According to Wikipedia, the 16th President of the United States was the son of a farmer and carpenter who went into the practice of law and later entered politics, prompted at least in part by the ongoing presence of slavery in the country. He had a talent for writing speeches and legislation, struggled to keep… Continue reading Movie Review: Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Flash Fiction: Mutter
Captured by Matt Blaze For the Terribleminds challenge . Choices are listed after the story. The catacombs beneath the Mütter Museum stretched out for miles beneath the city. Between the sewer systems and the tunnels of the capitol’s mass transit system was a subterranean world few entered of their own volition. In fact, it was… Continue reading Flash Fiction: Mutter
Quick Update
This week’s Flash Fiction is getting pushed until tomorrow. I apologize for the delay! Things got a hectic over the weekend and I was left with little time to concentrate on writing. I’ll be making up for it tonight. Somebody put the coffee on.
Writer Report: Goals and Targets
I’ve been dropping words here and there into Cold Streets this week. I have the feeling that I’m reaching the top of the hill, and that in a couple hundred words, things are just going to take off. Moreso than the first novella, this one is taking its time getting to really juicy peril, and… Continue reading Writer Report: Goals and Targets
Early Adoption, Preorders, and the PS4
Courtesy The Escapist Last night saw the big announcement and unveiling of Sony’s next generation of console, the PlayStation 4. Actually, ‘unveiling’ is a misnomer, as the console itself was a no-show. The crowd in the room and people who managed to watch the stream got a whole bunch of specs for the new device,… Continue reading Early Adoption, Preorders, and the PS4
Game Review: Journey
I would be one of the first people to stand on rooftops to declare video games as a legitimate form of art. They convey stories in a way not possible in books, music, cinema, or the stage. They combine many forms of media into a singular experience to entertain and engage. Until now, there have… Continue reading Game Review: Journey
Success is Repetition
If you’re anything like me, you saw Chuck’s post on the Authorial Sludgebody yesterday and resolved to follow his beardy, foul-mouthed example: pick up the pace on exercise and more closely monitor diet. Great! You might have even hit certain goals, like getting in an entire hour of exercise (be it all at once or… Continue reading Success is Repetition
Flash Fiction: The Akubra
For the Terribleminds challenge, Write What You Know, I decided to both fictionalize and sensationalize the car crash I was in. It’s funny how your brain starts click on after it’s been smacked around. First thing I get is a smell. Gasoline, or something more potent. Imagine that smell you can’t get off your fingers… Continue reading Flash Fiction: The Akubra
Writer Report: Self-Reflection
Courtesy Floating Robes In addition to Cold Streets, I’ve been handed what amounts to a writing assignment for work. Unfortunately, I’m not interviewing anybody cool in the industry or crafting an expose on something juicy, I’m writing about myself. It’s self-evaluation time around the office, and it turns out that ‘myself’ is one of the… Continue reading Writer Report: Self-Reflection
Space Shooters Return
“War. War has changed.” It’s been a while since I’ve played Tribes: Ascend. While I still think the skiing movement mechanic and the unique weapons make it fun in the middle of the game, some of the periphery aspects of the game and its business model left me feeling sour. It’s hard to stay invested… Continue reading Space Shooters Return
