Last Week’s MM: 2014 My Blog in Review

There are a lot of Unlimited services going around these days.  I have Hulu, where I can watch a selection of unlimited shows and movies for a monthly fee.  I like to listen to IHeart radio.

When Kindle Unlimited came about, I, like many writers, were terrified.  A few months later, and it looks like our fears may have been valid.   Continue reading →

Mention Monday – Moon

Last Week’s MM: The Future Chronicles

I’m sure that you’ve heard of a lot of bad scifi movies.  Lucy comes to mind.  Could have been good, but, eh, wasn’t developed enough.  Same with Snowpeircer.  And I read and heard such bad reviews about Automata that I didn’t even give it a chance.  They have a lot in common: Big names, great concepts, not the best delivery.

Can you even imagine how many truly awful scifi films are made that you never hear of?  It’s a lot, I’m sure.

But the other day, my fella showed me a movie called Moon.  It was released in 2009, got great reviews, and stared Sam Rockwell and the voice of Kevin Spacey.  I thought it was so strange that I had never heard of it.

We watched it.  I looked at a trailer prior to watching, and the trailer gave away a little too much.  But, all in all, I think it was a good movie.  I’ve been into space stuff lately: Interstellar, Gravity, The Martian… so this was right in that vein.

Makes me wonder if there is any other good scifi out there that I’ve never heard of.  I’d bet there is.  Got any recommendations?  Let me know.

Mention Monday – Audible

Last MM: Kindle Worlds

I think that probably everyone has heard of Audible.  They advertise everywhere.  Their most recent commercial is a little racy I think.  They have a woman listening to some romance novel (apologies if I don’t know which one it is.  I don’t read that genre) throughout the course of her day, including while she is at work, and it’s talking about “riding a guy like a horse” and “unbuttoning” things.  But, that’s just a side note, because I think it’s funny.

I like flash fiction.  If you read my blog, you know that every Friday I post a flash fiction story.  What you may not know, is that sometimes these stories are prompted by the terribleminds blog.  This blog is run by the author Chuck Wendig.  Continue reading →

People can have a major role in how you turn out.  They may do this actively, or passively.  They may never even know that you exist or the impact that they’ve had on your life.  But they mold us.  There are those who give us hope, inspiration, and insights that we never would have seen otherwise.  They might be role models, significant others, parents, teachers, any one that had a hand in developing you.  Here are some of the ones that shaped me into the writer that I am today, and the one that I hope to be tomorrow.
