Art comes from the soul. It needs to come out no matter what. I believe true artists don’t care how they are perceived. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure they want to make money so they can concentrate on their art, but if no one saw it or read it they would still make it.... Continue Reading →
I have a love for comic books. As a kid, they were my escape from the real world. The mixture of pictures and words carried me away on an adventure I could never have on my own. As I got older, I started to read books on top of the comics. Today I have a... Continue Reading →
To say I like to go against the grain is quite an understatement. I actively look for ways to be different from everyone else. Mostly to my detriment. I have sabotaged myself so many times, it’s embarrassing to think about. Yet looking back, I wouldn’t change a thing. The mistakes I’ve made have helped forge... Continue Reading →
Comics are great, but let's not forget their big brother, books. There’s almost nothing I love more than to sit down and read a comic book. Comics are, when done right, some of the greatest pieces of art you and I can own. When you combine an artist with phenomenal skill and a writer who... Continue Reading →
Will they ever learn? This could be an unpopular opinion. It was a little over a year ago when I wrote a blog talking about writers using their platform to push unpopular agendas in their writing and on their social media accounts. It pains me to report that things are still bad. Some have even... Continue Reading →
I’m trying to find my niche for this blog. I’m a huge comic book fan. The book I wrote(it’s with the editor as of this writing) was conceived as an idea for a comic book. It’s safe to say comics have been a major influence on my life. I’ve been reading a lot of “how-to”... Continue Reading →
This could cause me to lose followers (not that I have many now) but being a writer who leans left is becoming something of a cliche. As of this writing I have over 1200 followers and the majority identify as leftist. You can’t tell me there are no conservative sci fi writers out there. I’m... Continue Reading →
Captain Ray Braxton fought desperately to extinguish the fire raging through the cockpit of his battered spacecraft. The exhaust system was offline, and thick smoke filled the small space, making it nearly impossible to see or breathe. Every time he managed to control one flare-up, another blazed to life. He glanced at the viewscreen, hoping... Continue Reading →
This might cause me to lose points with some people, but I write because the world needs to be entertained. Not scolded. I don’t write to explore the human condition or to point out all the atrocities being caused by large, faceless corporations and/or governments. I’m not trying to start a revolution or cause people... Continue Reading →
Inspiration. It’s that intangible thing that hits everyone from time to time. Most of us recognize it but don’t do anything with it. Some jump at it and start using it but they end up fizzling out just as quick. Then there are those who grab hold of it with both hands and wrestle it... Continue Reading →
