Some of you may think I’m being hyperbolic in saying this. However, my wife and I recently saw this movie. I’d been dying to see it for a while because I’m a huge WW2 history buff and a horror … Read More Is Shadow in the Clouds the WORST WW2 Movie Ever? #Writing #Opinion #WW2 #Movies #Chloe Moretz #Rant Warning

“Dear Jim, I’ve been writing a romantic fantasy story for a while now. Things were going great until I found out that my own relationship is not what I thought it was.

Basing Characters on Loved Ones #Fantasy #Fiction #Advice

Writing characters based on loved ones is a mistake. A BIG mistake every time for a multitude of different reasons and it could not be any more clear why as with the recent Frank Cho vs. Robbi Rodriguez dispute. Allow me to explain, Robbi Rodriguez is one of the brilliant people who created the now-extremely-popular series Spider Gwen.
