Goal Post: Let the Break Begin!

Posted on December 23, 2023 by Charles Yallowitz

Made it through the last week of work and now I get a week of Holiday Break.  It was a little touch and go halfway through in terms of health.  Don’t know why, but the final push towards this break … Continue reading →

Posted on December 22, 2023 by Charles Yallowitz

This is another one of those topics that I had on my list and totally forgot what inspired it or where to go.  Yet, I do feel compelled to write about it.  Not because I have a lot to say, … Continue reading →

Would you believe he first appeared on this blog in April of 2013?  Well he did and here’s the post. Originally Ichabod Jones, he started as a name that I couldn’t get out of my head.  I decided to peek down … Continue reading →

Posted on December 18, 2023 by Charles Yallowitz

For those who don’t know the Dragon Ball franchise, I will explain.  Goku is the guy in the middle who has been the main hero since the beginning.  Piccolo (green guy on right) was the final villain of the original … Continue reading →

Goal Post: The Week of Crazy Has Almost Ended

Posted on December 16, 2023 by Charles Yallowitz

All I managed to outline for Darwin & the Joy Path was the first 8 chapters.  That’s good, but it’s looking like it’ll be 17-18 chapters.  It took me most of Saturday to do this, so I’m a little bummed that I … Continue reading →

That Forgotten Childhood Promise

Posted on December 13, 2023 by Charles Yallowitz

Long ago, I got into a manga called ‘Love Hina’.  This is what one would call a ‘harem story’ where the male protagonist is eventually desired by all of the female ones.  That has nothing to do with this post.  … Continue reading →

Posted on December 6, 2023 by Charles Yallowitz

*SPOILERS FOR THE ANIME/MANGA ‘DESERT PUNK’* This post was inspired by the anime ‘Desert Punk’.  It’s fun even though it gets fairly crude at some points.  It does something that is fairly interesting as well.  The anime is 25 episodes … Continue reading →

Goal Posts: I Survived . . . Did My Arm Fall Off?

Posted on December 2, 2023 by Charles Yallowitz

The big victory was that I finished writing Darwin & the Beast Collector.  I had a lot of trouble with the finale since I had Darwin leave the area a little too early.  That had to be fixed and then the … Continue reading →

A Reflection on Authordom

Posted on December 1, 2023 by Charles Yallowitz

It’s been an iffy year as far as my writing goes I managed to finish 2 volumes of Tales of the Slumberlord or whatever I’m calling that series.  Right now, I think I’ll just give it ‘Darwin &’ titles and leave … Continue reading →
