A number of years ago I asked myself a question when watching an alien invasion movie. What if humanity lost the war? And after all when faced with a race capable of reaching our planet with war weapons... it would be silly to think we would win. From that question and one more (namely: what … Continue reading What if the Aliens won?

Accepting a Knife to the Kidneys (With a Smile)
Taking a knife to the kidneys with grace is an art form. And by knife to the kidneys I mean, of course, taking a critique. I’ve ranted before on the different type of critiquers and how some of them honestly just aren’t helpful and I still believe that. Critiquing is an art that’s learned, (a … Continue reading Accepting a Knife to the Kidneys (With a Smile)
Covers, Covers, Covers (and a dose of Nano)

The truth is I write a lot and … Continue reading I Put Words on Paper (or Computers) so I Write Words

For two years now, I’ve been trying to regrow some rose bushes the previous owners of our house cut down. I spray them (to keep the bunnies off.) It rains. The bunnies eat them.
