So, I'm winding down to the end of this time in my life. For that reason, I haven't been too diligent about updating this blog (or, ya know, seeing friends); I've finally worked myself into a really productive writing schedule that's actually supporting multiple projects at the same time. And, it's seen me through probably... Continue Reading →
A Brand New… Vamlemtime’s Day Tribute to Baelbericht, the “War of Exiles” Character Who Got Away
If there's one thing I love to do on this blog, it's say one thing and be all, " 'S fuckin' right, dude. S'a way to do it!" but then totally come from the other hand with, "<sigh>... Yeah... That's the... way to do it. *sniff*" So, hey, I thought I'd do some of the... Continue Reading →
Brand New Day – Week 13 – Things Unsaid
Last night, I decided to delete a chapter and a new character from the book. Don't freak out! Doing this hasn't set me back at all. To the contrary, getting rid of an entire chapter and a new character who wasn't exactly helping is incredibly healthy. Particularly for a first time writer who intends to submit...

Brand New Day – Week 9 – When the Night Comes
When I was young, I used to get upset when the night came. A better word would probably be "afraid," but that implies that I was just scared of the dark (which I was, but it isn't that simple). I used to be afraid that the day was ending and I didn't do enough with... Continue Reading →
Brand New Day – Week 3 – Caught Between the Bell Curves
It's Thursday night. I want to knock out a post before I get to bed; I'm going to Queens Comic Con tomorrow with Kenney Broadway and Chaos Mechanica. It's an outing that was pretty exciting until I 8PM hit earlier and I realized that I somehow didn't get anything done for my book today. I know that's not exactly... Continue Reading →
Brand New Day – Week 1
Last week, on Wednesday, the 14th, I worked my last day at Borders. The rest of that week and the weekend that followed disappeared in a bunch of Borders closing parties (and the hang-overs that followed). Yesterday, Monday, the 19th, was a brand new day. In short, it was the beginning of my gamble to... Continue Reading →
The Turning Point
I've danced around the topic a few times on this site, careful to not talk about the actual experience or give any details about it, but, at this point, I don't see a reason to hide that I work at Borders. I'm still not going to talk about working there or any of the people... Continue Reading →
And Then They Dropped the Ball: The Last 5 Minutes of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
Disclaimer: I know. I know. Lords of Shadow is really old news. But this isn't a review--it's a lesson. If you've already beaten LOS or haven't and don't intend to, read on. If you're even considering playing it and don't want anything spoiled, then seriously--stop reading now. Spoiler Alert. I repeat, Spoiler Alert. It's rough... Continue Reading →
Sighclops
Last week, we were treated to the reveal of Marvel Vs. Capcom 3's final boss--Galactus. The reveal meant many important things for me: - I definitely wouldn't be getting the game (because, really, I fought Onslaught enough, thanks). - Now it's even sillier that none of the Fantastic Four made the cut (*again*). - And,...

A New Methodology
Writing used to be a feel good, hobby-ish thing for me. I would sit down and stare at my computer and brainstorm about what would happen next. And more often than not, an answer would not come. But that was always okay--cause it would come in time! As long as I was getting something done... Continue Reading →
