And… I’m Done With Star Trek

Go ahead, oust me from the Geek Community with pitchforks and torches. I don’t care. This is the final nail in the coffin. First it was the 2016 San Diego Comic Con Star Trek Panel that was nothing more than a boring Social Justice tirade by Producer Bryan Fuller. I watched it online, but everyone who was there that I know, told me that it … Read More And… I’m Done With Star Trek

Soul Siphon (Book 1 of the Vengeance Doctrine), Sample Chapter

I   “What happened?” “I don’t know, he just started convulsing. His skin is becoming discolored!” “Get him into room 2.” Mica could feel his body slipping away. He tried to scream, but Adramelech would not allow him enough control over his own muscles to do it. He could feel a burning sensation in his chest just under where the crucifix on his neck … Read More Soul Siphon (Book 1 of the Vengeance Doctrine), Sample Chapter

Top 5 Star Wars Fan Films

So over the last few months, I’ve taken to downloading Star Wars fan films onto my computer and sort of arranging them in order of the timeline. I’ve accrued about 30 videos from YouTube and absolutely love them. Today, I wanted to share my top 5 with you. Now…  before I do that, what are my standards? Well they are fairly easy: Actual Honest … Read More Top 5 Star Wars Fan Films

Off Of My Writing Playlist

Yeah this should come as no surprise to anyone. This is Tobias Sammet’s band. For those that don’t know, Sammet is the creative genius behind Avantasia and a number of other Metal performances. He’s lent his talents to several other creative works and compilations as well. This is simply one of his latest songs, but I encourage everyone to look into his other work… … Read More Off Of My Writing Playlist

The Star Wars Blend

As a lot of you know, I have a standing theory that I continue to profess will come to fruition… Supreme Leader Snoke is none other than our Star Wars Rebels hero, Ezra Bridger. Please see my post ‘Star Wars: The Search for Snoke’ on that theory for the evidence. So one of the primary arguments I’ve heard against this theory over and over … Read More The Star Wars Blend

Visual Writing?

Hi Jim, I’m having trouble writing a few of my characters. I have a picture in my head of how these people should look, but I’m having trouble translating that onto paper. Please help! Thanks, Mili Hi Mili, All right, the best thing you can do is make a visual of these characters. Do you have someone in mind that they are modeled after? … Read More Visual Writing?

Star Wars Episode 2… What Could Have Been

Okay I’m not going to lie, Episode 2 was a major letdown. However, what made it even worse was when this fan-made trailer came out… Yeah… tell me that wasn’t more awesome than what we saw in theater!? Keep in mind, I wasn’t a film buff back when this was made. So there was a lot of movies that i hadn’t seen… so for … Read More Star Wars Episode 2… What Could Have Been

Unpopular Opinion: The Phantom Menace Wasn’t A Bad Movie

  Shaddap! Okay we all remember Episode 1 being the most anticipated movie in almost all of history. Fans were nuts! Action figures literally flew off of the shelves (I think I still have a few) and people were ready for Star Wars fever. We’ve been without a new movie for over a decade and were itching for this. What we got… did not … Read More Unpopular Opinion: The Phantom Menace Wasn’t A Bad Movie

From My Writing Playlist

So death and/or despair. Hoo boy… um… well… I’m going to give you a few before I go back to Romance tomorrow. I suppose I should post this one for death: What the hell??? Before you all go scratching your heads, hear me out. I’m not referring to the entire song. Just the opening vocalist. Still don’t get it? Listen to the opening vocalist … Read More From My Writing Playlist

Off My Writing Playlist

No Junjou Na Kanjou… let me come right out now and say this… I don’t speak Japanese. I never have. I tried to… but foreign languages are not my strong suit. I successfully learned Latin, and still botch it up on a regular basis when trying to speak it. Then what are you doing listening to this? Do you have to understand everything in … Read More Off My Writing Playlist

An Unpopular Opinion: Masters of the Universe

As I got older and the internet became a thing… imagine my surprise when one of my childhood favorites didn’t do very well at the box office. I mean I suppose that I shouldn’t be surprised, given the lack of sequels, but I loved this movie. It is, in my opinion, one of the better fantasy movies to come out of the 80s. Oh … Read More An Unpopular Opinion: Masters of the Universe

Death’s Work-Around

Well we’ve got a lesser known, yet equally cheap gimmick for you; take the character from another reality!
