Somehow, a week has managed to come and go. Don’t ask me how, I couldn’t explain why the Earth spins, or how I could possibly have done so little in the week that just passed. Yup, did almost nothing again. Ok, that’s not exactly true I suppose, just didn’t make much headway with my writing [...]

I’ve had a busy week. Once again, it never quite goes the way you would hope, but it can be busy anyways. My main projects this week were to get some critiques finished up, and get my first draft of a haunted doll story written. I managed the critiques: two short stories and a novel. [...]

Yeah, I remember what I wrote last week. I had mentioned that I wanted to finish off another one of my WIPs that I’ve already had critiqued. I had floated across the idea of completing “Blood & Puppies.” Well, obviously, I got side-tracked. I began putting together the horror review portion of the site, and [...]

So I’ve done pretty much no writing this past week at all. I did critique Andy’s piece, but that’s all that I’ve done writing related. Instead, I’ve been doing more of one of the things that I truly love: watch horror movies. There’s something about a good, or bad horror/thriller movie that sucks me in. [...]

Things are starting to wind down over here. A lot of sources of chaos have left. Some I’ve welcomed the departure, others I’ve been saddened at. Regardless, with a straight course finally starting to bloom on the horizon, it’s time for me to get back into the swing of things. I’ve finally managed to acquire [...]

So as usual, my huge plans to write more frequently and to improve my storytelling ability were completely dashed by the reality of real life. For some crazy reason, that always seems to happen. Maybe I’m not diligent enough, or maybe the fates don’t like my short hair and glasses. I don’t know, but I’m [...]

Here I am, sitting around a table at the last write-in of 2010. It’s been a wonderful challenge this month and we’ve had some great participation. We’ve got 5 confirmed winners and 2 non-confirmed winners. There are 35 following on the boards, but only about 11 participants from the various points across the month. We [...]

Sitting about half-way through the month, I’m still sitting about half-way through the script. It’s been busy week, with a lot of unexpected things cropping up. That’s not something that I’m overly impressed with, but I’ll deal. So far Script Frenzy has been a pretty good success as far as getting people to come on [...]
