Good Monday to everyone out there. With the beginning of this week, I wanted to brag post my progress on Spirit Hackers. I worked on this the other night and decided not to post right away because it interfered with my other posts and I didn’t want to give you guys too much hotness (AKA… Continue reading Nothing To Brag About

New Story Progress
Last week I introduced you all to my new project Spirit Hackers. It’s a story that I feel passionate about (unlike Mars) and I believe that this can be a really great book. Unfortunately I was sidelined with a cold and didn’t get much writing done. Last night I was able to get back in… Continue reading New Story Progress
A New Story
It’s interesting how the writers brain works. For a long while now I’ve been struggling with Mars and I haven’t been doing any writing. Earlier this week I decided I needed to officially put Mars on hold and figure out what I wanted to do. The struggles of the book were not helping my lack… Continue reading A New Story
The Twisted Path of the Mind
This morning I was over at the funny and insightful blog of Colby Marshall where she talked about an interesting topic. You should click over to the full post but the gist was that she read an article in People Magazine and began a tangent in her mind that became a funny image her imagination… Continue reading The Twisted Path of the Mind

This book is to be an experiment in seeing how a story can be crafted when multiple people are involved. As each chapter or section is posted, comments, edits, suggestions and all input will… Continue reading The Interactive Story
And Now Something New
Lately I have been trying to figure out how to get more consistent content onto Copious Notes. My work schedule, combined with my after-work activities, make free time difficult sometimes. I *still* have not written anything new and I belive my writing drought stands at 4 weeks. Well now I’m looking to change that. Since… Continue reading And Now Something New
When the Drive is in Neutral
My writing has still been non-existant and I believe I haven’t written a single word in almost a month. Of course I can attribute this to some reasons and even make excuses about my move. Yes they are valid but only to a point. I will say that the two of the past three weeks… Continue reading When the Drive is in Neutral
Hell Froze Over: I Wrote Last Night
Yesterday I promised myself that when I got home from work that I would get my ass into the Frakkin’ chair and get some writing done. Well…. I did. I banged out some more pages of Mars, but it was interrupted by my wife coming home and the TV going on. I must say that… Continue reading Hell Froze Over: I Wrote Last Night
Outline Rewrite?
Mars has been a struggle for me and I have not written much in the past few months that it’s been in the works. For the first time ever, I actually created an outline, so I had an idea of where to go and to make the story flow better. Now, I don’t know if… Continue reading Outline Rewrite?
