Writing: Obsession versus Expression
The urge to write speculative fiction comes to many people. One of the recurring themes I often encounter, though, is writing as an "obsession". In fact, a large number of the folks I relate with on a regular basis often use descriptors such as "have to" and "must" with the word "write". In their minds, there is no option. Published or no, they ( Read more... ) -
Situational Refactoring on Evolutions
"Is Evolutions or isn't it?"
That's a fair enough question that several people have been curious about and for good reason.
The answer is, "Maybe."

Wayne and returning with the college boy's needed books that Amazon sent to the Fort instead of the Granola Capital here. Prior to today, my evenings have been involved with finishing my story for the Jim Baen Memorial contest, my days having been ( Read more... ) -

The Art on My Walls
I like art. Actually, it would probably be more accurate to say that I like illustration art. Fine art to me, in a vein of perspective similar to my tastes in reading, smacks entirely too much of the same sort of eclectic elitism that seems to drive "witwawawy" fiction.
