When I get really serious about writing, when it’s “crunch time” for an assignment or I feel I really need to bang out some words on The Project, I head over to my corner. Like a carpenter’s workbench or a mechanic’s tool chest, my corner is a place I’ve set aside to work on writing… Continue reading Going To My Corner

Movies in 15 Minutes
Okay, ignore Vader in this one. I want to talk about Cleolinda‘s Movies in 15 Minutes. Here goes. *ahem* GO READ IT. Seriously. Why are you still here? I have nothing to say today. I have a complete and total lack of energy and the day’s not at all gone well. So go read something… Continue reading Movies in 15 Minutes
The Way To Her Heart
My wife likes chocolates, shoes and shiny jewelry as much as the next woman. But the truest way to her heart involves things far nerdier than such pedestrian items. See, I married a gamer. She carries dice in her purse, she knows the ins and outs of many character classes in a variety of games… Continue reading The Way To Her Heart
Plowing Forward
Get plot points vetted. Generate dramatis personae document. Work out rules of languages & magic. Write the damn thing (target word count:125k) Find a publisher. From all outward appearances, not much is happening around here. Apparently the region has been ‘paralyzed’ by the recent snowstorm. It’s gone by many names – “Snowmageddon”, “Snopocalypse”, “Snotorious B.I.G.”,… Continue reading Plowing Forward
There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Post
I know, I know, the original quote is “There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch.” I’m enough of a Heinlein buff to remember that. But I’m also aware of the fact that posting stuff on here requires an investment of time, and for most people, time is money. Just like money buys information,… Continue reading There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Post
Oh, Just End Already!
I’ve been playing Dragon Age: Origins when I’m not playing Star Trek Online. As much as I want to return to Mass Effect to prepare Shepard for the impending arrival of the sequel and write a review for Dragon Age, I think I should finish at least one play-through of the fantasy RPG first. The… Continue reading Oh, Just End Already!
Thinking Outside the Tube
Today’s update is going to be quick and dirty, folks. Let’s just dive right into my thought processes about how I’m wasting spending my free time. Last week I tried to put together a video supplement for my preview of Star Trek Online. Since Flash is the ‘new media’ platform with which I’m most familiar,… Continue reading Thinking Outside the Tube
Burned by Midnight Oil
This post is going to be somewhat short, which I know will raise a question of why I’m posting at all. Well, I like to keep what few readers I have current, and there’s also the fact that I need to vent at people who might possibly understand my frustration. You see, instead of that… Continue reading Burned by Midnight Oil
Roads Ahead
Whoo, boy. Trying to sort out exactly where I am at the moment and what’s coming next is proving to be difficult. The dayjob is ramping up along with everything else so time during the day to get a plan of action together is difficult to come by, since I have settled on a long-term… Continue reading Roads Ahead
Things to Come
With work kicked into high gear since the departure of two friends, this week’s IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! has unfortunately been delayed. I do, however, have some good news to share related to my nascent career as a writer. I responded to an advert from Polymancer Studios which said they were looking for writers and… Continue reading Things to Come
