First of all, there must be a better way to arrange theater seats so people aren’t sitting under the screen. That screen is too big to be watching a movie from that angle for two hours. I was looking at the screen from those front seats for only a couple of minutes and my head…
Check out my post Adventures to be Had, it’s the first of this series. We arrived at the train terminal, Termini in Rome, early and had to sit on the floor because we didn’t see any seats. It was ridiculous! That had to have been our third time sitting on the floor at a terminal….
If it’s not horror, action or both, I ignore it unless someone makes me watch it.. That’s not to say I don’t like other kinds of movie, I do,but I go for horror, fantasy and action. So, it took me awhile to see The Hangover but when I did, I loved it! I was surprised…
I’m so behind. I intended to post this two days ago but life happens. Sorry for the delay- enjoy. In 2007, while studying in England, a group of friends and I spent about 8 or 9 days backpacking across Italy. It was amazing. Even now, I can’t believe the things I saw. Each step, even…
Here are some books that helped me when I was first learning to write. I’m not including novels because the list would be ridiculous. I prefer books focusing on a specific aspect of writing- plot, character, setting and so on. I don’t use general how-to-write books. If you want to know how to writer a…
I’ve loved horror most of my life so why are most of my favorites on Goodreads fantasy? Don’t worry, they’re still dark. But why the change? I’ve sampled other genres but horror was always my favorite. Years ago I didn’t even like fantasy. When I was doing research on the characteristic of a horror novel,…
Dark cities, vampires, vampire killers, epic fight scenes. How could I not treat myself to Priest? It sounds like something I’d write- minus vampire and add creature of my making. But like Resident Evil: Afterlife, I saw it seeking only to be entertained- my expectations weren’t high. So plot, the movie portrayed a world after…
I write because I have to. I feel I’m missing something important if I don’t. Plots, dialogues, conflicts, resolutions, character personalities, endings overrun my mind and won’t let me concentrate on anything else until expressed. I see a tree or a structure and think how perfect it would fit in my story. I read or…
I wanted to fill the hole in my heart. I wanted to know what a real smile felt like. I couldn’t feel the sun on my skin. I grimaced. How was that different from any other day? “Sister what’s that.” A little girl ran into the middle of the road. A young woman raced after…
Since writing my first (unpublished) novel, I’ve been fascinated by Carl Jung’s Shadow. How could I not know about The C.G. Jung Center of New York located in midtown on 39th between Madison and Park. I wouldn’t have found it if it hadn’t been for an assignment for class. I was so excited simply by…
