Yes, I watched it. Yes, it was absolutely wonderful entertainment. I feel like lately we are in this Mecca of Marvel Madness where every movie that comes out is good. But some are bigger (Avengers), some are smaller (Ant-man), some are focused on villains who want to take over the world (Iron Man), and some…
Spring came. It didn’t wait until the end of May, it came in April this year, with nice sunny days and many warm one as well. It’s taken a little vacation so its been cooler and a bit damp lately, but not so much its bothersome. Still, all in all it was a very nice…
A little 5,800 word short comedic fantasy story I wrote for one of the contests that the forum Fantasy Writers posts monthly on Reddit. EDIT: Voting is long over, so I removed that link. ˜ The Three “Haur, noo, Reggie, gie us ‘at story again.” Mouser rubbed his back as he rode stiffly on his…
Of course I mean March is magical if by magical I mean “awful.” We’ve been hit by the plague. I started getting sick Tuesday evening, was in full-blown illness by Wednesday midday, and was off my feet most of Thursday and Friday. I was moving around more Saturday and Sunday, but still haven’t overcome the…
Henceforth a leap year extra day will be called “Bonus Day.” Now that the bonus day for 2016 is over and we’ve slid our way into March, with thoughts of spring growing nearer in our minds and hearts, I can close out the month of February and reflect on the writing I’ve done. 30,000 words…
As I close out the month of January, I’m pretty pleased with my results. I’ve written every day this month, with a high of 2400 words (today, which is a Saturday) and only a couple of “bad” days where I managed to only get 100 to 200 words. I’m closing in on 40,000 words for…
No, this was not “winter storm <some stupid dumbass weather channel name>”. Seriously, just give it up, weather channel, no one is buying it. Hurricanes get named, blizzards get a year. The blizzard of 2016. End of discussion, your marketing scheme has failed. If we must name them, the people will come up with clever,…
23.714 words. As of this morning, January 20th, I’ve written 23,714 words of literature. I’m pretty gobsmacked by that number, actually. It’s more than 4,500 words above the amount I set for myself based on a daily expected average of 959 words. I’ve completed one story but for the ending, have made real progress into…
It snuck up on me, it did. The Holidays came and went, and I’ve been on a “learn all about typewriters” binge since I got my Smith Corona before Christmas. I almost pulled the trigger on an early 1970’s Olympia SM9, considered by some to be the finest manual typewriter (portable, though it’s a big…
Happy New Year world. May 2016 be significantly better than 2015 was. That’s what happens during the ramp up to a Presidential election year in this country, we get a lot of pandering and fear mongering which seems to infect us like a virus, dumbing down our populace and turning us into frothing lunatics. I…
