Day 11 - Hoopla

I'm currently sitting on my kitchen floor watching my cat eat. She always calls me over with a meow and looks over her shoulder to make sure I'm following her to her dish. The act of watching is super boring, but the time spent is touching and I can type out a quick blog post on my phone.

Such is the world we live in.

On a separate note, we also live in a pretty cool time period. Libraries are somehow still a thing, and they've even gotten better in the digital age. I'm fortunate enough to have a library a couple miles from me that I started donating all my old books to. Other than vanity, they really serve no purpose on my shelves as I probably won't reread most of them since there is no shortage of things to do. Also, if I really want, I can check books, comics, and music out on the Hoopla app, the library's version of Kindle. I've already read a wealth of things (I sometimes ride the bus so the comic side of the app had been great). I say check it out if you haven't already. It's free and only requires a library card. Check if your area has it.

Thankfully, my cat is done eating. Take care reader.

Marching Along

 Greetings! We're cruising along through the first quarter of the year, and let me say, it has been a doozy for the world over. Everything that I've invested myself in as far as a career, hobby/entertainment, and any personal interests, have seemingly taken an uppercut from uncertainty and left me rudderless at sea. Do I care to explain? Sure.     Like many creative types I grew up inside of my imagination and projected what I saw in my head out into the world but either actively daydreaming or writing/videoing/capturing the stories or plots that played out uninterrupted. As a kid, I never envisioned turning my imagination into a business or monetizing it, because, well, I was a kid .  Why would I? After a series of ups and downs over the years (I.E. see life)  I've circled back to my passions and am still enjoying them as a hobby, but have been making strides to also profiting off of my unpaid work. Here's where it gets complicated: The want or need or desire t...

New Year Updates

 Greetings readers, Happy New Year! Behind the scenes I've been steady at work finishing up a number of projects that I'll be ready to release by the middle/third quarter of this year. I'm working on a professional/personal website to merge the two sides of my life into an accessible/public forum. When it goes live you'll be able to listen to a podcast/audio diary that I've been working on for the last year. (It's out there on the internet but is currently anonymous and not being advertised. I'm up to about 50 something episodes and will link it accordingly when I'm ready as well as read/listen to a short autobiography introducing myself. On the professional side I'll have a number of my short stories uploaded, ones that have been in writing contests and a few rough drafts that I thought were fun and want to share. You'll also be able to read about current projects I'm working on like a feature length script witha writing partner of mine and ...

Back in the Reedsy

 Howdy! I hope this blog post finds you well (whoever you are). Most of my posts jump from topic to topic although you'll find some consistency in the creative field since I'm a writer. This week I'm typing away at a short story for a writing contest and it's shaping up to be a good one. I've mentioned the website Reedsy in the past, but if you're interested, check it out at: www.reedsy.com You'll find a wealth of writing tools on their platform on the professional side, as well as writing contests that differ from week to week.     This week is "twists." I'm not generally great with twists, because I don't necessarily write with that intention. I've written some scenes that I felt were great and even had an unexpected payoff but that was only because I wrote myself into a corner. I try to retain a degree of believeability, even if it borders on unreal. It still has to make enough sense to work, but like I said, I write myself into a co...
