Four Years...
It's been that long since I've physically seen my ex, as she was quick to point out today in a text after about six months of silence. Still I texted her back, much more relieved that I don't have to worry about what she's doing with herself when I'm not there. A lot changes in four years. I went from being an inept, bumbling intellectual to an ( Read more... ) -
Fly you to the moon and back...
There's been a lot of interest about the 50th anniversary of the first human spaceflight. I can understand that we got so far but why did we stop? Am I the only one wondering why, 40 years down the road, we have yet to land a living exploration team on Mars? I know the atmosphere is toxic, but We've overcome that by the use of (flimsy) space suits ( Read more... ) -

Rainfall in torrential buckets
Rain didn't just fall today, it poured down, soaking everything in its wake. Not knowing how monsoon rainfall goes, this is a close to feeling it as I can get. Sometimes, rain's quite relaxing, when you're at home, in bed with a nice cuddly blanket and a book or a cup of hot cocoa. Sometimes it's the bane of writing existence, when you can't stay ( Read more... ) -
In and Out of love
It's said that the hardest time to start working is when you least feel like it. I find myself in one of those moods today that writing feels more like a chore than anything else. I WANT to do it, I know I SHOULD do it, but the will to do it just isn't there. Still, I shall persevere and start work on a massive project on a day when I feel least ( Read more... ) -
Looks like you been thinkin' about ditchin' me...
You know that there are times in a writer's life that you feel like getting rid of a project you had such passion for. The thing is, some of those unfinished, aborted fetuses might have ended up being a masterpiece if it was given a chance. Sometimes, searching through the sawdust on the floor, you come upon a roughly hewn bit of wood that you ( Read more... ) -
Rain
Carnival season is coming to a close and the solemnity that is Lent is quickly approaching. The sour bit about this is that it's overcast and rainy today. Usually Carnival means lots of bright sunshine, but rain doesn't deter those who seek to have a good time. Trinidad carnival is an amazing time and an amazing place. I seriously and ( Read more... ) -
Eons and Eons
When I decided to try for becoming a published author, I figured that eventually, one day I would need a blog. I didn't think I would be able to update it frequently and at some point over the last two years it fell by the wayside. Now I find that without something to post samples of my work on, I am at a disadvantage when compared with other ( Read more... ) -
Stephen King's Greatest Fear
So i may or may not be right about this, but I believe that he's very afraid of slipping unexpectedly into a parallel dimension. The old Twilight Zone episodes must have been hell for him to watch ( Read more... ) -
The First One
It's been a long time since I've been writing, but I finally decided I wanted to put my stuff out there. I submitted what I considered my best piece of work to Aphelion Magazine and they accepted it for publishing. My thanks go out to Aphelion for including this story in their October issue and I hope I can provide more to them for future editions ( Read more... )
