Writing Prompt Challenge: Start a novel

In order to combat my writer's block due to fighting my mopes, I have decided to give writing prompts another shot. So, I opened my email, and Writer's Write had this eclectic mix of words with which to start a novel. Louise and Edward were looking at the penguins in the exhibit while Toby tapped… Continue reading Writing Prompt Challenge: Start a novel

Star Trek: How the Writing Failed

Since I was a child, falling asleep in the drive-in during Star Trek, The Motion Picture, I have been a casual fan of the franchise. By casual fan, I mean I have watched the shows and movies. I have even watched the cartoon. I have played the MMO. I do not deep dive into the… Continue reading Star Trek: How the Writing Failed

Genecy: Vol. 1 Review

I was approached by the writer of this comic to review the two volumes his team has produced. I purchased both volumes. After reading and going over the lettering and art, here is the review. This volume had a team of three people. The first thing I noticed was the lack of an editor for… Continue reading Genecy: Vol. 1 Review

El Krudo: Volume 1 Review

I did a call out to comic creators asking if they wanted their material reviewed. The writer of El Krudo answered, and even though I said I would be more than happy to pay for the comic, he graciously sent me what he had for free. Now that the disclaimer is out of the way,… Continue reading El Krudo: Volume 1 Review

Masters of the Universe Revolution Ep. 1: Review

Of Apes, RPGs, and Unity, the engine who chose poorly.

Sorry for not posting a newsletter last week. The brain was foggy and I couldn't get it to clear up at all. I did manage to get an interview of sorts for this week. Is the Unity engine on the chopping block? After its announcement this past week, many people think it might be. Artists...… Continue reading Of Apes, RPGs, and Unity, the engine who chose poorly.

Screecher: Volume 1 Review

This is the second book from Phoenix Press. This one I paid to read. Their first, 2100 Samurai, was reviewed on this blog some time ago, the first volume. This is a decidedly different story from the samurai saga, but is it one worthy of being read? That is what I asked myself as I… Continue reading Screecher: Volume 1 Review

Winnie the Pooh Demon Hunter: Volume 1 Review

When Winnie the Pooh became public domain, I imagined people adding to the adventures of Pooh and his friends following in the footsteps of A.A. Milne. I did NOT expect the movie Blood and Honey, nor did I expect an indie creator to place them in an entirely different world and turn them into demon… Continue reading Winnie the Pooh Demon Hunter: Volume 1 Review
