Journal (Book) http://www.Writing.Com/main/books.php/item_id/1540522 Mixing it up Today was a rather random, although light-spirited, day. I did not have much going on so I decided to spend the afternoon People Watching at a local Café. As usual I picked a random booth seat with a good view and began by narrowing my pool of victims (I regard them as much because I attempt to analyze their personality, and in all ...[Read Full Post] Wed, 12 Dec 2012 18:23:46 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/768295 Let us Venture I n lieu of a more curious hyperbole, let us venture to say that I'm a writer. Writers write, which makes sense to me, but there are writers aplenty, powerful authors few. To say I'm a powerful author is such an extreme to be nothing less than an outright lie. Imparting that I'm a novelist or anything close is...[Read Full Post] Tue, 11 Dec 2012 02:00:06 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/768139 After some depression time and continued dissatisfaction at life in general, I've decided to continue my writing. I've been writing with a fountain pen, mostly. It's time that I transcribe some of that and continue my Fantasy story. More, I need to figure out some exercises to increase efficiency. I've noticed it's sloppy and I must go back and correct...[Read Full Post] Mon, 03 Dec 2012 23:35:23 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/767556 Consortium of Confusion It has been a long time. Well, what I consider a long time, but you may not. It's been a rough road and my writing has been hit; hard. Oh, I've been writing, but mostly non-fiction reports concerning a devastating financial crisis about to consume the whole of earth. Or about the internal security of the ...[Read Full Post] Wed, 13 Jun 2012 20:46:13 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/754833 Perspective I ndeed, it is interesting what one may learn researching for a story. This is especially the case when that story has many intertwining elements with those ambiguous secret societies and mysteries of history. For instance, when Grand Master Jacques de Molay of the Knights Templar was killed because the Knights were gaining too...[Read Full Post] Thu, 23 Feb 2012 23:03:14 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/747712 Whew! An unexpected excursion with a good friend to explore the beaches of the East Coast is something that does not occur often. It was a refreshing taste of nature and friendship. Back to the story and back to the pen. Mon, 20 Feb 2012 18:30:08 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/747511 What is this feeling, this flight of fancy that has all but given me wings to fly? It's been awhile Writing.com! I've officially been back for a few months now, but personal agendas had to be met first. It's rough being deployed numerous times. Uncle Sam decided that he was going to recall me out-of-nowhere so: "Once more i...[Read Full Post] Sat, 18 Feb 2012 20:37:30 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/747350 It's a large project to take on with my car stuck in a ditch sinking in mud and the only hope is a friend with a rusted-out 80's pickup that squeaks at every opportunity and starts on 'occasion'. That's what it seems like here forgoing the repertoire of writing examples, barriers, and concepts; this Transitional Fantasy bears a true ...[Read Full Post] Sun, 31 Jan 2010 17:37:52 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/685948 My largest project is a transitional fantasy that I plan to span from modern society to an open-ended realm of magic, in essence using war as a conduit of change. My problem is, I'm not a million word writer and haven't had the greatest education - can not afford to take that adventure right now. As I plot and plan the different variables invol...[Read Full Post] Sun, 20 Dec 2009 21:00:33 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/680545 I have a hard time writing in a showing manner - for some reason it's more natural to tell it. Obviously an issue, I've come to realize that it only requires an extra step in the process. Telling is quick to produce a structure of the story, a fast rough draft of intent, and the showing can be formed later; but this inspires bad habits, an anno...[Read Full Post] Sun, 13 Dec 2009 14:42:34 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/679751 Starting off is difficult when you're broke. I don't wish to pay for schools and go into the debt department, and yet I do not know what resources are available in my endeavor. I keep writing because that's what I love to do, but I have no formal education to back it up. I'm ignorant concerning techniques and subjects that other writer...[Read Full Post] Sun, 13 Sep 2009 12:17:51 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/667562 Squeezing time into an already hectic schedule to pursue this passion convinces me that this will be a task long enduring. As I'm rushed to complete certain priorities I've noticed that mistakes exponentiate given that criteria and the small things that count are brushed over. So how am I to handle this quagmire of writing ineffectiveness that ...[Read Full Post] Tue, 08 Sep 2009 14:02:49 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/666888 So I'm writing small connected stories in an after the fact voice, all relating to what I hope will one day be an Epic Fantasy. The reasons are more along the lines of characterization, but the challenge appears within the evil character. Being self-absorbed and annoyed with all things it's hard to narrow down the actual gut-feeling of this wor...[Read Full Post] Sat, 21 Mar 2009 15:36:33 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/641521
