Issues

Okay so doing this by phone so mistypes and mistakes are just part of the issues. 1) I have discovered I can not do everything I would like to on the site with my phone. I keep having issues answering and writing comments on stories. This is a phone issue driving me nuts. 2) I still am waiting for my computer to come back. I have about six days to go and it is driving me nuts. 3) I have completed two short stories that I just need my computer to type up now. 4) I have pulled Seeo

I Have A Blog

I know, crazy isn't it? This technophobic technopathetic girl has managed all by herself (almost) to make a whole blog page. Go take a look at vote in my poll as to which kind of man you prefer. http://nephylim-author.blogspot.com/

Every Journey starts with....

....a strong pair of gonads and a step. So I thought after spending a few months reading far too many stories on here it was time I put my own thoughts to pen....errr pixel? So tomorrow I officially will start writing in what I am now naming the "Bloodline" universe with most likely "Faery Boy" book. Both titles are a work in progress for now. I doubt I will nail them down until later. But I hope to have a first draft of chapters 1 and hopefully two done by Monday. So why bother with a b

New Year, New Life

I was reminded by a certain someone that I hadn't updated this lately. True, the holidays were a real pisser, then with mom getting cancer and the unexpected trip to North Carolina so Grandma could see baby to 'cheer her up' it's been a bit. Sadly I go back to work in 5 days. Can't believe my time off is all gone. It's been worth it for sure, but it was a lot more work than I figured. [i know all you parents out there are laughing at me wondering WTF I thought it would be like. - Shaddup

Thoughts for a further year

The first days of January are often the occasion to take stock and to set targets for the coming months. The experiences of 2011 certainly part of a continuum, but they are for me a passage towards a new stage. The year ended badly. My wife broke her hip and we spent New Year in hospital. Her recovery will take time and it is now my main concern. But this does not stop me from planning my next activities, both to carry on my mandates as consultant and to write the next chapters of my memorie

Yay Published at Last

So I now have two books published. I have no idea if I'm allowed to advertise on here or not. No doubt if I'm not the blog will be removed and I apologize to the admin. The first book I won't go on too much about becuase it is already posted here. ENIGMA but you can get it from All Romance just by clicking on Other books by Nephylim So, the new one is The Unfairness Of Life. It's along the lines of my usual stories but a little bit different as it dips its toes into the realm of

Silly Concerns

Get ready for my usual hodge podge again. 1) The computer is sent out and now I have about a 10 days left till it is back. Can I tell you how nuts I am without a computer? 2) I am working on a project again. I figured I have to do something while I don't have a computer. When asked for an idea of how long was given a clue that works great if typing on a computer but not if you are hand writing. Oh well I will do the best I can. 3) I sent out a lot of packages for the holidays but in

Chronicles of My Life

Blogging is fun, even for overly organized people

I like blogging. I like just sitting around and thinking or chatting about a topic. Writing out my thoughts is nice because it helps me frame them in a more concrete way. It's nice just doing it in my head, but it's more fun and more satisfying on a computer screen...not on a piece of paper, physically writing sucks. Typing is nice though. Anyway, over the years I've grown thoroughly attached to this site and its members and whatever else I'm doing in my life I still enjoy a place to just sit an

Back from Europe

I just came back from across the Atlantic and I have a lot of new takes on ideas and thoughts. European culture is something American too often ignore, sadly, but it is very integrated to everything that the US in terms of our customs and ideas are about. American so often neglect or reject anything to do with Europeans, but in reality, the US holds a lot of the traditions with Europeans in different areas. There's also a European issue about their own infrastructure problems that I have wit

Emotions

Before I start this entry. I want to state, I didnt write it for sympathy. I'ts to stop me bottling it all up, and sending me on a downward spiral. So lets get this out. Most of you know my past, or some of it. I didnt get the socialising, interacting, childhood most of you got. I have no experience of sharing, for instance. I had nobody to share anything with. And cut off and isolated as I was and still am. I never got the opportunity to learn that stuff. I never stop learning. Now more th

Death of a Computer

Okay, so the title pretty much says it all. The comupter has been acting strange then it stopped connecting to the internet. Most likely a week without it. SHH. I am already having withdrawal systems. Unfortunately won't be posting the last chapter of Seeon until I ... Oh yeah have a computer again. I will be posting messages and I can respond to notes on the site, but I don't even want to admit how long it took me to type this out on my phone. So I am sort of on a forced break. All that

2011 Fitness Totals

2011 turned out to be the 'Year of Fitness' for me. I totaled everything up, and it's actually quite staggering now that it's all there in one place. Gym Workouts - 452 Running Sessions - 332 (for 2,117 miles) Rollerblading Sessions - 64 (for 644 miles) Road Biking - 48 (for 768 miles) --------------------------------- Total - 896 My main goal was running 2000 miles, so I was happy that I surpassed that.

A Story is Loose

Okay, so I think every writer I know has one. It is that story you keep going back to you. Eventually you find someone who you will share part of it with but you just know it isn't done and you keep going back over it, and over it, and oh yeah, over it. Meet my story, Fates of the World. I've only been writing it, for .... the last seven years. lol. It is one of those I write really hard on then stop go over it, rewrite it, toss out sections, begin again, finish it, toss out the ending, go

Personal Questions

A boring look into the existence of Jason Rimbaud In the forums of GayAuthors, in the Games and Humor thread, there is an entry called Personal Questions. Basically it’s a forum game where each person asks a personal question and the next person answers the question before asking his own personal question. As I read through all the questions and the replies, I realized that there was numerous questions I would have love to have answered. So I thought it would be a good idea if I took s

Christmas Gifts

Okay get ready cause this is going to be a quick but wild entry. First off I got a few gifts for holiday. Two of them were from people here on the site. It would be remiss of me to not to thank them, and I have. How can you go wrong with cook books or collections of comic books if you know me? They have good taste is all I can say. The gifts from my family, well lets just say that they were lacking. Who would expect that the oddest gifts, the ones you don't know what to do with, you know you

Why is life so distracting?

I know I can't finish this story before I will have to leave on vacation. Maybe, I should not have started playing with my tablet, but I just can't resist a new piece of tech, especially one with such sleek and elegant form. I will write again after I come back, who knows, maybe I will write a travel blog. See you all next year

I am writing, wohoo!

My creative juices are flowing along with coffee and urine, but it feels good. I will attempt to write a story before I head off on vacation for fun. It will not be edited perfectly as I am not sure whether my favorite editor is around (Yes, Dannsar it's you, I did really like the way you edited my anthology story). It will be a retro-fan fiction story that I got in my head recently after watching an old show.

Christmas Break

Going to Texas to visit my brother and his family. Going off line- unplugged, shudown, tuned out. Finding a cat sitter was difficult. My cat beast has a well earned reputation of being meaner than I am. Of course no trip to North Dallas would be complete without a visit to the Opera House in Denton. http://www.recycledbooks.com/ If you are ever there check it out. As an aside, I'm not sure if I will be back. When your ignore list is becoming unmanageable, you either have to c

Strange thing I noticed reading anthology

Did anyone take a notice at what stories seem to have the most length? I know, I know, it doesn't matter how big the word count is, but how you write your story I just noticed this by accident, but Bill W., Altimex, and W.L (me), were the three longest in word count. Also, all three of us wrote science fiction stories, using different ideas and different points of view. Just an observation

Some Special Thank You's

First to Graeme, Lugh, and Cia who worked announcing, planning and helping to get the Anthology together. Their hard work makes the stuff us writers do look so much better. They start a year in advance with getting the ideas together, having people vote, and then work it over till it shines, before it is given to us writers to put our own spin on it. Then they create skins, double check the work, and make it all go together smoothly. Then to not only those work behind the scene deciding who
