Posted on April 14, 2016 by Charles Yallowitz

I’m pretty sure the title has some people twitching.  Funny thing is that I’m writing this from two perspectives.  One is that I’m sick of reboots and remakes.  Even sequels are wearing on me to the point where I don’t … Continue reading →

Posted on February 26, 2016 by Charles Yallowitz

Lloyd-  Wasn’t the author supposed to write about this? Cassidy-  I guess he felt we should talk . . . identity.  Seems he realized during the final edits that the two of us do a little identity seeking throughout the … Continue reading →

I’m getting some mileage out of these sketches.  Now I’m going to be trying to connect the Questions 3 to whatever I do for the Tuesday post.  Not easy for the first one that told the origin of The Mercenary Prince. … Continue reading →

Growing a Character? Add water, sunlight, & the nearest sugary confection
