THE BIRTHING HOUSE: A CANNON FODDER Review
To begin with, when you read the first sentence of The Birthing House, that’s all you need to know. Going in, it’s that simple. But what lies beneath the surface is far more complex than that simple sentence which opens up a maelstrom of a book, a whirlwind, a catastrophic essay in what the wrong choices and obsessions can do to both a person and a marriage. It’s a powerful book...

– The Muse Of Feline Comedies, Plus 13 (You Figure It Out)—“Two Girls At The Coffeeshop”
I found this on the ground at work today. I’m honestly unsure whether or not it was meant to be left and found or if it was written and accidentally dropped. Of course I work in a...

Elongated.
I feel like my prose is more like valley-girl longwindedness.
Like oh my god, so this guy I’m writing about is having a bit of a crisis, and it just seems to be dragging on and on and there’s no real momentum of any kind, but I’m still in the middle of the action, and you know, it’s the second draft and I’m kind of totally rearranging and rewriting the whole thing,...
It's Christmas.
Many Happy Returns of the Holiday to you all.
This means that, in the next week, we will all inevitably reflect on our personal best ofs this year; I’m going to start working on mine post haste.
After mimosas.
Mmmmmm. Mimosas.

BLACK SWAN: A Cannon Fodder Review
BLACK SWAN finally made it’s way into my town last week, but I discovered this just as I bought my family ticket to go see TRON. So it took me over the weekend to get to it, but last night I finally made the trip to the movies that I was most looking forward to all year.
The film itself is incredible. Once the credits rolled, I immediately began thinking of every morsel of story given to...

– madthoughts
Batman and Robin, Blackest Night, and Brightest Day are all stellar examples of heroism. Blackest Night is the superhero zombie film; I don’t remember any heroes doing anything out of the ordinary to save the day there. And yes, it was bleak, it was violent, it was crazy; but...

Fuck You, Marvel. →
From the article on Comic Book Resources about Marvel’s next event, “Fear Itself”:
“What happens when fear gets so prevalent that it seems the norm?” he said, and added that the line between hero and villain will be blurred… and crossed.
Matt Fraction spoke about the series in another video, adding that the Marvel heroes would be fighting the god of fear....

Currently:
Making the first pass at edits on the 1st Draft of novel.
Rewriting to come soon.
For notational purposes: when I say edit versus rewrite, I mean that to me, editing is correcting grammar and punctuation, and rewriting is actual writing towards completing of a new draft.

The Skinny City blog. →
Maybe I’m feeding the troll who is looking for attention with this blog, but I’d like to make a point.
One thing that depresses me and makes me feel utterly despondent is when young women obsess over being skinny. It’s one thing to be skinny, it’s another thing to be healthy. If the person running this ‘blog’ is serious, then they need serious help....

I remember.
I remember when William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy swam with the whales. I remember when Third Eye Blind released their first album. I remember when having an extra phone line just so we could connect to the internet and make phone calls was considered a luxury. I remember when George W. Bush was elected president. I voted for him but I learned from that mistake. I remember when Superman was killed...
