I'm putting together a coaching business and I need guinea pigs.

For I will fully critique any story up to 10,000 words. In return, all I ask is for a testimonial for my website. Message me.

I have a BA in English lit, an MFA in playwriting, experience working in theater. I've had plays and books produced and published respectively. I even wrote freelance erotica.

Today from the archive - Lost in Translation?

A blogpost from 2001 sharing my experience of having my books translated, in this case, into Dutch. Since then, similar issues have arisen with other languages. It's really interesting when these things crop up.

Inking up my favourite , for a free session tomorrow, to figure out the next key scene in a / game I'm writing. I find drafting extended things like this by hand far more creative and imaginative than typing straight into the computer.

jezebelley3D, to Horror

time. Hi I'm Jeze! Here I plan on focus on a few particular passions- , , and . A trifecta of interests held together with the chewing gum that is my limited vocabulary. I've always found the intersection of these hobbies appealing. Images will be posted along with articles and thoughts if I feel the need. There has been an itch inside of me to get a story/stories out there as well which I plan on weaving in.

I adore retro anything from tech to video games. All of it. I'll definitely be indulging in those things here!

Thanks for taking the time. Eyeballs are an important commodity in today's internet and having anyone interested in reading just a few sentences of what I put out there is a welcome surprise.

This week the well-known author and publishing commentator Jane Friedman picked a beef with Amazon (including its subsidiary Goodreads). She says that “garbage books”, all AI-generated, are “getting uploaded on Amazon where her name is being credited as the author.” (Techmeme)

Today's archive essay "Blood in the Water? Where does it come from?"

Where does the modern writer, living in peace and prosperity, get the inspiration and information needed to accurately convey the blood, sweat and tears of hand-to-hand combat to the reader?

Here's a new video from the Spacedock #Youtube channel about the Orion Drive. I love all the #SpaceShip designs they talk about, and I want to find ways of using them in my #SciFi #writing.

It also has a link to the #ScienceFiction #AudioDrama The Sojourn, which I'll start when I have the time.
