Greetings and salutations, faithful reader! Welcome back to what, up to this point, was Story Time With Tim! Well, I've reached the end of my old stories. As such, I'm going to spend a few weeks putting up some poems I've yet to post up on here. However, rest assured, I do have some new, … Continue reading A Poem: Story Time With Tim ~ Surfing The Crimson Sea

Believe it or not, Yes, I’m still here
Wooo! I don't know how people manage to do it! I don't know how people manage to have a full time job (such as myself) and are able to keep up with a blog! I mean, I'm working on my book still so that's been keeping me fairly occupied. But to put daily work into … Continue reading Believe it or not, Yes, I’m still here
The State Of My Latest Draft
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
Beta Reading For Someone Can Be A Challenge
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
One Year Ago-I Started My New Book
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
The Focus Of This Blog
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
My Experiences With Online Writers Groups
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
NONVOTERS ARE IMPORTANT TO HEAR TOO
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
Why Writing Your ‘Perfect’ Novel Is Hard
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
It’s All Coming Together
I don't get on here as often as I'd like. Though, I guess the truth of the matter is, I don't always have a lot to say. Sure, I could rant and rave over political opinions and considerations (Our country is being destroyed by Agent Orange!). But, really, do I have the time and effort? … Continue reading It’s All Coming Together
