Hurry Up, Technology!
I’ve made this complaint before, but we need those dream records they have in “Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.” I had a sequel/continuation to a previous dream. Both of them were awesome. Both of them vanished from my brain the moment I woke up. I have little broken pieces, images mostly, floating around in my…

Afternoon Showers on the Frontal Lobe
I did some brainstorming with Elizabeth Poole today, which was incredibly helpful. I was wavering on 7Sac, as the scope was too large and the story too small. There wasn’t enough steak and potatoes. It was mostly pre-dinner rolls. The story was at risk of falling into too many cliches, specifically the “build a team”…

Plontsing the Sac
I’ve been on holiday! It is becoming a tradition that each Christmas my wife and I go up into the White Mountains for a few days. Though New Hampshire is a small state, the North country and the South Country are pretty different (as we’re often reminded by those that live in the North). You…

My people, they have but one bunghole
Extra extra extra tired today. Thus I talk to anyone and everyone to keep myself awake. This does not lead to quality work, but does lead to some fun creativity. Follow this thought process: I’m talking to my friend Michelle. She says she needs to go eat lunch before she passes out. I keep talking…

His Shadow Stands Over Us
Streaming Netflix over my Xbox (really, it seems that’s the only thing I use my Xbox Live account for any more1 2), I watched a miniseries with Daniel Craig called Archangel. Though I think I may have seen the ending before, the rest of it was quite interesting. Especially the first two episodes. General premise…

A Ponderance: What do you think is back there?
My good online friend and beta reader, LurkerWithout works nights at a hotel. Having held this job myself, I understand his psychological pain. To pass the time, he will occasionally doodle and share those doodles with the masses. (That’s you and me, in case you were wondering just who was amassed.) Today’s offering is worth…

Frenetic
I have stopped revising so I can read BLUE FIRE. I haven’t opened my computer since Monday evening. This isn’t too bad because I should finish the book by tomorrow. It’s not a long-term delay or anything. And reading a good book is a great way to recharge one’s batteries. Keep the juices flowing and…

Pre-Ponderance
This isn’t a fully formed story idea, but something I wanted to write down for later. Today is my birthday (and if I weren’t so tired, I had a completely different post I wanted to make but now I’m just going to go watch “Repo Men” instead). For my birthday, I went up to the…
