A Stolen Glance

In silken seas she slumbered
Celestial reflections from invisible love
Across a mirror
A silver river, running sharply into an ivory valley
A singular point not meant to be shared
Even here I go unnoticed
Yet forever shall I reign
God’s love washes over the alabaster range
To find me idle
Beside a river no longer silver
In waters no longer cold
Yet resting in the open
I will not cast a shadow
Despite my mark
I’ll never be known

Captain America VS Blade

Marvel fever after Infinity War got me thinking about what would happen if Blade and Captain America had to settle some beef. Let’s say Captain America, super soldier with incredible strength and extremely proficient combat ability, and Blade, a day walking vampire with incredible strength and an experienced brawler, meet up in a warehouse. In this scenario, I don’t see Blade being the initial aggressor, but I would love to be proven wrong about that. A likely scenario would be Captain targeting Blade after getting him confused with another vampire or maybe having some beef with the way Blade handled something. Whatever the reason, let’s say they meet and they each have their top of the line weapon. Captain has his adamantium shield and Blade has his adamantium sword and it is a fight until one taps out. Who wins?

Vote on who you think would win and share your thoughts. I’ll go over the thoughts and comments on the podcast. If you want, you can even come on and we can debate about who would win.

Pushed to the Limit!

Have you ever worked on a project that tested your comfort level? During a conversation with Renee Miller, we discussed a story that she wrote that really pushed her limits. If you missed the conversation, you can check it out here:

This had me thinking about projects that I’ve worked on that made me uncomfortable. The only book that has really left an emotional impression on me is Seven Attempts at One Death. I wrote that book during one of the darker chapters of my life, and it reflects on a very deep, and corrosive depression that tried to hollow me out completely. The emotions connected are so strong I did nothing with the book for almost a decade.

What about you? What projects have you worked on that really pushed you to the limits of your comfort level?

Let me know in the comments below.

Jack Torrance VS Patrick Bateman

Jack Torrance and Patrick Bateman are both iconic horror psychos, and while they’re both psychotic, one is gripped with blood-lust towards his family, while the other may or may not have a staggering collection of dead hookers. Jack Torrance showed he is unhinged and willing to kill at any cost in The Shining, but what about Patrick Bateman in American Psycho? He’s a yuppie with nasty habit of just straight up murder, right in the street even.

What would happen is Jack Torrance and Patrick Bateman were to face-off at the Overlook hotel? I don’t see Patrick Bateman being the initial aggressor, as Jack doesn’t fit his motive. However, once Jack tries to attack Bateman, he most certainly would counter and then the fight is on. So, who wins? How does it happen?

Cast your vote and give me a rundown in the comments section below. Your comment might be read on the podcast!

Write Under the Influence

Have you ever worked on your craft while under the influence? Not going to judge if you have, or if you do. Several well-known authors have had worked on various books while under the influence. Stephen King drank mouthwash for alcohol and snorted rock star levels of coke while working on Cujo. The legend has even admitted he doesn’t remember how he even wrote the book, because he was so out of it. Ayn Rand was taking speed while working on Fountainhead. Of course we can’t forget Hunter S. Thompson, he wrote Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas while experimenting on mushrooms.

So, I extend the question to you. Do you write under the influence? If not, why not/ Have you ever, and if so what was it like?
