I realized that a full three days had passed between blog posts! Whoops! I’ve been trying to post every day or, at the minimum, every two days and I’m mad at myself for slipping. Three days! Yeesh. I’m not ranting because I think that I have an avid fan base or anything that has now…
This evening, I decided to reward myself [for a clean bill of health from my Doctor’s visit earlier in the day] with a massage. I called late in the day and was pleasantly surprised that I could be fit in for a 9pm appointment. Who knew those even existed? So, I went this evening, prepared…
In an effort to break through my writer’s block, I went sifting through some older projects I had started as part of my coursework at Full Sail University. I stumbled upon a very short piece I had begun as an exploration into the “New Historicism” literary style for my Literature Criticism and Analytical Thinking Course.…
One paragraph into chapter three on my fantasy piece and I froze-up. Nothing else will come out of me tonight. Too much on my mind, perhaps. Here’s all I could ring out of the dry sponge tonight: Hate is a powerful emotion. Inali had never known hate prior to the Hanupe attack. Now, the very…
I’m nervous. I hate doctors, especially this one. Not because he isn’t a nice guy or anything. He is actually one of the most pleasant physicians I’ve ever gone to. It doesn’t make me look forward to the visit, though. He could pass out lollipops and cashiers checks and I’d still dread the visit every…
Sometimes, time seems to crawl by. I’m sure all of you can relate to those moments. Maybe you were trapped in a boring meeting at work, watching the minute hand on that bromidic clock lazily make its orbit, mocking in its languid tick, tick, tick. Or perhaps it was that class we were all forced…
As I mentioned in a previous post, I’ve been in a very poetic mood lately. Writing a new poem every few days. I’ve since submitted several pieces to literary magazines, contests, and publishers in the hopes that I can make some headway on my goal of 5-in-28. [See: Who, me? for details.] Since I can’t…
One of the things I am learning about myself is that I often fear the unknown. In the case of Science Fiction this month, I was filled with so much trepidation about the genre that I had inflicted writer’s block upon myself. Up until last night, I was so worried that I didn’t have the…

This is in my head tonight. I could really use a piano bar and a drink right about now.
Ok… I think I may actually enjoy this fantasy fiction thing. A couple of nights ago, I shared the first chapter of the fantasy story I had begun writing for my current course. Over the last 48 hours, I’ve found myself unable to stop working on it. Since I’m still so new to this genre…
