New Beginnings as I Struggle to Change Myself

N

Hey, everyone.  It’s been a while, and that’s completely my fault. This last year has been a struggle, mostly with myself, as I try to find some kind of balance in my life that I’m satisfied with. Let me lay it out…I’m going to be 37 this year, and with that, there’s been a lot of baggage on my mind.  The big one is that my father and his brother both died in...

Time Flies, and Life’s Struggles Continue

T

I swear, I just don’t know where the time goes these days.  It’s already over halfway through November, Thanksgiving is next week, and I am feeling like I’m floundering to get a grip on things. I’ve had some health issues relating to diabetes, but at least for the time being it seems that this issue is being dealt with in a good way.  The doctor changed my medication...

So What’s Up With Me?

S

Where have I been?  Why have I stopped writing? Well, I haven’t stopped writing, I’ve just made a fraction of the progress I’ve hoped for the last couple months.  Work has been picking up more than ever, and I’ve struggled to keep a balance between that and my life outside of work. I have made some progress, in that I’ve actually started on writing the first of my...

Back in the Saddle

B

Officially finished with the other, non-writing project I’ve been working on this past month, so now I’m back to focusing on my worldbuilding and story development. Look for the third entry in my Providence horror series soon.

Update: I’m Going For It!

U

Well, after some time to reflect, I’ve decided that I’m making my main focus first off my science fiction setting.  I keep going back to it more than all the other ideas at the moment, and I really want to explore it more now given the crap being produced for my former two favorite sci-fi universes (Star Wars and Star Trek).  I’ve started a new World Anvil page that I will...

Failure is Always an Option; This Time, It May Have Been The Best One

F

This past Sunday saw my first attempt to run a Call of Cthulhu game.  I’ve run a few horror games before, but this was our first time delving into the the actual CoC system (7th edition in fact).  And I’ll freely admit this is more of a test than a full on, long running campaign, just a little tale about a zombie outbreak in a tourist mecca at the height of tourist season that may or...

The Providence – Part 2

T

“I knew that getting inside the Providence was not a simple task, but I had no idea that it involved two hours of trekking through old drainage tunnels and part of the active sewer; it even involved sliding down a dislodged drain pipe using a rope. I learned from Jacob, one of the urbex guys, that all the manholes around the building itself had been welded shut, and all of the adjoining...

Struggles in Writing – The Plan

S

Plans evolve and change at an almost daily rate sometimes, and that holds especially true with my goals here.  Work and home life seem to take up more and more time, even as I make efforts to try and cut back on my other hobbies to focus on this site.  My weekends literally evaporate before I can get anything done.  I honestly don’t know where the Saturday before last went, and this three...

The Providence – Part 1

T

“I don’t know what it is about that building that draws my attention so much…it’s like it’s always nagging in the back of my brain, and I find myself going out of my way to drive by just to catch a glimpse of it from the freeway.  It’s old, built in the 1920s, back when nobody had a clue that the bottom was going to fall out of the stock market in a few years. ...

Resident Evil 2 REmake REview (Quickie)

R

I’ve spent quite a bit of time with the Resident Evil 2 remake over the past week, and I am pleased to report that it is an absolutely amazing game. Having been a massive fan of the original (the first RE game I played, in fact), I can say with all honesty that I am totally pleased with how this remake came out. Well, aside from that one thing… But, as far as the game itself, the core...
