The origins of Sin

No, I’m not talking about Eve, the apple and the serpent.
The word “sin” in early Greek was actually an archery term; it literally meant to “miss the mark.” When an archer shoots at a target, he aims at the “bull’s eye” - the center of the target. When the arrow landed anywhere else, the archer […]

Nothing new under the sun

It’s true. I don’t care what you think, but everything has been done before, we just do it in new ways, working off of what’s been done before.
My latest proof of this came from research I am doing for the RPG product I’m designing for Highmoon Media. What I had thought was basically an […]

And the future has begun. . .

I’ve written before that I would like to make a living writing. Well, today I got official word that I can begin working on a project for Highmoon Media - a part of their Liber Sodalitas line. Hopefully, it will be the first of many projects for them. At the least, it will be my […]

Lost Rhapsody

Weird Al has done it again. This time he takes the cast and crew of Lost and uses them for his own parody of the Bohemian Rhapsody (done to a polka, no less!) If you are a fan of Lost, you have to watch this…

Why am I here, again?

Over at the Gamer: The Podcasting forums, they’ve started up a setting design for the Dragon’s Landing RPG project. We started by looking at what genre we wanted, and then what type of location/setting.

It did get me thinking of the […]

Good news on the writing front!

No. It’s not word from Tor, but it might be better in the long run. And, no, I can’t really say what it is right now. I’ll let you know when I can say more. It’s mostly up in the air right now, but let’s just say that I’m very excited about the possiblity of […]

Another one in the can

Finished up recording Episode 30 of the Dragon’s Landing Podcast today. 30! When we started this, I honestly didn’t know how long it would last. I’m not sure I even tried to guess.
Chuck and I had been trying to do things together for years, usually with the possibility of making a little money by doing […]

What cave?

I have not been hiding, just . . . trying to figure things out, I suppose. I know I want to write for a living, but I have been doing too little of it lately. Between a few good weeks of solid work, and a few days of too sick to want to do anything […]
