WIP-it Wednesday: January 6th, 2016
Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read! An irritatingly short-staffed workplace, paired with a long holiday weekend with lots of interruptions, combined to frustrate my progress on PRINCE OF STARS. It wasn’t a bad weekend; it just kept me from my goal of finishing the story. I... Continue Reading →
WIP-it Wednesday: December 30th, 2015
Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read! I managed to get the first two parts of my science fantasy space opera, PRINCE OF STARS posted to the Reddit writing challenge that inspired it on Christmas Eve. I think they turned out pretty well, and I started in... Continue Reading →
This Deal’s Getting Worse All The Time…
One of the things that I like best about this Robot Chicken skit is that Billy Dee Williams lent his voice to it in a humorous reprise of his role of Lando Calrissian. Also, pay attention to the guys in the background. ;-)
WIP-it Wednesday: December 9th, 2015
Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read! As noted last week, I’ve had a lot going on and didn’t have too much time for fiction until Sunday rolled around this weekend. Saturday was a good day, however. It found me taking in an afternoon performance of The... Continue Reading →
TIE Fighter – A Short Animated Film by Paul Michael Johnson
Artist and animator Paul Michael Johnson spent four years worth of weekends animating this truly amazing short film that hearkens back to the style, detail and shading of classic 1980s anime that blew me away as a youth! My storytelling was and is molded by those shows and Star Wars, so I was overjoyed to... Continue Reading →
STAR WARS : The Solo Adventures
This short animated film was a class project created by students at the DAVE School of digital Arts and Visual Effects in Orlando Florida in 2010. I love Star Wars, and this is one of my favorite Star Wars "Fan Films" ever because it captures the character of Han Solo so well! Hopefully, some of... Continue Reading →
Art-Tastic Tuesday: Jarl Vader, Son of Muspelheim by Nicolas Lizotte
On Tuesdays I feature a selected piece of visual art that I have come across. These are pieces that have inspired my writing or beautifully frame some concept or another that I have already written or want to write about. I present them without commentary so they may inspire you without the burden of... Continue Reading →
Keeping the Darkness at Bay
I’ve been working on fiction as much as I can given the brutal weather in my corner of the United States. I’m used to snow and cold, but over the last two weeks we have had a storm an average of every other day… my house currently looks like the Rebel Base on Hoth. Then... Continue Reading →
Engineer’s Log: Bro, Do You Even Prologue?
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about prologues lately. Being on several writers groups has shown me that prologues are “a thing” for fantasy novel writers… But are they “a thing” because they are needed? Or are they “a thing” because “that’s the way the other guys do it and I want to be... Continue Reading →
