It’s One Of Those Days

Where I’m staring at the screen of my iPhone, going ‘what to blog about?’ You know I had this idea for a funny story where this guy decides to take up blogging to get away from his life. He doesn’t tell his family and friends he is blogging, and he is blogging about how the [...]

Five Ways Blogging Has Improved My Writing

I talked to this writer through an online game the other day (I won’t mention what game (Not Diablo III, though, I do own it)), and she described herself as a paranormal young adult novel writer. I didn’t ask if she was actually published, but I did ask if she had a blog. I love [...]

Water Between The Ice

Here is a short story I wrote at the begining of the year. There are many things I love about it, and many I am not proud of. If you take the time to read it, I am most grateful! —– Jason took me to the bridge. I held onto the railing as I peered [...]

A Story Of Mice And Men

What I am about to tell you is a sad story, one which has been eating away at me slowly the past couple days. I am inspired to share it after reading Diane Carlisle’s blog http://matrix-hole.blogspot.ca/2012/05/i-saved-baby-squirrel-sort-of.html, and I encourage everyone to read her post after mine. Her post is a heart warming tale, but mine [...]

Five Easy Blogging Tips

I don’t make money blogging. I don’t have thousands of hits a month (lucky if I break 300). But I’ve been doing it for a year now, and I think that to some extent I’m successful. I write stuff for an audience that is pretty non-existent. Let’s be honest here, who is searching the net [...]

A Busy Monday Morning

And there I am, minding my own business when a bee, the size of my thumb, harasses me. Not only am I terribly afraid of bees, and their fowl cousins the wasps, but I am extremely allergic. To the point, I will add, that if I am stung, I will blow up to the shape [...]

Experimenting With Genre Writing

So I watched three seasons of Being Human on Netflix the last two weeks. A good show, I feel, yet it is bogged down with some serious flaws. I won’t get into them. Being Human is a genre show, about a werewolf, a vampire, and a ghost living together, trying to be normal, and as [...]

Project Diary X3

Can you believe it? It’s sprig, for once. One entire week of solid sun and warm temperatures. It has been so warm people are bitching about how hot it is. Bring out the fans. Put away the heavy bed sheets. And start buying ice cream and popsicles. That’s the funny thing about Calgary. There is [...]

The Stars In The City

And I present this month’s Absolute Write blog chain entry. The prompt was… Zombie Apocalypse, I think. I wrote this kinda for it, kinda not. I decided it fit. I may write a part two, haven’t decided it yet. It’s also part of my own ‘zombieverse’ where most of my experimenting occurs. ——– He said [...]

Mass Effect PC Review

To kick of my summer holidays, and to allow a chance for my brain to melt, I began a Mass Effect marathon. I own the trilogy, yet haven’t beaten any of them. In fact, I’ve only played the first game, and never made it past the opening of the game due to many frustrations I [...]
