REALITY & WRITING: Peaceful Co-existence
The practical creeps in with the day to assume its rightful place accorded by its need. Phones cannot remain unanswered, growling stomachs cannot go unfilled, money must be earned to pay for food and shelter. But between the hours, time … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY & WRITING & NEW MEDIA: The Weirdness Grows
I realize that with job applications out I should be more intellectual–if not just plain cautious–in my postings, but you know, you just can’t stop the flow sometimes. Note to potential employers: Please go directly to the Literature Category without … Continue reading Continue reading
WRITING & REALITY: Images of Place
Okay, it’s obvious that the mood of today is a strange one with glimpses of projection and awe at the possibilities. Thinking of a place back in time that I visited yesterday–my childhood home. A bit different, with furniture topsy … Continue reading Continue reading
WRITING: Border Crossing
Getting even more frustrated lately with my writing. Stories that open themselves to such potential are wrapped gloriously in words but tied in streams of boredom that prohibit entry. The gift remains unwritten and unseen. There is a line we … Continue reading Continue reading

WRITING: Pinching Buds
I study the petunias. Some vibrant pink and others royal purple, but more, the difference in their growth and style. Bushy or leggy, to pinch or not to pinch in order to encourage growth? The salvias are more alert and … Continue reading Continue reading

LITERATURE & NEW MEDIA & STORYTRON: Attitude
In learning new media methods and means via both background technical aspects in order to write to it, and by addressing it as a reader, I am beginning to suspect that not only writer consideration of the diversity of potential … Continue reading

NEW MEDIA & REALITY: Magical Realism
Meant, after last night’s dream, to finish up the main thrust of the prior posting. To compare the odd abilities for magical transformations occurring within a setting of reality in our dreams. Inspired by a dream and the potential of … Continue reading Continue reading
NEW MEDIA & REALITY: Similarities
After just two hours of sleep, I wake from dreaming, not a frightening nightmare, but a scenario that bothers me because I know its basis is somewhere in reality. Enhanced by magical realism, where a three story building becomes so … Continue reading Continue reading

WRITING: Babbling Brooks and River Rocks
Funny, the story I’d just finished had been started in a class and is about a writing class. Funny that this current wave of storylines and the words to write them occur now. The housepainters next door are still playing … Continue reading Continue reading

WRITING: Getting Published
Please don’t mind if I blow my own horn–I don’t often get the chance. One of my poems, Halloween, has been accepted and is available in the online journal, Bewildering Stories, Issue 203. If you get the chance, check out … Continue reading Continue reading

NEW MEDIA & STORYTRON: Discoveries
First, on Facade: Just another little experiment with the program, that of minimalizing interactivity–totally against the purpose of the piece. Responded to questions from Grace or Trip, but with basic yes or no answers. At the first sign of the … Continue reading Continue reading
LITERATURE: Reading Downtime
No surprise, I’ve too much on my plate and haven’t been able to zip through any readings and reviews lately. Once more, just as with food, my huge appetite has forced me to take smaller bites of each genre in … Continue reading Continue reading

STORYTRON & WRITING: Character & Resolution
Though I’m not quite ready–and neither is the SWAT program–I’m going to follow a suggestion made and enter the characters and storyline into SWAT and use them as the learning base. It may provide a more intimate and focused grounding … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY?: Rhythm
Thinking today of my nephew and his upcoming wedding next month. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to see him marry his most lovely lady because of the situation hanging over my head with his mother. But I remember dancing with … Continue reading Continue reading
