  • Is blogging about blogging really blogging?

    That is the question that haunts my dreams.  Okay, not really.  It is clear, however, that I am wasting my TypePad Pro account, since I have to posted anything since November.  Novemeber people!  That's, like, almost 9 months ago.  Some people that were not even pregnant the last time I posted are about to give…

  • Coming up: 600 word story – Waterlilies

    I would have to roll a 6 on the waterlilies theme, wouldn't I?  I'm rather curious myself to see what I come up with. …up with which I come(?) – Sometimes, it's okay to end a sentence with a preposition, it seems.

  • I rolled a ‘1’

    Therefore my next writing assignment for the 100 Themes Boot Camp will be 100 words (or so) about Dawn.  I'm thinking …poem.  We'll see what I can do. (Hopefully, today at some point)

  • 100 Themes Boot Camp – Day 2 – Power

    I realize, at this rate, it will take me two years to complete the 100TBC.  And you know what?  I don't really have a problem with that.  So without any further ado, here is my entry for day 2.  The theme is Power.: ———————————————————————- Something had been bothering Joe all night, eating at the back…

  • I think my dice are loaded…

    At least my D6 is.  I rolled another '3' today.  That means another 300 (or so) word story for the 100 Themes Boot Camp on DeviantArt.  Today's theme – power.  This should be fun!  I'll get back to you when I've got something.

  • Hi!

    So, according to XKCD, I am the least interesting man in the world. I will not, therefore, apologize for not posting much over the last few months.  I'm the one that pays for this site, dammit, not you.  Where do you get off, anyway, buddy?! Sorry.  Sorry.  I didn't mean to get abusive, it happens…

  • Plotting & Machine Writing

    As an “Evil Genius”, I am quite comfortable plotting my next scheme or the demise of my enemies, but I have the hardest time coming up with a plot for a story.  Premise?  No problem.  Characters? Check.  Background, Setting, etc.?  Yep. Conflict/Resolution/Character growth?  Umm… I kinda, sorta wish their was a “Sims” game for writing. …

  • It took me an hour to write, I figured it would take an hour to read

    errant: wandering; deviating from an appointed course, or from a direct path; roving. Courtesy of Dictionary.com Word of the Day First off, the irony is not lost on me, as a self-proclaimed writer that writes for about two weeks every year, and never finishes a piece. Errant. That’s me. Hmm. I just spent the last…

  • Words On A Page

    He was there, hunched over his laptop, sitting crossed-legged on his bed. All his life seemed to be leading up to this point. He had stayed up late the previous night reading articles from the 2007 Writer’s Market and researching agents. It seemed that he was entering into a larger world. He knew he could…
