Headway

19Jun09

So I’ve been writing outlines and glossaries like some sort of madman, trying to get this whole writing thing under control. Largely I’ve created a world, something not so epic, but with a combined history to make it easier on myself and the reader. Plus there’s the whole mythology part of it. To sum it [...]


So I started writin something new, I think it might be the start of whatever I want my space story to be, maybe.

It seems like there always have to be words on the paper to get me to start writing. That blank page, the stark white, is as damning to me as  the question “what [...]


Thomas Paine once said “If there must be trouble let it be in my day, that my child may have peace. I don’t know why but that phrase, that notion of personal responsibility rung true with me throughout my entire life. We’re the keepers of our own destiny and all that jazz, we’re the makers [...]


For school

13Dec08

Wrote something for school, final essay and all. Might revamp it, might change the main character (borrowed him from my other story).
Close Quarters

The rumble of the rails had finally subsided into the lull of background, my drink had begun its slow course through my veins and the stranger in the next booth kept on staring [...]


Update

02Oct08

School’s has been my primary focus for the past couple of weeks, mind you that I haven’t forgotten about my blog, just busy. Bought some books recently, partly for leisure partly for influence. A collection of what are touted “the best American mystery stories”, a collection of HP Lovecraft stories (like I said, leisure), Stephenson’s [...]


Some lines

15Sep08

‘How awfully forward of you? Who says I’ll play game?’ The alcohol was winning; hell, at the moment I could feel its warmth spreading through my veins like some lovely truth serum.
‘Who says you won’t?” The way she posed this question was borderline lewd in the sense of things. Not that I didn’t mind [...]

Goodbyes

A Cafe

The Contract
The Person in question
The city at night

Angst

03Sep08

I don’t mean to make this an lj or anything, but I’m in a self-viewing mood so here goes. Maybe I’m just not right for people. When I look for a relationship I look for three things: They like me, I find them attractive (in what I think is attractive, personality, a certain look, &c), [...]


I’ve been writing some, rehabilitating much more. I’m back at full typing speed I think. But anyway, I’ve been drawn to some more ideas and it’s eerie the way bleak, devastating music can prime the mind for creating the detail sufficient enough for the grit and grime of worlds imagined. Lately it’s been a lot [...]


I broke my arm

04Aug08

so here is a bit of a story I was writing earlier this summer. pardon some inconsistencies.

Once in time of great hardship my father would reassure me that things would return to normal, that it was the way of the world and that normalcy was the way of life. That the good will always be [...]
