Oh So CloseJust passed the 70, 000+ mark.Some of my short stories are 30, 000 words. Damn, this is getting into home stretch territory now…
The Genius Thing My Fiance Said At The Bookstore Today:“Why don’t they ever give you a decent cover until you’re dead?”Classic.And I’ve got soooo much writing to do…
Whoo Hoo, Snazzy New Joint…Right, so instead of waiting a couple of weeks to maybe, sort’a, kind’a debate putting up a new site, it appears that much Midnight Oil was burned and the crazy thing is ready now.Of course, since I’m not published yet, have no interviews, awards, or other neat things to put on [...]
An Incredibly Boring SaturdayNothing much to note. Woke up late, wrote.

Is Capcom On Acid?I gotta’ ask, because in light of their recent games, I’m convinced they’re either certified geniuses who are pushing the boundaries of gaming, or else upper management is on something and no one has the guts to rebuke their suggestions.Like at the moment I’m playing a game called Killer 7. I’m [...]
Being Famous Means Repeating Yourself. Ad Nauseum.I’ve been spending some minutes in between writing doing stuff like stalking Alan Moore and Neil-O on the internet again, doing stuff like reading their interviews.
