The random fantasy character concept generator at the crux of this week’s Terribleminds Flash Fiction challenge gave me, among others, “a foul-mouthed sage is searching for a legendary weapon.” “If this infernal heat doesn’t kill me,” Balthazar growled, “I’m sure the desert would love to fill my lungs with sand.” “Why would the Equalizer be… Continue reading Flash Fiction: The Wandering Sage

Let's Discuss The Mandarin
It should go without saying that the following contains SERIOUS SPOILERS for Iron Man 3. Fairly be ye warned. I’ll put it under the appropriate tags anyway, but I thought I’d remind you.

Writer Report: Recovery Period
I’m trying to think of the last time I was seriously injured. I don’t think it happened in conjunction with anything like flat tires and waiting for payday to roll around, however. It’s just been a comedy of errors here all week, and I’m still trying to roll with the punches. I’ve managed to get… Continue reading Writer Report: Recovery Period

Just a quick update today, folks. As I tap this into my iPhone, I am on a train heading into Chicago, as part of the festivities intrinsic to the 2012 Loomis/Kelly family reunion. It isn’t quite as fancy as it sounds, but it will definitely be a good time. My family is pretty rad, and… Continue reading Live from Chi-town

Everything's Cooler in Space: Saturn
This will probably be my last ‘Cooler in Space’ post for a bit. I’m going to do my utmost to focus on a single major project at a time.
