Can’t We All Just Enjoy Star Wars?

The answer, of course, is no! No we can’t. Because Star Wars is a major phenomenon, it was the first blockbuster, and we can’t tolerate any mistakes discrepancies, or anything being out of place from how we view Star Wars to be. Sigh… Okay look, I hate to burst everyone’s bubble, but to all of your Star Wars purists (snobs) out there: Star Wars IS … Read More Can’t We All Just Enjoy Star Wars?

Another Abandoned Work… Taryn, The Legacy (Chapter 5)

V After dinner, Taryn went back to her room to change. She looked through her wardrobe to try and decide what to wear. Elven semi-formal or human… Her closet was made up of both human and elven attire.

Another Abandoned Work… Taryn, The Legacy (Chapter 3)

III   “Today is going by so slowly… too slowly…” Tired of conversing with Sentinel, Taryn shut him down and lay back on her bed for a few hours.

Another Abandoned Work… Taryn, The Legacy

So this is another one… sort of a sequel to Magnifica. I’m currently working on a whole new series and am sort of cleaning house with old ideas that frankly, I haven’t been able to go anywhere with. This is the most recent one, which actually came close to being a complete story before I just ran out of steam with it. These chapters … Read More Another Abandoned Work… Taryn, The Legacy

When to start?

“Hi Jim, I’ve had a lot of ideas flying around lately, but not all of them are that great. Often times I find myself writing out some of my ideas only to almost immediately hit a road block.

Magnifica 4: Dark Redeption vs. Taryn

So for the most part, my reader base is used to me giving them answers to their queries about various topics in literature… or hearing me ramble on about whatever topic I can branch from my writing. Well… today I wanted to do something different. I have two separate stories that I’ve been working on and am considering as the sequel to my first … Read More Magnifica 4: Dark Redeption vs. Taryn
