Striking While Any Iron Is Hot

I can’t force myself to write. It would just never work. And, I’ll even admit, not every single word I pump out is solid gold. It’s true. When something is kicking well inside me I just have to sit down and write it. It has to come out of me. It’s a feeling I get [...]

Adaptation

I love words. Some words just have a great feel. Lithe. Pseudonym. Anachronistic. They are all cool sounding, and looking, words. I can remember being a kid and just looking through a dictionary. Words have always fascinated me, and apparently I have also always been a huge nerd, honestly, what type of kid sits around [...]

Forced Breaks

I have to go on a school trip for the week. That means three to four days of no writing. I could take my laptop down, or I could take some notes down for different things to work on, but I know it would be no use. Ninety four kids in our nation’s capital for [...]

Procrastination

I went to uni for four years. Lived in Earle Page College. There I learnt to drink beer, lots of it and quickly, write crappy assignments that have nothing to do with the job my qualifications earned me and procrastinate. Sitting in a room trying to work can be the last thing your brain actually [...]

State of the ‘Brown Address

Quickies

N.

Stephen King’s partnership with Marvel just seems to keep getting stronger. He wrote a few pages for an X-Men comic back in the day, my brother has it, Kitty Pride comes into contact with some creepy death figure. It’s dark. Then Marvel step it up, they start pseudo-adapting The Dark Tower into comics. It becomes [...]

Proposal

No, it’s not to a girl, ha. I’m writing up my proposal for Ego, the ongoing series that I started scripting last October. I cannot believe it has been that long since I began on it. I cannot believe that nearly a year later I am still passionate about this series and really want to [...]
