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

We’re getting closer and closer to making “improvements” in our genetics, whether it’s a good idea or not. I was wondering – as we FINALLY try to go into space, will our ability to alter ourselves become more cost effective than creating safety devices to protect us from the perils of space travel? And what … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: When LIFE Happens

Weekly Goals: I made both three blog posts last week, but only one of my three comments on the blogs of others; our home was invaded by another slab leak, so the last few days, my activities have been… interrupted. I wrapped up the FINAL Swordsmaster revisions in one day (it now has 100,347 words), … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: A Writer Must Finish What He Writes

Goals update: Last week I made both three blog posts and three comments on the blogs of others. I currently have no stories waiting to be sent out to market (“Schizo the Magnificent” is still under consideration.) My next release date will be October 25th, and probably a collection, since I don’t have any individual … Continue reading →

Fractured Fragment Friday: “Truth in Advertising”

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

In the original 250-word start, the … Continue reading →

Fractured Fragment Friday: “Dempsey’s Debut” (and a coupon!)

“Dempsey’s Debut” – I was thinking about an alien species judging us by our violent past (maybe not just judging us on it, but interested in us specifically because of it.) As all distant relationships go, they were not reading us quite right (they were seeing our gladiator movies and boxing and other entertainments as … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: When Will Enough Be Enough?

Last week’s status: Made my three blog posts as usual, as well as my quota of comments on other blogs. Still looking for a new market for “Schizo the Magnificent”, but not looking for one for “Truth in Advertising” anymore since it will be my June 21st release. Need to prep the eBook. Last week … Continue reading →
