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?

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

Okay, time to bounce back after sorrow and dirge! This one was… unexpected… Let me preface this by saying that I HATE country music… okay rather I hate what country music has become. ‘Devil Went Down to Georgia,’ John Denver, and Johnny Cash are still household names for me. But when pop culture weaves into something more than it should, that’s where we get … Read More Off My Writing Playlist.

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

So… this is a weird one. For those of you not familiar with Nightcore, they’re a group that takes certain songs and sort of… Animizes them. For lack of a better term. By that, I mean they speed up the temp and singing, and sometimes add a little techno background. Sometimes it sounds like Alvin and the Chipmunks singing, other times… It’s actually better … Read More From My Writing Playlist…

So we all know how most people feel about the special remastered editions of Star Wars that are sadly now the ‘official’ editions. The theatrical versions that we all know and love have been relegated to the bonus features on ONE release of the DVDs due to Lucas trying to erase them from history. Most of the fans will tell you that Episode 4 … Read More How ROTJ’s Special Edition Could Have Been Saved

Hi Jim, This may sound silly, but I was wondering if you’ve ever had a hard time killing off a character in your stories? I’m at the point where I’m about to kill one off and I admit that every time I try to write the words, I freeze up. I just spent so much time writing this character and I really like them, … Read More Attachment Issues?

Christ… I can’t believe I’m tackling this one. Metal is such a subjective term and it’s hard to specifically define it. There are also several sub genres of Metal… some more insane than others. So let’s think about this for a moment… what is the makeup of a metal band? A self-proclaimed Metal Purist friend of mine says that the basic metal band is … Read More What is Metal?

I still haven’t decided on a name for this daily installment. Anyway, working title. Today’s submission: Oh yeah, the God himself… the man who corrupted a whole generation and continues to make waves today. Alice Cooper himself. When to listen to this one: Villain creation. Not kidding, I’ve build many a bad guy while listening to this song. Highly recommend it. Also, who here … Read More My Writing Playlist

Seriously Jim, how huge is your playlist!?!?!? … I could probably do this for a good year with what I currently have on there… So I think I will. Plus the bands I like produce new content every year, meaning that I will NEVER run out! Ahem. Angel with A Shotgun. Do I really need to say anything else? Yes, listen to the Nightcore … Read More Off of My Writing Playlist
