To any of my friends who still have a link to the former Nintendo gaming Tumblr blog, It’s Dangerous to Go Alone, which was formerly housed at the URL itsdangeroustogoalone.com (I’m looking at you, Jenn), or any of you that may have that site in their RSS feed reader, just a fair warning that the […]
Writing out chapter three of my novel longhand. Which is not ideal, because A) my handwriting is terrible, and B) my hand cramps up something fierce after only a few minutes of writing. But it’s marginally better than writing on my computer, which usually consists of roughly 2% writing, and 98% surfing Facebook and Tumblr. […]
paulftompkins: Libraries are a good thing to support, I think. I am of the opinion that they may serve to decrease the level of ignorance in the world rather than increase it. We’re probably all set, ignorance-wise. I bet we could afford to go the other way for a while, see how that works. I […]

There was a knowing look on Elder Ro’s face. A look that Logan instantly recognized. It was a look of pity. One that suggested to Logan that the Desdemonian elder likely felt at least some amount of sympathy for the young helpless boy whose father had been missing for far too many days. Logan hated […]
Novel update
I’ve mentioned before that my 9-year-old son and I are working on a fantasy novel together, aimed at his age range. I’ve just finished chapter two last night, clocking in at around 3,000 words at the moment. We’ve planned out 40 chapters, so at an average of 1,500 words per chapter, we could be looking […]
The book is a Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler-inspired murder mystery set in Heaven. Imagine central casting for a 1930s detective novel juxtaposed with all the strange and terrifying members of the heavenly choir: Angels, Archangels, Principalities, Thrones, Dominions, Powers, Virtues, Seraphim, Cherubim… Swell dames and femmes fatales, dirty priests and the Voice of God.
