There are two things about me that regular readers of this blog are already familiar with. One is my love of professional-wresting and the other is my love of all things Star Trek (except for the J. J. Abrams remakes. They never happened in my world-view.) And I won’t even shy away from the fact […]
The most important thing
I was talking about Stephen King’s Dark Tower series the other day and what I liked and disliked about it. (Okay, it was mostly what I disliked, but still…) Like a lot of King’s novels, the books in the Dark Tower series are often way too long, too slow, and full of too many pointless […]

Worldbuilding things I hadn’t thought about before
I’m in the very early stages of planning a fantasy trilogy. It’s been running through my head for a while now, but life and other projects just keep getting in the way. (Note that I’m not complaining about that stuff. A writer’s life involves a constant juggling of priorities between the family, day job, and […]
