i grew up with a grandfather and a father that seemed brave, in that they were unafraid to read. which means both basements had old wooden shelves and boxes around, both filled with paperbacks. To Granddad, books were an expensive luxury item. Being able to read a novel straight through in...

a bit of trivia. Easter is not, despite the many rumors, celebration of "christ resurrection". The original four holidays, to the early pagans. were always... when the day and night were exactly the same in length in time (spring and fall equinox) when the longest day and shortest day occurred...

Let me see what i can whip up. I'm supposed to be a writer, after all. -------------------------------------------------------- Hm. congratulations on your recent success. you must have a rare grasp of the everyman's simple mind, to appeal to them so well. (rich snotty people, have this cool...

if it would make us friends, I would give of myself this way for you.

I originally just banged away to get as close to stream of consciousness speed, from the movie in my head to just banging out the story as quick as possible. But it took so much time editing it was ridiculous. Over time I started doing more on the rough draft as I go. The last one I worked on, I...

if you spent *any* time around dairy, feeders, bulls, steers, anything... they have this horse kick that is so goddamn fast, Chuck Norris couldn't avoid it. We call them Bruce Lee cows. They can also do it out to the side. You have no conception of the power that thing has, nor how fast and...

so when friends come over to party, you can stop the movie, and point to your name in the little print in the credits? that's so cool.

@Corty shower him with some feet pics. I didn't go hog wild with the feet in the BDSM action. just enough for general purposes. and unlike a certain former president, I know to inhale it.

what's my prize. do I get a cookie?

the web-novel model, it worships and rewards... ---as many words as possible ---as many released chapters as possible ---the never ending story in the end, you want an open ended premise... short chapters... chapters with no end and yes,a good short story can be very powerful and rewarding...

Its amazing what human beings can desensitize to and have become normalized. the next thing you know, you feel like you're "just doing the basics" and trying to keep your shit together... and if they're telling the truth, about everyone there will admit it. my rule of thumb. anything dangerous...

ah yes. stealing goods, a crime. selling stolen goods? almost as much a crime. grinding the serial numbers off and selling them on Ebay? l-e-g-a-l you're describing grinding the serial numbers off.

if you think watching a war on the phone or on TV is boring? Maybe... what do you think its like for the poor assholes stuck in the middle of the hot zones? Just saying. Boring, would be an improvement. Can you imagine being in a First Person Shooter game? But, if you lose, you DIE. I refuse to...

the soccer ball is a sort of a "motif" for a main character, and for more than one reason after the origin trilogy is done. I thought of tag-lining the series "the Karma novels", and the soccer ball is still a little "motif' to identify the Karma novels from my stand alone stuff. Merry's...

I'm writing a story, a chapter at a time. I have a chapter titled "Desc" and maybe a "Notes" chapter. Story title is the folder name, and I preserve the rough draft by copying the folder, and "copy 1" becomes the one I work on, thus providing ultimate backup point should the bad thing happen. If...

are you sure I wasn't the first one to quiz the writer ? lol, go have a look. I have this highly annoying thing where I don't "skim" things, I read them. Heresy, I know. Once I commit to reading something, its every word or nothing, until I finish or quit.

I have a recurring MC and a few sidekicks who was *in* a war, but it was a non standard war. Twice I open the book with a third person short war experience. Because there's a slow start to the first person story of him later in life. Takes you a few seconds to realize that's the "quiet...

this must be a demonic sense of humor? Yet I find it to be devilish.
