A New Direction
Hey Everyone,
This site probably doesn't get much traffic anymore. I've kept it mostly as a private journal for so long, I'm sure it has aged off anyone's feed.
Now, I'm going to tell you about my new project. I want to pursue life, happiness, and moving on with my life in the best of ways. So, at long last, I have decided to start a writing ( Read more... ) -

When I write
Recently I took a different tack and got out of my comfort zone for reading. Or maybe I got back into my comfort zone. When I read fiction, I have a hard time staying awake. It will take a very long time for me to read a book of fiction since I have to keep waking myself up after a few pages to continue on. It's not necessarily that I am bored ( Read more... ) -
Breaking Bad, Avengers, Sleepy Hollow, and Other Fun Stuff
I love the Avengers. It's a unique experience to have a show that spun off from a Movie universe and work very well. It's not the Planet of the Apes, Logan's Run, Swamp Thing, or even Highlander.

Recently, I stopped and visited a bookstore, like an actual bookstore, for the first time in probably six months.

Weird Stuff I Found on YouTube
So, today, I was looking at videos for straight/safety razors. THis is a hobby of mine, as I have been using a straight razor almost exclusively for about two years now. The experience is very relaxing (until you cut yourself, and then you are scrambling for sulfa, a tournequette, or the styptic pen, depending on how bad you nicked yourself). ( Read more... ) -
O! LJ Hivemind! Answer my query!
I have gotten a bunch of agent/publisher rejections on my novel, Song of the Cinder. The reason for most is "it was interesting and the writing was great, but had too many weird elements for us to market" etc. etc. I've gotten too many of these to think it's just a platitude ( Read more... ) -
