I’ve made no secret of my disdain toward the mainstream entertainment industry. In fact, I’ve only been to the movie theater a handful of times since 2011, I don’t own any current gen video game consoles (though I admit my children own a Nintendo Switch), and, call me crazy, I vastly prefer owning physical mediaContinue reading “The Iron Age is Upon Us”

Devious Poetry (a refresher)
Below is a summary of my Devious Poetry discussion so far. This subject matter is always difficult to tackle, but it’s something I must get off my chest. The discussion so far: Silence is a Rabbit Hole An exploration on how powerful silence can be and how it could even be a useful tool for writers.Continue reading “Devious Poetry (a refresher)”
On Fairytales and Their Importance
It’s a crime that fairytales have fallen to the wayside. People have been robbed of many life lessons they should’ve learned growing up, and, make no mistake, this was done on purpose. Fairytales are crucial to any culture, and to proper childhood development. Not only do they contain moral lessons about right and wrong, courage,Continue reading “On Fairytales and Their Importance”
The Machine (preview)
Happy 4th! The following is a snippet from my upcoming novella, The Machine. The featured artwork was also created specifically for this story (something I’ve been working on since almost a full year ago, but had to set aside for the trading card game project.) Feedback of any kind on this story (and the artwork)Continue reading “The Machine (preview)”
Is Writing Fun?
I’ve been writing in some capacity since 2007. And I won’t mince words: Sometimes writing can be fun but usually, it feels like work. A good part of my journey has been trying to figure out how to make writing fun. Perhaps that’s all just smoke and mirrors though, a way to fool myself intoContinue reading “Is Writing Fun?”
A Wall of Me
I hope I’ve never come across here as trying to blame others for my own failures. So let me be clear: Nobody stands in my way but me. This blog has a heavy focus on the psychology of the human mind precisely because I am my own worst enemy when it comes to getting writingContinue reading “A Wall of Me”
I Discovered I’m a Discovery Writer–Now What?
So it turned out I’ve been a discovery writer all along, which explains a lot about who I am as an author and where I stand today (a revelation I learned while watching one of Brandon Sanderson’s lectures on YouTube). Discovery writers and pantsers are basically the same thing. Ditto for outliners and plotters. PantsersContinue reading “I Discovered I’m a Discovery Writer–Now What?”
My Writing Notes: Organized At Last!
Given the numerous problems I’ve had organizing my writing notes in the past, I’ve been searching high-and-low for a solution for many years, hoping I’d eventually stumble upon an organizational program that works for me. I’ve tried OneNote, Scrivener, mind-mapping programs, notecard programs, plotting programs, Post-It note-style programs, etc. and ran into many problems, including:Continue reading “My Writing Notes: Organized At Last!”
Trying to Organize An Army of Snippets
Even though I’d found the discipline to properly label all my writing notes/reminders/snippets and had diligently been saving them into text documents, in the end, I had way too many of them. Imagine several more folders full of documents like the ones above. Each document had hundreds of entries which typically included writing notes spanningContinue reading “Trying to Organize An Army of Snippets”
