Why Do I Usually Have Good Defeat Evil?

Posted on August 26, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

(Originally posted on January 20, 2016. Still holds for me.) Now, I’d like to say that ‘win’ does not always equal ‘survive’.  Heroes can be victorious and die.  This part is really a clarification of my own stance and I’m … Continue reading →

Revisit: Unstoppable

Posted on July 28, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

This was first published on February 16, 2013 and it’s a weird one.  Only because I would go on to make Nyx and Clyde more susceptible to losing.  I still think a ‘versus’ between characters from different worlds is inherently … Continue reading →

Accomplishment vs Failure

Posted on September 23, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

I never thought much about ‘Accomplishment vs Failure’ stories.  One could argue that every story touches on this.  The protagonist needs to succeed in whatever they are attempting in regards to the main plot.  If they don’t accomplish their goals … Continue reading →

Was There a Misstep Along the Way?

Posted on May 18, 2017 by Charles Yallowitz

I know I promised the Ichabod Brooks blurbs on a post that most people don’t read over the weekend.  Figure I have over a month to get that done, so I can get this brain worm out of my head. … Continue reading →

Now, I’d like to say that ‘win’ does not always equal ‘survive’.  Heroes can be victorious and die.  This part is really a clarification of my own stance and I’m also not entirely sure where to go with this because … Continue reading →

Post Revisited- Paranoia in Self-Publishing?

Posted on December 21, 2015 by Charles Yallowitz

This is a big one that went live on February 8th, 2014.  I think I’ve figured some of it out, but don’t hold me to that.  Though re-reading it, I do seem some of my youthful naivete in there at … Continue reading →

And That’s All He Wrote . . . For 2015

Posted on November 13, 2015 by Charles Yallowitz

I’m doing this early since I don’t know what the weekend will bring. I’m grabbing a book I’ve been gradually reading and collapsing after this.  So, what is the reason for the victory and collapse? Legends of Windemere: The Spirit … Continue reading →

Posted on February 8, 2014 by Charles Yallowitz

Goals on an Empty Stomach

Posted on January 12, 2014 by Charles Yallowitz

Writing this with the toddler sticking his head in front of the laptop.  We’ll see how this goes. Well, it’s been a busy week with whacky weather and the toddler returning to school.  A few delays tripped me up, but … Continue reading →
