Twenty one pages. If it was a screenplay, it'd be about right. But no, it's the 'scriptment' outline for the end of Ivre. It's before my March 31st deadline, which is a good thing. Now I have to buckle down and finish the story. No, not correct. The story is finished. I just have to… Continue reading How much for a last act?
You’re Joking, Right? Or Goals for 2013
Goals are important. They help one forge through the year ahead with some sense of purpose. This year, aside from surviving the miseries and privations placed upon me by the day job, I have a few other things I want to try. Note, my photography goals are very slim. I haven't focused as much as… Continue reading You’re Joking, Right? Or Goals for 2013
Reflections and the forthcoming year
For notes of a more personal nature, I would suggest visiting my LiveJournal. But this is for my writing , so I will stay relatively focused. In terms of my goals, this year has been a mixed bag. I have written three short stories, and have begun subscribing to and supporting two very good SF/Fantasy… Continue reading Reflections and the forthcoming year
The Madness Ends?
Yes, I have failed. Failed completely and utterly. It's time to put on some Radiohead and walk into traffic. I did not win at NaNoWriMo. I only generated 28K or so words in my novel. At my last count, it would have taken me until mid december to finally reach 50k. But, does this mean… Continue reading The Madness Ends?
Madness Updates
(As a quick aside, if anyone wants to suggest good typewriter based writing images, please let me know. Otherwise, might have to convince someone to pose with the typewriter.) First day of the great madness is complete. If anyone wishes to see my stats, check my NaNoWriMo site. Aside from a few hand written items… Continue reading Madness Updates
November Insanity
My normal fall insanity has been replaced by a lockout. So, aside from indulging in the usual melancholia and existential torment, what am I to do with myself? I could take part in more photographic nightmares, but I want to be insane, not suicidal. It was up to my writer's group to propose a solution.… Continue reading November Insanity

Masks and Armor
Masks, Armor, things hidden beneath layers of disguise. Ever run into a theme in your work and never realize it was there? I ran into this while discussing my writing and photography with a new acquaintance. It had me look back at the last few things I'd worked on. First, with my photography, you'll notice… Continue reading Masks and Armor
Coyote Lessons
Once upon a time, Coyote fancied himself a teacher. He saw a young boy who had trouble learning things - lessons wouldn't stick. They slipped from his head, like water off of rocks. And all the teachers in the world stamped away with frustration. "How do we get through to him?" So Coyote said, "Hey,… Continue reading Coyote Lessons
Small Doses
A quick and simple note, for a quick and simple subject. It's been entirely too long since I added an entry here. This will be brief, quickly sketched while I inundate myself with strange films and spy stories. For the last few weeks, I've added some word count to my Ivre novel, working my way… Continue reading Small Doses
