Fractured Fragment Friday: “Gladius” (and a coupon!)

Posted on June 28, 2019 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

I’m not quite sure how “Gladius” wound up where it ended – the original story was to have something to do with virtual reality and infectious ideas, but then the virtual coliseum shifted to being the actual reality, a place where various races had been taken as slaves by a master alien culture and forced … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: A Little About Swordsmaster

Posted on June 26, 2019 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

Goals update: Last week I made my three blog posts (by now I could just stop reporting this as I make them like clockwork, but it gives me something to feel good about every week, and who knows if I would still make it if I stopped reporting?), and managed to get back to my … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about Going to Mars!!!

I’M GOING TO MARS!!! Here’s my boarding pass: I’m not quite sure how they’re going to fit all 7,315,476 (and counting) of us on there, but you can go HERE  to get your own boarding pass if you’d like to join us. This is almost as much fun as my fantasy that I would get … Continue reading →

Fractured Fragment Friday: “Truth in Advertising”

Posted on June 21, 2019 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

Today is the release day for “Truth in Advertising”! The original concept was of a paranoid individual who is easily discounted by his friends, and fits all the outward signs of a wacked-out conspiracy theorist. He is recruited by aliens to be their agent, because if he were to spill the beans, no one would … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: Ending Pending (it’s a pun…)

Posted on June 19, 2019 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

Goals update: Last week I made my three blog posts as always. I fell on my face commenting on blogs; I think that I maybe made one comment (what efforts I might have made were curtailed lots of LIFE happening. I will need to remedy that – both the commenting and LIFE…) I finally got … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about Predators and Prey

Posted on June 17, 2019 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

From my earliest memories, I’ve been fascinated with animals. I always felt a great affinity with wolves, and, to a lesser extent with hawks (I’m not that parochial about it – I include falcons in that love, although I can’t seem to view eagles as part of that group – not sure why.) I was … Continue reading →

Fractured Fragment Friday: “Saturday He Fed the Cat” (and a coupon!)

Posted on June 14, 2019 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

I wasn’t thinking of anything in particular when “Saturday He Fed the Cat” came to me. It may have been influenced by the death of our 15-year old westie a couple of months earlier (Katy – the namesake of the story’s protagonist, and the westie pictured on the cover.) In the original 250-word start, the … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: Swordsmaster Revisions Coming Together

Posted on June 12, 2019 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

Goals update: Last week I made my three blog posts (as usual), as well as my quota of comments on other blogs. I haven’t found a new market for “Schizo the Magnificent”, which is my ONLY remaining short story that hasn’t been ePubbed. I’m still looking, but I’m not trying so hard – it’s a … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about the Self-Sacrifice of Warriors

Posted on June 10, 2019 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

Last week was the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings. There were a lot of stories told about D-Day, and World War II in general – stories of young men fighting and dying for their countries. That’s the way it always seems to be – men young enough to be effective fighters haven’t really lived … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: What To Do About Depression?

Posted on June 5, 2019 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

Goals status: Last week I made my three blog posts (as usual), as well as my quota of comments on other blogs. I’m STILL looking for a new market for “Schizo the Magnificent”, which is my only remaining short story that hasn’t been ePubbed, and so is still in search of a market (yes, over … Continue reading →
