A Return

For a long time, writing had become less than a chore to me. A chore at least has a purpose, an end goal. If I'm taking on the chore of doing dishes, by Christ, there will be some clean dishes at the end of the day. Writing wasn't even that to me. The odds that … Continue reading A Return →

It Is The End, My Friends

Hello, I've reached the end of my blogging for 30 days spectacular. I'm pretty happy about that. I found out that it's really hard to think of thirty interesting blog entries sequentially. But it has kickstarted my interest in writing and has gotten some gears turning again that I thought would be forever rusted up. … Continue reading It Is The End, My Friends →

Writing Update

Hello, I'm nearing the end of my experiment to write in this blog every day and I'm looking forward to that last day. There's only so much I can say, day in and day out and I'm sure there are days when y'all could tell I was checked out, especially on those 11:00pm postings. But … Continue reading Writing Update →

Writing On Writing About Writing for a Writer

Hello Again, I've been going back and forth on what I want this blog to be and that's just given me plenty of great excuses to not write anything. And, if there's anything I excel at, it's creating excuses. In an attempt to make sure that I write something, anything, in this space, I'm freeing … Continue reading Writing On Writing About Writing for a Writer →

31 Days of Spoooktacular: The Gauntlet

Way back in the beginning, you may recall that I said that 31 Days of Spoooktacular was part of how I planned to force writing to become a habit for me. Writing has always been something I do sporadically, intermittently and with no true pattern. Even over the course of this year, where I've given myself … Continue reading 31 Days of Spoooktacular: The Gauntlet →

31 Days of Spoooktacular: The Halfway Point

It is now the 16th of October and the halfway point, or a little over the halfway point. 31 doesn't really split equally very well. I'm torn with how this is turning out. It's really hard to write non-stop about one subject for 31 days and keep it interesting for both myself and the people … Continue reading 31 Days of Spoooktacular: The Halfway Point →

31 Days of Spoooktacular: Reflection

I'm still reeling a bit from the convention yesterday. I'm not a person that really likes big crowds of people and I don't like big crowds of exuberant people. So yesterday was a bit overwhelming. But, as I mentioned briefly in my last blog entry yesterday, there is something invigorating about being surrounded by a bunch of … Continue reading 31 Days of Spoooktacular: Reflection →

31 Days of Spoooktacular: Rock and Shock (Prelude)

So here's the plan; I'm going to try and post small entries throughout the day from Rock and Shock. Hopefully there'll be pictures and commentary and at least one story of me running from a crowd while Yacketty Sax plays. I'm terrible at live blogging, but we'll see how this goes. At the very least, … Continue reading 31 Days of Spoooktacular: Rock and Shock (Prelude) →

Entry X

So! For the second time this year, I've forced myself to write ten entries in a single day. I'd feel bad about making this last entry a cop-out, wrap-up entry, but I don't. So there. In the future, I'd like to avoid this little bit of tom foolery. Shouldn't be too hard. All I have … Continue reading Entry X →

Hallowed Days

In ye days of old, I did something terrific and scary and awesome to celebrate Halloween all month: I would write a short story every single day and post it on my old blog. I called it Thirty-One Days of Horror and the last time I did it, I raised the roof and brought down … Continue reading Hallowed Days →
