I've got another old poem for you to enjoy. I wrote it for a poetry class I was taking. It was just for extra credit and it allowed me to flesh out my writing skills on a small scale. I think it helped me start thinking about creativity in the writing process. I will admit … Continue reading And Now For Another Poem
I've been working on my book, Red Star Sheriff, for the last year and a half and I'm pleased to say, proud even, that my third draft is going along smoothly. I've been tightening up plot elements and reveling in how much more life my characters are taking on. The story is becoming stronger and … Continue reading The State Of My Latest Draft
Once upon a time, I used to write poems. I've seen a lot of people on here sharing their own poems and I started thinking, 'maybe I should share some of mine.' So, that's what I'm going to do. Starting now, every so often I'm going to put up one of my old poems. Let's … Continue reading I Used To Write Poems
Over the last half a year I've been reading a lot of other writer's works. I have a method I like to employ when critiquing a work of literature (I wrote about that last month and what it means to be a critiquer, which you can check out here: https://cosmicfantasies.com/2019/02/14/advice-for-those-critters-out-there-who-want-to-give-better-critiques/). What I focus on is … Continue reading Beta Reading For Someone Can Be A Challenge
I decided to go ahead and changed my page layout here. I thought it was about time to give it a new look. What do you think? Does it work? Clearly, I'm not upgrading my subscription just yet. Maybe next year. Trying to get all of my bills under control and then I'll look into … Continue reading Brand New Layout!
It's been just over a year since I started my new book Red Star Sheriff. By no means was it my first, of course. I've written several books. There was: Left Of Midnight, Mass Effect 3 ReImagined, and several failed projects that I have yet to finish; Cosmic Soup 4 The Superheroic Soul and Destiny: … Continue reading One Year Ago-I Started My New Book
You know, I've been absent from here over the holidays. Mostly this is because life has just been so all engulfing for me and I just didn't know what I wanted to post on this site. But, I've been thinking lately, I'd like to get more into the act of writing. I'm thinking of focusing … Continue reading The Focus Of This Blog
Up until yesterday, I was a member of Scribophile, an online writing site where you post your work up on your own page to gain feedback from other readers. I must say, I wasn't too hopeful about the site when I started. Mostly because I was once a member of Fanstory.com and several Facebook Writers … Continue reading My Experiences With Online Writers Groups
I'm about to say something unpopular. I'm not one to hold my thoughts in, and I'm not going to start now. I kind of want to address a little blurb that's been making its Facebook rounds the last week or so: 'If you don't vote, you can't complain.' And, I've never been one who agreed … Continue reading NONVOTERS ARE IMPORTANT TO HEAR TOO
I've been looking around the web, trying to find a site that maybe I can get some feedback through. I came back to that ole Scribophile site. I was there for a bit. But, like Fanstory, they suffer from a similar experience: people who are only concerned with HOW you can sell a story. And … Continue reading Why Writing Your ‘Perfect’ Novel Is Hard
