Newsletter Volume Two: The view wasn’t perfect
I felt something was missing with my film research, even knowing why I was doing it the way I did. Something felt like loose ends.

Newsletter volume one: ‘At the moment…’
Review work The general writing at Hub Pages is coming along well. My film reviews have expanded to 700 words or more so this is pleasing to my sense of achievement. The reviews keep on getting featured by the editors so I am aiming for 100 consecutive featured articles and more. Currently, there are about… Read More Newsletter volume one: ‘At the moment…’
Film: down on the life list? Really?
I said in an earlier post that film was down on the life list, and this would be true because when it comes to writing about film and other things as well, it’s just all too much in one go. The solution is doing one form of writing at a time — until the goals… Read More Film: down on the life list? Really?
Untitled story coming along well
An untitled story I have been working on over the New Years is coming along well. As yet, it is officially untitled, but with a tentative title as of writing. This hard laboured at project that has been marinating for twenty years is coming to fruition.
Writing film reviews at Hub Pages
I have found publishing at Hub Pages encouraging in several ways. First, if my article is not featured and I get an email saying to improve the article so it will get featured, I let the idea marinate until I feel like editing. Hub Pages provides tips and guidelines for improving the piece.
Refreshing
Currently re-reading Roy Lomax’s Writing the Short Story — as am revisiting a short story, I wrote some time ago, and have lined up a market for one of my short stories. On the back burner.
New lease of life on writing fiction
Today I had a most foreign feeling. I hadn’t felt it for ten years, but the inkling to revisit my fiction — a certain kind I was writing. Back in the day they went unpublished. But like Luke Skywalker I am rejuvenated, revitalized, and returning with newness. The typewriter is waiting…
One turns into more?
The letter to me said your piece is on the short list and the bit of encouragement is to feel free to submit something else in the meantime. That could be two pieces that get published or more.
I’ve got joy
Whichever stage, be that practising writing or getting rejected, with a long-awaited opportunity comes joy.
A little boasting
As the photo explains in pictures: writing can be pain. But unlike him, I’m hot to trot 🙂
Still running with devotional writing
I was runner from way back, and I’m still running in the following way. Devotional writing. On the writing front, me and my computer have submitted two devotionals to a place when my devotions have been accepted before. Several other devotions were rejected at other times, some accepted at other times. I think the latest… Read More Still running with devotional writing
The existential rub of a manuscript
How do you know it is classic science fiction horror—I don’t mean science fiction or horror individually—but science fiction horror per-se? You can only know it did its upmost best, published or unpublished.
I’m on boot camp for writers
I believe in boot camp, but on another level I’d hate to do it.
A touch from my writer’s life
It is eye opening to know where one’s head was at just looking at old writings. The articles did have their merits and touches which surprised me. And they sounded actually good! Why does one get an impression that the past sounds worse than the present when it isn’t so?
Starting out in boot camp
This week I’ve been in boot camp. No, it’s one of those boot camps. But it’s writing boot camp at Hub Pages.
