One day left in the month… and one more scary story to share in honor of Halloween. This is my favorite holiday, aside from Christmas, and for years I had the honor of publishing short stories commemorating the holiday. Two down, one to go… I hope you have enjoyed reading these tales as much as […]
There are two days left in the month… and two more scary stories to share in honor of Halloween. This is my favorite holiday, aside from Christmas, and for years I had the honor of publishing short stories commemorating the holiday. I posted one yesterday; this is another one. I hope you continue to enjoy. […]
There are three days left in the month… and three scary stories to share in honor of Halloween. This is my favorite holiday, aside from Christmas, and for years I had the honor of publishing short stories commemorating the holiday. This is one of them. I hope you enjoy. | | The […]
I’ve written 5,400 words in the past few hours. I’m literarily exhausted. But I’m not quite done, I think. One of the repercussions of my conversation last night with my best friend over the next batch of stories I will be focusing on, I suppose. I have a bit over a dozen stories-in-progress. I had […]

I thought about finding / writing another animal-related poem tonight, but I’m here at the final part of my Opeth discographic adventure (the most recent album I have by them, not the most recent album they’ve released… time to buy some new music, methinks). And I am moved to write something about bands changing genres, […]
Here’s another old poem… I guess I’m on an animal kick right now? Goodness knows there are worse things in life than devoting rhyme and rhythm to the ones with whom we share this planet. I can’t remember if this one has been published before or not. | | Said the Falcon […]

I don’t know, I guess I’m not done with character-creation mode yet, or something. I go through phases when it comes to determining what I need to know about characters prior to their appearance in my stories. Right now, I start with their name, age and whatever role they play in the setting to which […]
Lots of writing today, but very little of it in the vein of poetry or prose. In fact, most of it isn’t even publishable, at least not until I’m such a famous published author that everything I’ve ever written is somehow worth compiling and studying. Just you wait. But I’m getting ready to delve into […]
