Let me make this quick and to the point: I hate the idea of abortions. Yet, I also hate the idea of forcing a woman to be a brood mare. We are NOT breeding human beings against their will. We should be making it easier for people to make viable decisions in their lives including: … Continue reading Let Me Just Slap This Down Here…

Who Is Your Audience?
The question for any writer seems to always be, 'Who is your audience?' And the truth is, I have no idea. Sure, it works out well for nonfiction writers on discovering who their general audiences are (because, as it happens to be, most nonfiction writers write towards a certain group of people). I, however, do … Continue reading Who Is Your Audience?
The Corona Virus Isn’t Giving Up The Ghost (But It Sure Is Making Life Difficult To Live In)
I haven't written anything in like a month. Every time I think that I might, I get sidetracked by life demanding every little bit of my attention. My wife is pregnant and we're expecting a son come December. Sweetness. However, that means my time is devoted to working for that ever loving green dollar that … Continue reading The Corona Virus Isn’t Giving Up The Ghost (But It Sure Is Making Life Difficult To Live In)
These Are Strange Days
So, it's been a few months since I last posted. I believe March was the last time and that was when I decided to release my novel early due to the looming Coronavirus outbreak. And here we are, two months into this chaotic pandemic and it doesn't look like it'll truly be letting up anytime … Continue reading These Are Strange Days
Doin’ it yourself…
You know, it's pretty cool seeing your work printed up in book form. Even if it is just self published and you know you're the only one who'll ever see it and/or read it. Oh well. I'm still trying to find an agent for my Red Star Sheriff book, but I can content myself with … Continue reading Doin’ it yourself…
Another Year Come And Gone
Here it is, the end of November 2019. I haven't posted anything yet this month and I suppose this will be one of the last few posts of the year. Mostly, there's just too much to do to prepare for the holidays. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years... Christmas shopping to be done and finished! I'm proud … Continue reading Another Year Come And Gone
NOVEL INTRO REVISITED: WHICH WORKS BETTER AND WHY?
So I'm rewriting chapter one of my novel, Red Star Sheriff, and I'm curious, which opener do you think works better? The original? Or the rework? I'm trying to be more descriptive but I'm curious if a shorter, more into it sequence is preferable versus the more visually descriptive work. If you have an opinion, … Continue reading NOVEL INTRO REVISITED: WHICH WORKS BETTER AND WHY?
THE CASE FOR THE LAST JEDI: A STAR WARS STORY (DISCUSSION)
BEFORE WE GET too far into this, let me just say this now and profusely, this will be getting into heavy spoilers for Star Wars The Last Jedi. If you have yet to see it (and if you are still interested in seeing it given the controversial nature of the film) then you should run … Continue reading THE CASE FOR THE LAST JEDI: A STAR WARS STORY (DISCUSSION)
ALL YOU FANS CAN BITE ME! I’M A CHILD OF THE 80’S!!
Jesus...I am SUCH a child of the 80s. I was just watching a video on Youtube that I completely disagreed with. It was ragging on Mass Effect Andromeda for...I don't know, reasons I guess. And it dawned on me, holy shit, we were so much better off in the 80s. We VALUED what entertainment was. … Continue reading ALL YOU FANS CAN BITE ME! I’M A CHILD OF THE 80’S!!
