This step is going to be the first part where I’m actually going to be doing the work along with anyone else […]

Interview with Author S.D. Grimm
I don’t do a lot of guest posting on here, but from time to time I do have interest in promoting work that’s interesting to me. S.D. Grimm is the author of the forthcoming YA fantasy novel, Scarlet Moon, from Gilead Publishing. I’ve gotten to know her in the past through the writing community and […]
NaNoWriMo Prep: The Anatomy Of A Novel Part II
Welcome to the second part of our NaNoWriMo series: The Anatomy of A Novel! Last time, on this blog, I mentioned that the next step would be to create some characters to play around in our idea and make a story go. But we’re not ready to do that yet. Before we can get to […]
The Five Books That Got Me Interested In Writing
I’m going to take a brief detour from my NaNoWriMo prep, as today I started thinking about when I became interested in writing, and what pushed me to it. Honorable mention has to go to the television show, Babylon 5, as reading those scripts opened my eyes to in depth story telling at a young […]
NaNoWriMo Prep: The Anatomy Of A Novel Part I
After my last post, I received a question asking: how much prep can you really do for NaNoWriMo? And that’s a really good question. I’m aware that there’s different types of writers out there, some people just write and go, letting the flow take them where it needs to. This really isn’t for a writer […]
A Book, NaNoWriMo and You!
I wrote a book over the last year or so (did a few drafts of it), and in the editorial process my editor, Jennifer Brozek, did actually take out all of my left-out oxford comma instances and put in commas, which she cannot do on my blog! Muahaha. Yes, I laugh in sinister manners over […]
Star Trek: Enterprise Rewatch (Through Season 2 Mini-Review)
I’ve mentioned on various social media in the last couple months that I’ve been rewatching Star Trek: Enterprise, which was rebranded as simply “Enterprise” from the onset to try to appeal to a younger, hipper, I have no idea what they thought they were doing with either that or the theme song, now that […]
On Space Opera
Space Opera has been a sub-genre that’s excited me since I discovered the subgenre of Science Fiction at about 12 years of age, when I first discovered Babylon 5 on television. Truth be told, I knew of it much earlier through Star Wars, but I didn’t recognize that as space opera until much later. All […]
MLB Trade Deadline Winners and Losers
The Rich Hill Sweepstakes is officially over! I’m going to include the last couple weeks in general in this, as this all started with the Chapman trade from the Yankees to the Cubs. But who did the best? Who did the worst? Here we go, starting with the losers this year:
Star Trek Beyond Expectations
I went into Star Trek: Beyond unsure if I was even going to see the movie. The Star Trek reboot has been wholly underwhelming so far, Justin Lin (Fast and Furious) did not instill confidence in me as a serious director, trailers looked atrocious. Star Trek (2009) created a new Trek universe, one with more […]
Summer Reading List
As most authors, I’ve found it’s a bit harder for me to want to read adventure-style Science Fiction or Fantasy while I’m in the middle of writing. It led me to a period where I didn’t read a ton over the first 6 months of the year. I hope to change that this summer! I’ve […]
New Star Trek Series: Captain Casting Wish List
Baycon is coming up this weekend in the San Francisco Bay Area ( http://baycon.org/bcwp/ ), with the theme “It’s all about the Space” featuring guest of honor and star trek alumni, David Gerrold. Because of this, and some speculation I saw, I decided to put my list together of who I’d like to play the next […]
