Sci-Fi, Writing with Heart, Time, and what newbie writers need.

I dilly. I dally. Me, on Monday (4 days ago…) “Yeah, I think I’ll be done by the end of the weekend.” Me, today, Friday, 4 days later “No. Not so much. I don’t know what I was on when I said that.” Here are a few random things that have occurred to me lately… [...]

All hail our GIANT ANT OVERLORDS!

I’ve been in re-write hell for … ohhhh… 3 months now. With the year nearly half-gone, I’ve only completed one script, THE DISCIPLE, which, truth-be-told, was half-written the previous year.

Sorrow for another’s good.

The Disciple is eating my lunch. Well, that and the lack of sleep… Well, the lack of sleep, the drugs, the pain… OK OK OK… wait. The lack of sleep, the drugs, the pain, and the fact that I’m not bought in. So, with my pile of ailments, I try to press forward. It occurs [...]

I’m back! Sort of…

Ok… so not my best end of  year, medically. Thanksgiving week I had both my knees ‘scoped. Christmas week I had my right shoulder ‘scoped. Yeeee-ow! The shoulder, she’s a screamin’  All sorts of pain. Oh the suffering… the sweet, sweet suffering. The shoulder hurts about 100 times worse than the knees. Apparently, and I’m [...]
