My Feeble Attempt At Resolutions

Wow!  We're almost to the end of yet another year.  I don't know about you, but I notice that the older I get  the faster the years go by.   Now, why is that????  Is there a way to slow it down?  If anyone discovers this secret, please let me know!

Like everyone else in the blogging world, I've been contemplating on what I'd like to accomplish for the coming new year.

For the writer in me:

1. Complete Redemption (Part one to the Underverse serial)
2. Attempt to write my very first book review (wish me luck!)
3. Join a local writing club (to expose my face and work...gulp!)
4. Focus on word count instead of days/hours I've managed to write (we'll see if that helps improve my productivity)


On a more personal level:

Sorry, we won't go there (Remember, I'm a figment of my own imagination and refused to dwell in the "real" world)!

Have a safe and happy New Year's!!!

NaNoWriMo Update and Other Tidbits

Here's a quick update to this year's NaNoWriMo:  I fell short of the goal (50k), ending up with a little over 39,450.  But, that's okay!  This story is far from being over; in fact, it is begging me to finish it.

And, I will.

The story idea is strange, but interesting to me.  I plan on posting this as a web fiction soon so keep checking here for the when and the where.

What's the story about?

Well, let's make it short and sweet then.  It's a story about a young girl who initially survived a zombie apocalypse on her world, who would then be rescued (seemingly) by none other than the man in the red suit who took her away to his fantastical realm.  Sounds like a light fairy tale?  It won't be.

Stay turned here for more on this dark fantasy, Tomorrow Falls.

Brad Pitt and Zombies

I'm a big fan of anything zombies, and occasionally I enjoy watching a movie with Brad Pitt.  Then I saw this movie trailer and have made a solemn vow to go and see this when it comes out this summer! 

I admit that I have yet to read the book that inspired this movie; however, I am torn between purchasing the book to read before seeing this movie, or wait until afterwards.

What do you think?

Next Chapter for the Web Serial and a New Post on Horror Fiction

A Poem Share

A poem that the other "me" wrote yesterday:

Garden of Life

The seeds of sorrow
planted in blood and in tears
spring forth hope and joy

2012 NaNoWriMo

After about a three-year hiatus, I will be participating in this year's National Novel Writing Month.  I've been toying between two or three different story ideas, but decided to use NaNoWriMo to finish Redemption.  The question is will the remaining storyline (already posted 20 chapters to the web serial) amount to 50,000 words; but hey, yon never know! 

Some Quotes and Lyrics to Ponder on

  "And so I went through the looking glass, stepped into the netherworld, where up is down and food is greed, where convex mirrors cover the walls, where death is honor and flesh is weak.  It is ever so easy to go.  Harder to find your way back." Marya Hornbach


All things truly wicked start from innocence.- Ernest Hemingway

“Scars have the strange power to remind us that our past is real.”  - Cormac McCarthy


Love waits for me ’round the bend
Leads me endlessly on
Surely sorrows shall find their end
and all our troubles will be gone
And we’ll know what we’ve lost
and all that we’ve won
when the road finally takes me home-"Going Home" by Mary Fahl



 

Contemplating Fan Fiction

Anyone ever tried writing fan fiction?  I'm seriously considering writing a fan fic for Doom.  Stay tuned and I'll let you know when the first chapter has been posted! 

Now Live!

Chapter Twenty for my web serial, Underverse:Redemption, is now live!

Here I am!

It feels like I've stepped off the planet and migrated to a very dark and cold place.  But I'm back!  I've been diligently working on Chapter Twenty for my web serial, Underverse: Redemption, and it still isn't quite ready to go live.  Why is this particular chapter taking so long?

A few reasons.

Aside from the obvious that life tends to throw you curve balls and grenades to side track you, I've been stuck on how exactly I wanted the "city" in the story to look like.  I'm still not one-hundred percent sure so I'm sitting on the chapter for a little while longer before I post it.

Once it's live, there is no going back.  So, I want to make sure this was something that one, I can live with; and two, it makes sense.

My apologies but this particular chapter will be delayed a while longer.

In the Beginning...

Just a short note about this particular blog of mine.

In the past, I've kept several different types of blogs in relation to the "other me." This one I want to be different. I don't want to be just one of those normal writers out there. I want to be "me." But being "me" here is not the same "me" who exists in the so-called "real" world.

Have I lost you yet?

I have? Good!

Welcome to my Nether World!
