You ever watch an old movie? Not like black-and-white, pre-talkies era, but forties or fifties-era flick. You know, color, but early color, surprisingly regular inclination to break into song and dance?

It was a thing.

Anyway, if you've ever sat down and watched one of these older flicks with friends, family, or even on your lonesome, it's likely that at some point during the runtime of the film, a comment similar to the following was made:

So this last weekend I came to a conclusion. I'd spent the week writing, as usual, working on the first draft of Jungle (you know, that sequel to that Colony book everyone keeps talking about), but between being sick and low on sleep (said sickness really, really wanted me to sleep), something just wasn't clicking. Something about the chapter I was working on, even when I finished it, felt off.

Hey readers. I’m still in the grips of dealing with the devastation visited upon both my family and my hometown (and for a terrifying read of what the community has undergone, see this news story)

Shorter post today guys, one in line with some thoughts I've had over the last few days. Let me start by telling you a story.

Perspective. It's important.

I'll be honest, part of me right now simply wants to link that wonderful scene from Pixar's Ratatouille wherein Anton Ego sits down for a meal and orders "perspective." Mostly just because it's a fun scene, and Anton is such a fun character. I mean, his nickname is "The Grim Eater," what's not to love about that?

Well, after multiple attempts at writing and rewriting the next chapter to Caring Sparkle, I've realized that this story has taken a turn for the worse and I completely missed it. Saying this, I have decided to go back and rewrite EVERY CHAPTER. I know I know, some of you are mad or disappointed, but please hear me out. I kept looking back at my notes, doing outline after outline, and even doing multiple rough drafts only to realize that where I wanted to go with this story is far off from

When I was younger, there was a point in my life where I was really, really into dissecting the games I played. And I don't just mean in story. I took those games apart. I learned to open and edit .ini files to put campaign-only units into skirmish games, or how to break the game in ways that designers never anticipated. I dove into the files. I put games through the wringer.

Alright...guys my last 2 blogs may have sounded almost....snappish and depressed, that's only because I haven't been feeling good the past 2 days. Father's Day threw me off pretty bad and the resulting action was me ranting on one blog and struggling to not break down in tears on the other blog. Let's just say....some bad memories resurfaced and I've been trying to cope with them. Even IRL I've been rather quiet and irritated these past few days. For that I apologize to you all. I know some of

Euugh. Today was supposed to be a catch-up day for writing. As well as a day when I got up and put up this post first thing in the morning. And then … I woke up at around eleven with a fuzzy head and light sore throat … and then I feel back asleep and woke up at 1 … and then I actually crawled out of bed at 3 a few minutes ago … We’ll see if I get any writing done, but from prior experience of forcing myself to write when my brain is like this and then deleting it all the moment my mind comes

Hey everyone! Welcome back to this week's Being a Better Writer post, which as you may have noticed, is a little late.

Welcome back, everyone! I'm sure many of you wondered where I was yesterday, since BaBW is primarily a Monday -specific post. Rest assured, all is well. I just had a shift at my other job yesterday that was all day. Didn't seem worth posting once more that I wasn't going to be able to post due to that since I'd already given enough warning that such was going to happen, so I figured most would be okay enough if I left things for today.

Sorry for the lateness today, guys. I'll see about making these more timely in the future.
