The Burden of Science Fiction
I want to start this post by acknowledging the weight of it's title. It's a heavy concept to ponder as a writer, that Science Fiction has a world burden. We're used to being the dreamers, the "what if" engine of our generation. But if you really look at what I just wrote, you've already accepted the mantle I'm proposing, without even feeling that weight pass to you.

Study, son. (A Poem)
I've always been a big fan of trying out different styles of writing, as a means of expanding my horizons as a writer. I've written short little pieces, most of which I will never share, to try out ideas or new styles. Some of them work, some of them don't, but I'm trying to be more transparent about my process in the hopes that I might share something that helps get someone else over the hump

AR Face Skinning Web App-FaceSubstitute
Here's a short video of me playing around with FaceSubstitute, a cool web app that let's you replace your face with another's. It's a cool (albeit limited to the face) demonstration of what I refer to in pre://d.o.mai.n as a "AR skin". And it's surprising how well it can work at times. Imagine this technology built into sunglasses, running from a wireless connection to the cell phone in your

Alex Laybourne's Diaries of the Damned!
I don't do this often, but Alex is a good friend and one hell of a writer, so when he asked me if I could help spread the word about his upcoming release I didn't hesitate. He's one of the hardest working writers I know (No joke, due to the time difference he usually has a few thousand words in the bank before I've even made it out of

Official Cover Reveal-pre://d.o.mai.n!
Welcome to the official cover reveal for my new novel pre://d.o.mai.n! (Click on it to make it bigger or right-click and open it in a new tab.)
I contemplated waiting to unveil this. I thought about hanging onto it until I was closer to the official release of the novel, but I decided that at that point I'd really rather have you be focused on the story, and not the kick ass cover I've

The Power of Fiction.
In a rare daytime post (day off, woot!) I've decided to touch on something that sometimes gets overlooked when writing entertaining fiction-taking a stand on something.
There are plenty of novels out there that were written merely as entertainment, and that's fine. Fiction is, at it's core, entertainment. But a novel is also an author's platform, their soapbox to speak out on things that they

The Ultimate Writing Desk-Part 2
Well, here's a short visualization of the progress I have made so far. Obviously, this is a pre-visualization and not the actual desk, but I'm a firm believer in "measure twice, cut once", so I'm going to be designing this all in 3D from with Blender ( www.blender3d.com ) Once I have this finished, I'll render out a better shot of it to show you how it will all work, the size of it and how it

The Ultimate Writing Desk-Part 1
I've been thinking more and more about writing long term these past few weeks, and I've come to several conclusions.
One, I need to write more. The others? Maybe another time.
I started off by listing the reasons that normally hold me back from turning a 500 word well, at least I made some progress today session into a 5000 word session that leaves me spent like a recent Ebola survivor.
