Hello dear reader (I know that I have a few at least)! First off, an update: The Lost Tomb of Omo is currently at twenty four thousand, five hundred and sixty one words, or about 1,500 words added over the last week. Due to health issues and time commitments between both Kim and Jess, I’m... Continue Reading →
Swords Against Genre! Engineer’s Log, August 19th 2014: 23,028 Words
I now officially have ten chapters written for The Lost Tomb of Omo! I printed the whole work in progress and it came to about forty double spaced and double sided pages, it was too thick to staple as one section! I always print hard-copies for review and revision. Call me old fashioned, but there... Continue Reading →
Engineer’s Log, August 15th 2014: Turning a New Chapter
I’ve added about 400 words to The Lost Tomb of Omo since my last update. That isn’t too bad for three working days where the amount I time I can devote to writing is minimal… Plus an epic thunderstorm that disrupted one of those evenings. It also includes a fair amount of revision where I... Continue Reading →

Commentary: Marvel’s New Thor
I’m not quite sure how Marvel plans to make this work story wise, but I like the character design and art in spite of the unrealistic armor. This is far from the first time there has been a gender-flipped Thor or a lady wielding Mjölnir, but before now it was intended as a gimmick for... Continue Reading →
Engineer’s Log, July 14th 2014: No, I’m not Dead.
Hi Everyone. This is my first substantial update for the newly christened Aethereal Engineer, and a much needed update for Aethereal Engines, which hasn’t seen any new material added in about two and a half months at this point. So much for trying to post an update every 4-6 weeks! Sheesh! While that has been... Continue Reading →
Words Are the Tools That You Use to Practice Your Craft as a Writer
"Words are the tools that you use to practice your craft as a writer. A good writer can use the wrong words to improvise something that works, but with the right words they can construct something that is beautiful and serviceable." Something I said on a writing forum to a new writer earlier this month.... Continue Reading →
