Posted on January 30, 2016 by Charles Yallowitz

A long exhausting day Where the mind wanders Distractions yanking it  away So progress takes a hit Just like the friggin’ phone Mourning lost time The author crawls into the cot Pillow stealing muscles’ strength Blanket tickling at his nose … Continue reading →

Posted on January 28, 2016 by Charles Yallowitz

These questions stem from two things.  One is that I’m editing and that requires making changes.  The other is that I accidentally clicked on the link that led me to the ‘new’ WordPress post maker.  This thing is terrible.  I … Continue reading →

Origin of Cassidy

Posted on January 27, 2016 by Charles Yallowitz

Cassidy has very little influence beyond ‘tough young woman with guns and a penchant for cursing’.  At one point I imagined here betraying her allies because she has no use for them, but that quickly died off.  So really I had … Continue reading →

Posted on January 26, 2016 by Charles Yallowitz

Taking a full chunk of The Mercenary Prince‘s prologue here.  Gives a hint of what will come and I realized I hadn’t mentioned Trinity in a while.  Hopefully it gets people stirring about the book.  Really isn’t much else to do … Continue reading →

Origin of the Shattered States

Posted on January 25, 2016 by Charles Yallowitz

To be fair, the events leading up to the story of Crossing Bedlam isn’t as severe as seen above.  It’s only the United States that gets hit and I’m even iffy on calling this post-apocalyptic since the rest of the world … Continue reading →

Blizzard 2016: May God Have Mercy on the Hedges

Posted on January 23, 2016 by Charles Yallowitz

I’m scheduling this one instead of writing it tomorrow.  The reason is because we’re supposed to get 6-12 inches of snow.  Yes, people are getting worse elsewhere.  Yes, people overreact to winter storm warnings.  None of that matters because I … Continue reading →

Posted on January 22, 2016 by Charles Yallowitz

Questions 3: Into the Editing Breach

Posted on January 21, 2016 by Charles Yallowitz

Part of me thinks I already did a Questions 3 on editing, but I’m too lazy and tired to search for it.  Probably because I’ve been scrambling to edit this week.  Not easy to do when it’s so cold that … Continue reading →

Why Do I Prefer Good Triumphing Over Evil?

Posted on January 20, 2016 by Charles Yallowitz

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 →
