Epic Rap Battles of History

I found this youtube station, Epic Rap Battles of History and I have to say, it's been alarmingly bad for my procrastination! This is Shakespeare versus Doctor Seuss. Very, very funny. There are a whole slew of them on the youtube channel, something for everyone!

Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! And really, do check out the youtube channel. They have a lot to offer!

Ira Glass's Words for Writers

Ira Glass's excellent words for anyone in creative work. I remember the first time I found it and it was a relief to hear what he had to say. And I'm glad I got to hear it so early in my own story.

I hope you've enjoyed it and taken something from it too!

A quote for writing

I found a quote that I think it apt for a writing career. Or any sort of career in the arts.

"Its impossible," said Pride. "Its risky," said Experience. "Its pointless," said Reason. "Give it a try," whispered the heart.

Born in the Mouth of an Angel

I've recently taken another look at a short story I published at the beginning of the year: Born in the Mouth of  an Angel. It spent some time on the blog up for free and it had been selling on sites for a while. But I wasn't happy with what it was. I've taken another look at the story idea and decided to develop it further. So I'm creating a serialized novel based on the short story. It'll be an interesting experiment, to see how I do with a serialized novel like this. Should be fun!

All five parts of Book 1 are up on the various sites now and I'll be putting out the omnibus soon, in digital as well as in paper back.

Complicated

I think we like to complicate things when really it's quite simple. Find what makes you happy and who makes you happy and you're set.


This is my thought of the week. When you boil it down to this, life really doesn't seem as complicated. Sure, all the goals and worries and milestones you're waiting for are still there but taking a quick snapshot of your life in black and white can help put things in perspective. It certainly brightened up my perspective!
