Stay Motivated

Posted on 2020-03-302020-03-30 by RB

I thought about starting this post by stating that I wanted to write a post about staying motivated, but I didn’t feel like it. That’s it, short and sweet and arguably humorous. But then I realized that it wouldn’t be motivating and probably not as funny as I thought, so here we go… If you’re…

Influences – George Carlin

Posted on 2020-03-27 by RB

I’m always inspired by people that have a way with words. Carlin was, in my opinion, one of the best wordsmiths, especially in his later years. Books aside, his stand-up routines were amazing to watch. He had a talent for wordplay and for pointing out the insanity that comes with modern life and being human….

Book Review – A Quiet Rebellion: Guilt

Posted on 2020-03-26 by RB

I picked up a copy of A Quiet Rebellion: Guilt (Numoeath Book 1) after reading several of M.H. Thaung’s very short stories (VSS) on her website. For what it’s worth, we follow each other on Twitter. I found her VSS to be well-written and, in some cases, thought provoking. My curiosity got the better of…

Book Review – The Memory Police

Posted on 2020-03-242020-03-24 by RB

I’ve always believed that Asian literature is sorely underrepresented in western countries. I don’t recall ever reading any books in school from Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai, Indian, or any other authors from Asia. I’ve been trying to remedy that over the past few years by expanding my horizons with selections from different countries and my…

Book Review – Tiny Righteous Acts

Posted on 2020-03-212020-03-21 by RB

I’m sure you’ve heard that old adage: Write what you know. It’s not necessarily meant to be taken literally, of course, but basically it means to write about things you’re familiar with, that interest you. A perfect example of this can be found in Parker Bauman’s Tiny Righteous Acts. So here’s the deal – Ms….

Obligatory Coronavirus Post

Posted on 2020-03-202020-03-20 by RB

With every other website posting on the coronavirus, I figured, why not jump on the bandwagon? I’m not poking fun at the seriousness of the pandemic. Believe me, I have family that are susceptible – in the high-risk category – so I’m keeping tabs on the reliable information that’s being released. However, I’m getting annoyed…

Quarantine Distractions

Posted on 2020-03-19 by RB

If you’re stuck at home and need something to stave off the boredom of quarantine, I have a couple of suggestions for you. First, you can listen to my creativity podcast, The Prometheus Project Podcast. Twenty-six episodes (so far) that cover different facets of creativity, motivation, inspiration, and other odds and ends. The podcast is…

“So, what do you write?”

Posted on 2020-03-162020-03-16 by RB

Whenever I’m talking to someone new and mention that I’m a writer, I’m always asked, “So, what do you write?”. I hate this question. In fact, I think most writers hate it. Why? Because it’s not easy to answer. What I mean is that it’s difficult to be succinct when answering. I could answer, “fiction”,…

Doing it Better

Posted on 2020-03-122020-03-12 by RB

Here’s a question for you: Have you ever read a story or watched a movie or show on television and thought to yourself, “I can write a better story than that”? For me, it happens more often with television and movies than it does with short stories or novels. Too many shortcuts and bad narrative…
