Writing For Comicbooks
I’ve been a full-time comicbook reader since I was 13. I read my first book when I was 7 when a dog-eared copy of an issue of The Brave And The Bold came into my possession. I’ve had many RPG publications of the superhero variety. I founded an APA about comicbooks in 1990 and a […]
Wrestling: an Alternate Fighting Style
May Not Be What You Think Before you brand me a fool. hear me out! I’m not saying this is real. I’ve been watching it for nearly 40 years and always knew it was orchestrated. It’s like stuntmen in movies, except matches sometimes go for longer. No matter, wrestlers can show you a lot about […]
Making Snow-Mageddon Useful
I was shut-in today (Feb. 13, 2019) due to the record snowfall outside (for my American readers it was more than 1 foot of it. It’s 2 days later when I finish this post, Feb. 15.

Why I’m an indie author re-visited
I’ve been suffering “blog burnout” for some time. To counteract it I’m rewriting older posts with some new content as well. (Originally Posted on June 14, 2016) If I was under a contract to a big company, I could only write the books that I was under contract for. I could write other things, but I’d likely have […]
My final post of 2016: Reflections
Here are my reflections on the year passed… I haven’t posted here since early October. Blog burnout is as self-doubt in writing. I’m experiencing both at the same time. Lucky me. Part of the Bad Year 2016 has been a bad year for many of us. Music icons have died. Many. Celebrities in many other […]

The word ‘dramedy’is a combination of ‘drama’ and ‘comedy’. As a genre, it combines them […]
