Random thoughts about what I’m up to. Stuff that involves my life.
So its time to get back to writing. I finished editing the Storm but haven’t made all the changes I marked on my 2nd draft to the electronic file. Its hard to edit but fun to write. I wish i could pay for an editor but until the books start sustaining themselves I guess I’m […]
Finished “The Pass” Finally!! I should probably type in all caps. I feel like celebrating, but I know there is a lot of work still to be done. I just can’t believe its finished. It’s so much longer and more in depth than my first short story. I’m just really happy right now. […]
So normally I don’t make these. I never keep them and they really just make me feel worse about myself when I fail to hold up to one of them. But if I can have one resolution. One goal for 2016. Its to finish the pass and publish it to Amazon before I revisit this […]
So I’m trying my best to get back into the writing habits I had. I’m in the last part of my story “The Pass.” I’m hoping it will finish up in the raw form around 70 thousand words. The reason I’m spending my time writing here instead of there, is my desire not […]
Just finished reading my first ever story. It took about 2 hours. I apparently use the phrase “a bit” a bit too much. Still it was a good read. I’m probably supposed to be my own worst critic, but Stephen King was right. When you read your own stuff. Stuff you stayed true to and […]
I find I’m becoming less and less driven to keep writing on The Pass and instead spend time on the Mothers Les Paul story. This is kinda a bad thing as the blog started out as a place to put the extra writing I had all bottled up in my head. So after this story […]
Totally left out a scene I’d wanted to put in the story before he went to meat up with Gabby. Oh well huh? The crazy thing about blog stories is the really live aspect of it. I’m going to have to find a way to work in what I wanted to without having to resort […]
So I’m trying to make an image gallery for you guys with some older digital art and its not looking so good. I’m not sure why but we’ll see what we can do. To be honest if these little things keep up I’m thinking I’m going to have to change my theme. I’m going to […]
I’ve invited a few of you guys from my Facebook. I was wondering what you thought of me going more public with that. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I was also going to bring this up on Twitter and Instagram. More hits is a good thing right? Right now it looks like I have about […]
So I had around 80 registrations for the site so far and almost all of them looked to be made by bots. I was unaware bots were capable of creating registrations. Luckily there are no link’s allowed in postings so they were unable to post anything that would show a link to yet another “Ugg […]
Sorry about no Mrs. Stephens today. Going to be too busy to write some more. It will continue tomorrow and wrap up soon. Special thanks to Vash for being the first official comment owner. Cheers
Looks like these were disabled when I was starting up the blog way back when. I must have done so to prevent spammers. If I had a dime for every “Click here for gear pro camera cheep!” or “Ugg boots on sale here!” I’d have at least 60 cents by now based on my registered […]
So all this week I’ve tried to get more than just 1000 words in on The Pass. I’ve noticed it takes a bit more time to get extra words in. I don’t want to get to 1000 words and think I should do another 500 just for word count. At the same time I’m really […]
I’m not sure how many of you guys actually type with the traditional methods. And by that I mean spreading your hands out on the keyboard like they were meant to be when originally designed. I took typing in high school. I think I got to like 23 wpm by the end of semester. Back […]
I usually don’t write on the weekends so I noticed my hit count dropped to a measly one. I think that might have even been me I can’t really tell. Anyway who cares. This is more about just making sure I write something down every day instead of letting my writing just get stagnant. So […]
Thought I’d put a nice little snip of the current project here. If you have any feedback please feel free to share it. Bare in mind this snip is just really raw. When I write I do so without thought to going back to correct grammar or spelling unless its simply unbearable. Hope you enjoy. […]
So I recently received a Das Keyboard. Its the 4th gen model with the blacked out keys and I have to say its amazing. I got the “blue” switches, which have a clicky type of sound with every key press. I don’t know if its just the fact that its mechanical or the actual lack […]
So I’m wondering what to write here and I have a few story ideas. There’s an assignment in Stephen Kings book on the craft that gives you a senario and then adds a twist before saying go. So I could start writing that. Or we can go with another idea. If your one of my […]
So thoughts on what you use to make your stories. I’m curious as to how many of you outline your story before you begin. Some people swear that’s the way to best make a story flow and get through it quickly. I was on Amazon yesterday and noticed a book promoting typing around 5,000 to […]
So after a bit of time I’ve finally finished customizing this theme to what I wanted. Hats off to Smart Cat for the initial design. It was really attractive on his demo page. Check it out. I suppose I should tell you a bit about myself. I’m a bit of a nerd who loves to […]
