Author’s Advice Pt. 11

by

Don’t be afraid to mix and merge. So you have a fairly successful series going, but now you’re experiencing writers block. You have fragments of two or three sequels written, but don’t know where to take them. You’ve even considered starting on a third, but haven’t gotten anywhere with it. You really like the first two and would love to continue one of them, … Read More Author’s Advice Pt. 11

Half-elf description #Fantasy #Fiction #Advice

by

I’ve looked through the different works and various forms of elves and what their half-breed children are like. Half Breeds in some stories look like their human parent, almost completely and I’ll explain why below… In other stories, they are mixed, though in most, they have slightly pointed ears, but otherwise look like humans. So far, there is one consistency; elven genes are recessive … Read More Half-elf description #Fantasy #Fiction #Advice

Author’s Advice Pt. 10

It’s NEVER too late to start over. Are you working on a piece you’ve just lost all love for? Are you writing something that you really didn’t want to write in the first place?

Yes, I met Stan Lee, No It Was Not A Positive Experience #Comics #Marvel #DC #Indie #Fantasy

by

I actually meant to publish this a month ago on the anniversary of Stan’s death… unfortunately I missed scheduling the publishing date. So… yeah, here it is. Sorry for the delay! On this anniversary of Stan’s death, I wanted to reflect on the time I met him. I always caution people about meeting celebrities. Too often, they are not everything you think they’re going … Read More Yes, I met Stan Lee, No It Was Not A Positive Experience #Comics #Marvel #DC #Indie #Fantasy

Spoils of Comic Con… #Comics #Marvel #DC #Indie #Fantasy

by

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, so I thought I’d share the adventure with my readers. To be honest, since having kids, we’ve done less and less of the major area cons (Boston Fan Expo, Connecticon, RI Comic Con, NY Comic Con, Pax East, etc.). We’re considering taking our oldest to one of the larger ones because he’s old enough … Read More Spoils of Comic Con… #Comics #Marvel #DC #Indie #Fantasy

My Thoughts On Boston Comic Con…

by

What can I say, I went last year for all three days and loved it. This year, I wasn’t planning on going.

It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity … Read More My Thoughts On Boston Comic Con…

Heartbreaking…

by

So I recently saw a video online that shot me right through the heart, both as a parent and as someone who used to work with children like this… When we see so many people homeless in the city, it’s easy to walk on by and do nothing. I myself have been guilty of it countless times. It wears on me because I know … Read More Heartbreaking…
