Things to Write

I’m gonna be 38 in a couple of months. As you approach 40 you start to reflect if your life has any accomplishments. I’ve got some but not much. I’ve been trying to write since I was kid, but frankly, even at this age, you still wonder if anything you do is good enough. I finished a small book. The story is horrible, but the story is mine. I suppose its an homage to certain things, but mostly it was something to help me work out a few things I was dealing with. I try to write now, because I want one good book. Oh I’ll still publish that crappy one, but I’m gonna publish all kinds of stuff. I work on politics, fiction, superheroes, history, things that interest me, things that interest you. Because life isn’t over at 40. Life is like the smoke from a candle. You barely get a glimpse of it and it’s gone. I don’t want to waste time and look back saying I didn’t try to make a mark on the world.

Politics

I’m finding that people are finding things controversial that didn’t used to be considered that way. In either conducting my own research into politics, or just the daily nightmare of the national media, people try to make things controversial to get people to come over to their side. People themselves either don’t want to do any research into the simplest of topics, or are quick to label everything as “hate speech” so their opponents will have to be shut up. Frankly, we’re supposed to be the freest country in the world, and we can’t even come to terms to calmly and simply have open debate. I’ve never attended rallies, or anything like that, other than the arguments you might get in with family, or people online, I’m not in the political process that much but I’m working on something that should be fairly accepted by both sides of the aisle. I’ve been working on it for awhile, so I hope it does well. I think this is a sign too, people are being agitated, and taking to politics in way...

Planning Out Another Novel

There’s nothing worse than planning a book. Once you get most of the particulars out of the way, but that planning... It’s worse than writing, because at least you can edit or rewrite the actual writing.  The details have to matter before the writing matters. That’s it, that’s all I got.  I got a vague notion that I want to write something, but no idea if it’ll go anywhere. But that’s exactly I how I started my first book.

It’s Been Awhile

 I haven’t been blogging so much because I’ve been writing books instead! I finished a World War 2 book, and started on a western, which I think I’m about halfway through.  Once that’s done I plan on starting work on a spy novel. I’m trying to do some real research on it, so it’s going to take a little while, but I’m really excited about it.  I’m trying my best to do one book in a different genre, I think it keeps things interesting and you’re less likely to be bored if you’re trying something new all the time.
