Okay folks, so I was recently challenged by a fellow artist that my opinion on art was less valuable because I didn’t have any art published to my blog. While I don’t agree with the spirit of the statement, it did point out a glaring omission so expect more, if not daily posts of art, [...]
A Change in Perspective…
Much like last year, the holidays have got me in an artistic funk. And much like last year, I’ve let that funk keep me from enjoying any sort of creativity as well as enjoying the holidays.
The whole scenario has got me thinking about my own priorities and where the many things in my life lie.
Thanksgiving and stuff
How ya like that title, eh? Thought provoking.
Thanksgiving weekend was nice. I needed the break. Work has been crazy for the past few months and only recently began to let up.
I got to spend a little time with my Mom. I don’t make time for her very often, though I know I should. Our family isn’t close, never has been, but it’s nice to get to see her.
Uninspired or Over-inspired?
I’ve started this post at least five times in the last ten minutes which is possibly another sign of the trend I’ve noticed. I can’t decide what I want to do. I mean, I know that I have all this creative energy that I need to find a home for, but the question of how I want to spend it is still unanswered.
K.D. Wenworth Interview is up at Fantasy
My interview with K. D. Wentworth has gone live over at Fantasy Magazine. It’s a non-fiction credit but a credit is a credit. Go check it out!
Annual Site Re-design and an Update on my Art
I wish that the title of this post where at least a little bit of a joke but the truth is that I’m more than a little bit like my mother. She would rearrange what furniture we had on an almost weekly basis. As if there was some optimal configuration of rickety, tattered furniture that would create and illusion of quality and style. Perhaps with the same goals, I’ve re-designed the site again to the form you see before you.
Milestones
As most of my handful of readers know, David Steffen and I have started a zine together called Diabolical Plots. It is a site for writers and fans of the genre that keeps those of us that are simply too brilliant for real life to entertain, speculative fiction. We cover the full gamut of medium in which this genre lives including movies and video games.
40 years and what have we done?
Forty years ago Neil Armstrong became the first human being to set foot on another celestial body. His words which are still some of the most recognizable even today were powerful and telling of a nation of people who saw hope and promise in a time of political and social unrest. I wasn’t alive then [...]
Million Man Lan 8
I’m sitting in a dark convention hall with about two hundred other like-minded people. The room is divided into two areas, Alpha and Bravo sections and each section consists of row after row of folding tables with all sorts of computer equipment piled on top. Everything from laptops to e-machines to water cooled gaming rigs. [...]
Great writing websites…
As an aspiring writer I find the internet to be an extremely valuable tool as well as a colossal drain on my writing time. There are fantastic resources available to new writers that quite frankly I would not have survived without. On the other hand, even these great resources can be an excuse not to [...]
