Samhain Ghost Post


My question for my co-author this Samhain was what I could do during this coming year to continue to help him heal and achieve what he needs to. His reply was funny and touching, and probably unexpected to those who consider him to be some sort of icon of evil rather than seeing the truth as stated by a friend of his:
"He was a nice guy with a lot of personal… Continue

keeping the wolf from the door

In a few short weeks I will be jobless and incomeless. Prospects for finding paid work in the Man's Land look slim, especially in this tail end of the GFC. Question: can I earn enough money from my writing to feed two adults and one large dog? Answer: not bloody likely considering my stuff is so weird that it gives weirdness a bad name. Still, what else is there? Wait around for the extinction event?

New Strange World Exclusive: Spectral Rant


Squidoo declared this article "Spam Bait." Because I guess I'm trying to sell the ghost's ass? I am not in the business of pimping my spectral friends. The following are his words. Fuck Squidoo for wanting to sanitize what he has to say. I couldn't publish it on Today either. But around here, as long as ther… Continue

Get to Know Me: What Song Do You Love to Dance To?

Thanks to Thom for this cool idea.
You will find that for a crusty aging headbanger with barnacles on her hull, I am actually pretty eclectic in my musical taste.

There isn't any one specific song that I like to dance to but I would surely put Slade's "Run Runaway" at the top of the list of songs that would be fun to dance to.… Continue

Notes

Used Book Rant

Check out my wee little rant at New Strange World Today entitled "Used Books Don't Pay The Bills."
As a consumer I never would have thought about this, and as a consumer I still believe in buying used books. No sense throwing out a perfectly good book that someone might enjoy. My beef is as a self-published author. Self-published authors get screwed big time when folks buy used rather than new copies of… Continue

Twilight as a Feminist Empowerment Tale?

This was my response to John Guilfoil's article at Blast Magazine regarding Twilight and feminism.
I get that young girls (and, frighteningly enough, women my age) are enamored with Twilight. I probably would have been enamored with it myself had I seen it at age 14. Girls do desire a romantic… Continue

451 Press

I have applied to 451press.com to potentially create articles for them in the "Writing" category. I have GOT to start making money off my writing or I am probably doomed to become a lush. This fucking nursing program is the rat's ass. It's great if that's what you want to do--but it ain't what I want to do!

I know exactly how you feel. The passion to write is almost impssible to resist and yet that urge has to be tempered by reality as the bills need paying and not one bugger of a literary agent, or better still a publisher, seem to be the slightest ...

I think that I replied about this on your blog--if I didn't, I suck! How are things going at this point? I'm still trying to find a way to make money off freelance writing. I've written some how-to stuff under my real name at Constant Content. You...

That picture is so utterly overwhelming. I'm sure the motivation to post it is ignorance rather than malice. I don't think everyone, especially the young, understand exactly what the impact of death can be on the living. Perhaps they will gain som...
