LOL Cats takes some time to explain. Don’t ask. I came across this one and thought it was perfect. Again, don’t ask. Just laugh. 🙂

Free Writing Perspective
Sometimes when thinking about writing in general, odd things will pop into my head. One such thing was me remembering my writing classes I took back in high school. We did many writing exercises that included free writing. One of the shorts I came out with was a memoir based on one of my favorite… Continue reading Free Writing Perspective
Cloverfield Stole 90 Minutes From Me
Cloverfield is the big new J.J. Abrams movie that takes place in New York. Without giving anything away, it’s a monster movie shot in the POV of some residents. It follows their experiences with this whole thing. For a movie with so much underground hype and a big name behind it, I expected more. I… Continue reading Cloverfield Stole 90 Minutes From Me
I’ve Got Nothing
So for the past few days I’ve been talking about editing. I’ve been thinking about editing. I’ve been living and breathing editing. How’s my story coming? I haven’t edited in almost six days. What the hell??? Live and such gets in the way along with that pesky need to sleep, work, eat, etc. I was… Continue reading I’ve Got Nothing
I Must Focus
My editing has gotten (almost) the end. I’m on page 100 of 122 and my mind has been drifting ahead on publishing. The more I think about it, the more I’m not editing. I gotta focus and get this thing done. At my current rate, this round of editing should be done within two or… Continue reading I Must Focus

Now on an episode of I Should Be Writing I recently listened to, Mur stated that your word count that is presented to editors… Continue reading Word count??
Print On Demand
I stumbled upon this great Newsday article the other day that talks all about print on demand and authors who are trying to get out there. This is definitely worth a read.
Thinking Ahead
Editing is always something I hate. While working on my Robert story, I keep getting sidetracked on publishing and what I’m going to do with this work. My instinct is to self-publish due to the fact that it’s easy, quick and there isn’t any rejection. On the flip-side, if I can find an agent who… Continue reading Thinking Ahead
Introducing my website
I have realized that if I am going to take my writing seriously and really want to try to make something of this, I need a website for people to go to. This blog is the most updated portion but I need a place where people can learn about me, contact me and also a… Continue reading Introducing my website
Editing Status
My untitled story (I call the ‘Robert Story’ for now because that’s my main character) is in the process of being edited, which is almost torture for me. For many years I subscribed to the philosophy that the way I wrote it the first time is the way it was meant to be read. Five… Continue reading Editing Status
