And once again: The story about the twins… Now I don’t like it. It seems I can’t work on a story for any longer than a few days or I start to dislike it. To see all the inadequacies of it. But maybe that’s a good thing. Maybe that’s exactly what I need to tell [...]

Opposites Attract

I read three quarters of a story called “Opposites Attract” on Nifty today. One sentence the author wrote — something like “bits of electronics that would have one day become a computer” — made me suspect that he was writing a story we’ve all heard before. A little bit later, the non-POV character mentioned that [...]

I’ve started writing again. Of course I always say it, but I may actually finish this time. As is true with so many of my ideas for stories, this one formed in the nebulous region of my mind that rules over the place between asleep and awake. I can’t remember what the seed was, since [...]

Well, such momentum couldn’t last forever without effort. It’s been hard for me to come to this blog recently. I’ve had things to write, but I just didn’t feel like writing them. Yet again, however, I am determined not to let this endevor fail. I will continue this blog.
Part of the problem is the video [...]

It’s been a long time since I wrote anything here. And while plenty has happened, I feel like there really isn’t any story to tell.
I’m fairly certain that last Wednesday was the last day I’ll ever see the tray taker boy, since the busy season is pretty much over now. I’ve been in the Chase [...]
Abandonment

Today i abandoned another story. I’d say which number, but I have no clue. I’ve abandoned too many to remember them all. Every time I start one, I think, “this is the one! It has real potential. I’ll finish this one for sure.” Then I don’t.
