Writing

  • Zombie Attack!

    There are just too many great things to write about there; I really need to keep writing if only to cover all my bases! Riding on the coattails of my musings about westerns, I had a conversation with a friend of mine yesterday about zombies and how zombies are totally hot right now. Not just…

  • Yee-haw!

    Last night, I had the chance to see Rango; I have no intention to start using this blog as a platform for movie reviews, as I want to keep the focus entirely on writing and reading, but I did enjoy the film an awful lot. More importantly for what we’re here for today, however, is…

  • First things first: my numbers for views in March is completely blowing January and February right out of the water! So I want to make sure I thank all the weary wanderer and a regular readers for stopping by and reading my babblings. It’s encouraging to know that maybe my attempts to keep my creativity…

  • About Genre…

    Someone asked me recently about the type of writing I do. Naturally, this got me thinking about genres. There was a point in time where all I wrote was fantasy and science-fiction, perhaps with a little bit of surrealism mingled in there.

    I’m a little bit behind in the page count for the novel this month, mostly due to forgetting my notebook at work for a few days, but I’m catching up and I have no doubt that I’ll get back on the right foot today. The only problem with it so far, though, is that I…

  • I can’t help wondering if working on this blog and keeping my imagination charged and excited about writing as it tends to do is what’s leading me to remember my dreams better and to, in general, have such vivid dreams in the first place. Last night, there was one dream, but it felt like two,…

  • Yesterday morning was one of those amazing mornings where every moment just seemed to charge me with inspiration and the beauty of so many simple things, and how the fantasy we search for in fiction can be found, every so often, in moments of every day life. There was, of course, the geese. I work…

  • Every so often, I have a dream so vivid and inspired that it needs to be remembered for use in a story one day. It would be a shame, after all, to let those plots go to waste. I’m notoriously bad at forgetting what I dreamed about an hour or so after I wake up,…

  • Sunday Snippets.

    I am very proud to announce that, despite it being a bloody busy weekend, I am still right on track with my page count for March’s novel! Who’d’ve thought dedicating yourself to just sitting down and getting it done would actually work? I’d also like to take a moment to send a big thank you…
