Changing Style & Setting in Your Writing is Important

06/28/08, 10:45 AM

I think that what has been keeping me so productive over the last year or so is diversity. In the past there have been times when I wrote a lot of things that were very similar, and all that loomed on the horizon was more of the same. That’s a killing blow for creativity. I’ve written before about how difficult…

The Beginning of a Book is the hardest part…except for the end.

06/20/08, 9:56 AM

I’m finishing one project, and beginning another. I’m finding both of these two situations much more difficult to deal with than the two or three that are mid-project and moving along at their own divergent speeds. I don’t think I’ve ever had quite so many things all running at once, and on top of it all, I have the Stargate…

The Many Works in Progress, and Those Nearly Complete

06/12/08, 10:59 AM

I am in one of those places in my career where, due to my own inability to comprehend the word “limits,” I have begun working on a great many things all at the same time.  This, of course, means that my time is split into tiny little worlds.  When I write - when it’s good - my mind goes somewhere…

Stargate Altantis…Trish and I Write another Novel

06/10/08, 9:57 AM

Last year Trish and I Ghost-wrote a novel on very short notice because a friend said he’d gotten into a bind and had too much due all at once.  We learned, of course, that no good deed goes unpunished.  As I understand it, we got less than half the money - wrote the entire book - and now he’s bragging…

The Hand-Made - Hand-Bound Caiman Edition - it BITES!

05/30/08, 8:53 PM

Well, I’m done. I haven’t made the bookstand, but it’s only a matter of attaching antlers to a board and gluing a gator foot in place…the book - the Caiman Edition of “The Not Quite Right Reverend Cletus J. Diggs & The Currently Accepted Habits of Nature” is complete. It’s not perfect…but it’s unique. There will NEVER be one like this…

Antique Jack-the-Ripper Lantern - Ennui & Other Statates of Madness

05/25/08, 11:20 AM

The contest continues, and so does my work on the one-of-a-kind prize edition of ENNUI & OTHER STATES OF MADNESS. I created a tray case, of sorts, from a fancy old candy box - some felt - etc. It’s not great, and will probably not stand the test of time quite as well as the leather-bound, hand-sewn book (I made…

The NecronomIcon - Flash Fiction for the Emoticons

05/21/08, 11:22 AM

Some of you who return often may have noticed a new link on the right side of the page. It’s the NecronomIcon - I thought I’d take a moment to tell you what the heck it is, in case you’re of a mind to check it out.

Over the last few months, I’ve been enjoying the hell out of writing a…
