My Current Project - The Pirate Story

With the holidays just about over, I am on to my next project, which I have mentioned here before. I am currently working on a short story that I hope to submit to Shimmer magazine for their Pirate themed issue. Well, I finally have a pretty strong idea (in my mind) for my story and [...]

Done with Travel

I’m finally done with my holiday travel today and should be back to posting here regularly soon.  I was able to see pretty much everybody from my family for the holidays, so that is nice.  It will be great to sleep in my own house tonight, though, and hopefully our daughter will sleep better.  She [...]

Stephen King - Comic Books based on Dark Tower

Apparently, Stephen King’s Dark Tower novels are being adapted to comic book form. This is excellent news for me, as I will surely pick them up. USA Today had a quick interview with the author who discusses his involvement with the comics and “Turds of Steel”. Check it out Stephen King fans.

Sick Again

Thanks everyone for the feedback on yesterday’s post.  I needed to get that out.  I am home with a sick family and won’t have time for a proper post.  I should be back tomorrow.

My Inner Critic is Killing Me

I have to admit that I am currently very frustrated with my writing and my inner critic seems to be winning. First of all, I am disappointed with yesterday’s post on this blog. I think the idea was good, but I felt all tongue-tied(keyboard-tied?) trying to write the thing and I’m afraid the [...]
