Wow!

I just finished another course and bot are my arms tired. Or should I say head? I had to write a short story, 1200 words! Now I know what you’re thinking; “You’re doing that now!” This was different. This was me having to write something I wasn’t used to writing. Maybe they call it “flexingContinue reading “Wow!”

Here’s something new.

I bought an on-line course in creative writing from the Centre Of Excellence. It was only $30 so I said, “Why not?” Then my sister said, “Are you talking to yourself again?” Moving on… So far it’s made me think of my writing differently after the first lesson. I had to develop a summary ofContinue reading “Here’s something new.”

You know what?

I heard that if you write something everyday, that will help make you a better writer. Just a little bit, something, anything for that matter, like this blog. I’m writing something right now, and you didn’t even know it. That’s ok, I’m wily like that. Don’t be offended. The only way to learn something isContinue reading “You know what?”

I did not expect that.

So I wrote this story and something weird happened. I want to tell you, but I’m afraid I’ll be putting out a bunch of spoilers. So if your curious as to what I’m on about, read the story first. It’s called Tied Up, and it’s in the horror section. Or just click here, anywhere onContinue reading “I did not expect that.”

This is a long read…

…but it’s fun. Now that we’ve all been grounded by this disease, it could be the thing you’d want to read to your kids for maybe five minutes of peace, or as a bedtime story. It’s about wizards, a good one and a bad one. Now, because it’s so long, I may have made aContinue reading “This is a long read…”

A new one, and it’s not my best.

What I mean by that is it’s sad. During the editing process there were certain parts That stuck with me, but I’d rather talk about that later rather than putting out spoilers. Read it, tell me what you think, but don’t cry. You might get tears on your keyboard and screw it up. It’s calledContinue reading “A new one, and it’s not my best.”

I’m an ass!

If you’re a fan you’ll remember how I lamented not having any ideas. But no sooner than I post that, I come up with three. One was an earlier idea I had from long ago (who needs notes). One was a sort of fantasy I had with the school principal. It started as a fantasy,Continue reading “I’m an ass!”

Creativity isn’t easy

I know there are people out there that make a living from it. Writers, photographers, musicians, painters, glass makers, potters, cobblers, tailors, just about everyone who puts their personal stamp on anything. Some find creativity in their cupboard, a jar of mystery, a case of suspense, a tin of humor. So here I am tryingContinue reading “Creativity isn’t easy”

So , that coronavirus, am I right?

Remember when I said I was a photographer? Well I had to turn down a job the other day. It was a birthday party in a night club. That’s right, up all night in a night club at the height of coronavirus season. I had to bow out, as many theaters, arenas, schools, parks, andContinue reading “So , that coronavirus, am I right?”

Did I ever tell you I am a photographer?

Well, yeah. In fact every picture in my blog I shot.It’s a big deal for me. I did work professionally a while back, but that job died. I mean everyone died. Well, it was in New Jersey and moved to Texas, and not with the same staff. Anyway… So when you see an image onContinue reading “Did I ever tell you I am a photographer?”
