Creative Psychosis

My computer is OK and believe it or not, I think it’s nice to have a rainy Friday to segue into the weekend. I guess I don’t spend much time outdoors unless I’m commuting from one locale to another, but alas the weather makes for varying thoughts… and this is a blessing. (Or as blessed [...]

After seeing the midnight show last night for Revenge of the Sith and getting up for work on three and a half hours of sleep, I can’t imagine I’ll write too many super deep thoughts right now. But then, it’s not really a deep movie, so perhaps it all works out.
Sith, in my mind, was [...]

You have to enjoy the vast places that your website can reach, even if it’s on a small scale like Magic Junk.
Even if 1424 of MJ’s unique visitor hits over the past 3 months are from the United States, the web stats show that there were hits from over 17 different countries that have been [...]

Almost every person could spend the rest of their life asking “what if…” questions, and trying to sort out how things became the way they did, and why they did not reorganize and prioritize their life a little more. But that is the problem with philosophy… that as great as it is to sit and [...]

One’s individual identity has its definitive purpose, but by contrast, one’s name is nothing but a shiny gloss cover over the book of your life.

I’ve been pondering the Blog-To-Novel conversion factor recently. By conversion, I mean myself converting back to daily novel writing instead of blogging long entries— not transforming my blogs into book form. Although I’ve heard this has been done, I find it hard that publishing in both formats would be advantageous.
Anyway, the reasoning for this is [...]

This review would have been posted on April 30… however I ran into some issues with the Mac OS X Tiger DVD. Since that post, Apple has added that you need a DVD drive on their Tiger requirements page. Too late for me, but so it goes.
Luckily, after waiting patiently, my OS X Tiger CDs [...]

This is an unlikely source for a motivational quote, but I think the underlying meaning applies if you’re a struggling writer (or struggling with anything that involves a healthy dosage of rejection).
So try to absorb this quote from the Radiohead DVD package for Meeting People Is Easy:

If you watched a lot of cartoons as a kid (and what Gen X-er didn’t?), then you remember the classic Bugs Bunny cartoon where Elmer Fudd brings Bugs home for dinner (rather, as dinner) only to have the “wascawwy wabbit” dupe him into thinking there is a terrible outbreak of “rabbititus” and that they must [...]

The Unsung Fu warehouse has been filling up with new products over the past 3 months and our newest additions are t-shirts. We have 2 totally original designs: the White Knight and the Desert Poet.

She was standing still and I was in her shadow, so she could not see me. This was not to say she could not sense my presence though. She could hear my breathing, the ruffle of fabric in my mass produced jacket as my arms swayed ever so slightly at my sides. She cried when [...]

Good news came on Saturday, as we learned of a recent review for Mark Sahm’s The Art of Getting Bent courtesy of Writer’s Digest. We posted the WD review on the TAGB homepage, as well as a testimonial from an independent reviewer who had purchased TAGB. Check them out here.
Anyone else out there who has [...]
