Passing through
Man, it's been a long time since I posted anything here. This place is so secret that even I forget about it ( Read more... ) -
Nothing but music
Hey, I got nothin' today, but I NEVER seem to post when I'm playing music, and I'm playing music right now. So strike while the iron is hot, right? I mainly listen to movie soundtracks while I write, and tonight I'm playing one of my favorites: The Jungle Book (the later live-action version, not the animated one with all the songs), with music by ( Read more... ) -
More writer stuff (and some Star Trek neep for good measure)
I've been posting a lot lately. Just not here.
First of all, if you're interested in writing, here are some things you might be interested in. I've just added an indexed (by subject) list of writing article links from our various blogs to the www.Yorkwriters.com site. Lots of good stuff there.

It's a silly practice, but we aren't likely to get rid of it soon, and it may actually be a critical ( Read more... ) -
A New Use for Crap Movies
(Yes, it's been a while since I posted here, and this post is why. Huh? Well, actually, I'd entered this entire thing when some kind of browser problem made it appear that I'd lost the thing. Seemingly it was gone for good. Very frustrating, and not exactly an incentive to post here. Blogger, by comparison, seemed much more graceful in the way ( Read more... ) -
Secret Brief of the Day
Okay, I don't like to make fun, because some of my very good friends have tattoos, but in the words of Nelson from "The Simpsons," "HA-ha ( Read more... ) -
Two more anthology sales
Two more recent short-story sales, both to Denise Little at Tekno books. One called "Jason and the Stargonauts" to an anthology called "The Trouble with Heroes." It's actually, despite the title, a Hollywood writer's room story with no fantasy or sf elements except in the meta sense. I like it a lot, especially in that the "Jason and the ( Read more... )
