KNOCK. KNOCK. KNOCK. Silence. KNOCK. KNOCK. KNOCK. Sounds of movement. Sounds of objects shuffling. The distinct clinking of arms being readied is heard. A spy-hole opens and a deep, gravelly voice grumbles, “Go away.” “Sir, I am from ‘Warrior of Fortune’ Magazine. You agreed to an interview for this month’s cover story.” A watery, bloodshot […]
I write for many reasons. The most pleasurable is the power of creation that words hold. However, sometimes I write because I am being plagued by ideas that I can’t seem to get rid of in any other way. When this happens, writing is essentially a catharsis. The results are often somewhat dark or rant-ish. […]
We all have our Holy Grail. Some of us may even have more than one. What it is may be different for each of us, and some may not even be aware that they are seeking one … but we all have one. My personal Holy Grail has many different names, but no matter what […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It has often been my experience that when something necessary to my life is imminent (or more likely NEEDED), I will see signs of it everywhere. I need a change of scenery? Everywhere I look will be words like change and travel, or images of all the places that I would love to visit. This […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I seem to be in the process of reinventing myself (yet again). If you have followed this blog at all, (or any of my slew of OTHER blogs), you will realize that this seems to happen a lot … so much, in fact, that it is questionable if I actually exist. It is a distinct […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Some may view me as a ne’er-do-well and a lay-about. That’s only fair, since I often view said folk as having generally lost the plot. Either way, I have most definitely mastered laying about, though I am not so efficient at ne’er do welling. This basically means I have a LOT of time on my […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Life is ultimately about change. This is no great revelation … a simple statement of observable fact. So why do I start my post with a statement of the obvious? Ultimately, because I need to start SOMEWHERE, and that is what worked for me. Yep, folks, I am once again on a ramble. Hope others […]
The more I am becoming a writer, the less I seem to write. Odd that. My current status as man on walk-about has me doing more thinking about what I want to write than actual writing, which is not very productive and rather frustrating too. But I seem to be slipping back into an actual […]
I have been spending the last several months of my life pretending to be a writer. I have been wandering here and there, and maybe even a little hither and yon, in pursuit of The Book, while very slowly writing said book. But now that pesky woman known as Mother Nature has decided enough of the warm […]
I seem to finally have slipped back into creative mode. Especially in the last few days. First I had my recent video creation, and then I came up with my creative way of exercising for my upcoming adventure. It seems only appropriate to keep that creative mojo going, and return to the 100 Word Challenge […]
