d write to you about a more fun part of my writing adventure, music!
If you think my odyssey is odd, just wait until you hear about my playlist. Some authors like to listen to certain types of music that match either their genre or the mood of their scene. In part, I do that too. However…

Focus, the art of Now and Forever
February 2026
Once again your Odd Man wanders a bit to talk about the nature of focus.
What is it we should focus on both as authors and as people with all the distractionws nowadays?
Want to know?
Hint: It’s in the title

January 2026
We’re in 2026, and now it’s time to choose what we’re going to do now?
Last year, I released two books andan audiobook (both of which are available using the links on my bookshelf page *wink*), and this year…

December 2025
While I have few quick and exciting updates to share, I want to talk about something else.
Instead of book and writing updates C.R. seems to stand for Captain Random this month because I want to talk of the nature of dreams!

October 2025
Writing and publishing my first book, that was the conquering of my first mountains.
Now, I can see that the mountain I’m about to climb isn’t like the last one. More than what I can see, however, it’s what I can’t see that bothers me…

Whoops, I guess it’s time for updates
September 2025
I kind of took the past month and a half off and fell into the trap of procrastination. It happens.
Still, this gives me a good time to give all of you updates on my upcoming projects.

August 2025
Dear Readers, how big is your world?
Do you measure it in feet, inches, kilometers, days of travel, or is it merely too big to imagine?
“C.R. this is an odd question. Also, why do you say ‘your world’ like you aren’t a part of it?”

Wondering of the
Wandering Wonder
July 2025
Many people think of an adventure as being driven by progress that is ever moving toward a goal, but true odysseys are not so straightforward. All along the way, we are slowed not only by obstacles but by the attraction of wandering wonder.

June 2025
On my writing Odyssey, now that I’m moving from publishing a book to selling and writing again, things are becoming a matter of once again walking in wide open spaces. You weren’t with me last time I was here, so let me describe this place to you.

A Wild Month of Winds and Wonders
May 2025
The odyssey of writing so far has been a mix of slow climbs and steady walks, but last month (April) was a month when your local author faced a few storms.

And so the Adventure Continues…
April 2025
Odysseys, dear readers, have many landmark moments and I’m approaching one now.
It’s April and that means this month is when I plan to release my first book.

February 2025
We’ve all heard the phrase “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” but this time from the Odyssey I want to talk about the times we try to convince others that the beauty we see is all there is to see at all.

January 2025
This latest post from the Odyssey is about the dangers of doubt that come with every new year and how they have affected me personally as an author.

Why Do People Climb Mountains?
December 2024
In this entry, we explore how the challenges of writing and publishing are like climbing a mountain. And why, if climbing a mountain is so hard, we face them anyways.
