• Travails…

    Life tends to take pretty strange turns. What was once a sure thing, often leads you to paths you had thought you would not ever tread. Many people are at the benefit of having an easy fork in their road, but some of us look at our choices and have to seriously debate the destination…

  • Fresh Reshuffle…

    So I have taken a little bit of time to work on the website itself to improve itself. I have noticed the menu on the right side of the screen leaps past the visible window which is an ongoing problem I hope to have sorted here soon. Additionally, I am working to improve the overall…

  • I feel that this chapter is truly symbolic of the creative process that most everyone encounters. I especially enjoyed the overly dramatic elements within the scene. I harkened back to my high school and early college days where every project you do is meant to be Mozart, or Spielberg, or even Rembrandt. Every piece whether…

  • Took a break from hammering out Chapter 6 to play with some of my design tools and came up with the Cover Artwork for “Of an Art so Deadly.” The cover for “Separated Sunrise” was a simple matter of splicing together stock photographs with a little bit of recoloring to match everything together. In my…

  • And just like that…

    The river resumes its course. As I said in my previous post, life has many ways of stealing your writing time, energy, and motivation from you. Often times they are needed to be stolen from you.

Deadly Arts has been a very neglected piece, playing second…last fiddle in the entire row to work, children, and maintaining a household. I say neglected, but not abandoned. I…

  • The work we do…

    For many of us, we enter into what we believe to be our dream job. I, myself, have held several jobs that I thought ideal until reality showed me otherwise. In this week’s chapter, I delved a little into my own dichotomy with regards to the work I want to do versus the work I…

  • Routines…

    Routines. Or Rituals? However, you call them are different for every person. I have adapted rituals for my early, 5am, mornings as well as my evenings. I also have rituals after I have accomplished something or made a significant landmark in my own life. Today’s chapter reflects this aspect with our main character, as he…

  • Good evening, wanderers. For me Mondays are always the slowest. I am up at 5am every weekday and oversleep during the weekends. Every Sunday night I have to get to bed much earlier than the two previous nights and it’s always hard to change gears for the week. Unlike my weekend/weekday struggles, the hero of…

  • The Great Wheel Spins on…

    Good morning, my fellow wanderers. Today I begin another story which I hope will thrill and entertain. Depicted is a snapshot of a mildly successful artist who is looking to create the ultimate piece and maybe even opens his own gallery. What would you do to be able to tap into your own ultimate creativeness?…
