A Week of Progress
Been a nice week of progress for me. Pretty much a week of Log Line and Synopsis writing.

AMACHI: Again!
So, I’ve picked up my epic fantasy novel again, Amachi, that I started back in 2006. This is a project that I’ve started and stopped on over the past six years due to shear fear I suppose. In my mind, the story is so epic and complex that I feel mentally overwhelmed every time I … Read more

NEVER FORGET: You SUCK and you ALWAYS will!
Yeah, that’s right, I said it! You suck, and you always will! And so will I! That is, to somebody in the world. Actually, we’ll suck to hundreds, if not thousands, of people. Why?, because we can’t please everybody. Guess what? Nobody can. You know, the one thing that gets me is when I don’t … Read more
