RoboGirl eBook Kindle Edition Free for the Next 5 Days
I actually thought about waiting on this, because I’m working on drawing a cool cover for RoboGirl, and you can only do the special free promotion on Amazon once, apparently. RoboGirl: Episode 1: Dance Robot, is a sci-fi/romance short story, coming it at about 20 pages in print. Some of my friends balked at me […]
Mind Monkey Part VII and the State of the Union
Unleash The Mind Monkeys Okay so this isn’t really the seventh mind monkey post. It’s actually the second. (Read the first one here.) But my mind monkey told me to call it Mind Monkey VII and I must obey. Here is a collection of some random thoughts that have been coursing through my cortex lately. […]
5 Years. 5 Novels. 5 Films.
I like setting big, stupidly crazy-ass goals. Why? I don’t know. Maybe because secretly I’m a megalomaniac? Maybe because life gets tedious and boring without them? Maybe because I’m f$%-ed up in the head? Whatever the reason is, on January 1, 2011 I declared publicly “2011 will be the year that people everywhere will see […]
The Inner Battle – Remembering to Live It
Lately, I’ve found that when I’ve floundered in life, it’s because I’ve found myself focusing too much of my attention to my Outer Battle, and not enough to the Inner Battle. It’s ironic that I wrote The Inner Battle less than two months ago, and yet I forget to apply it in my own life. […]
Writer’s Nightmares
I’ve been working on a lot of content for y’all, I promise. (Sad that in the English language we have to resort to sounding like Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel just to be able to address people in the second-person plural.) So yeah, I’ve been having a ho down (spelling?!) with my work. But, if you can […]
What Does It Mean To Follow Your Passions? [Part 2: Five Ways To Be Courageous]
Almost a month ago, I posted an article, What Does It Mean To Follow Your Passions? Part 1 (of a three-part series). In it, I used some pretty extreme examples including sex and chocolate cake. (Why does that remind me of so-called “Better-Than-Sex Cake” and how ridiculous a name that is? Sorry, the Mind Monkeys […]
Lessons I Learned From Writing a Novel in 30 Days
I did it! I finished my novel in 30 days. I set out to write a complete novel by my 35th birthday, June 19th, 2012. And I completed. I slew the dragon. Now I get to share what I’ve learned with you. It was a very eye-opening, arduous, and fun adventure. I learned so much […]
Quickie: 36,000 Words Down, 1 Week to Go
I’m sure you needed your quick fix of Daniel today, and I needed to report my progress on my novel. Hence, this “quickie.” About three weeks ago, I set out to write a novel in 30 days, before my 35th birthday on June 19th. Right now I’m sitting at 36,686 words out of a target […]
