I'll Figure Something Out

I know. I haven't been posting lately as much as I used to. 

 Whether you come for the surreal art, or for the posts which I do try to make original (I put time into the things I write on here, true thoughts I'm thinking about), and there does seem to be at least a few of you at his point, judging from the numbers in analytics, but whatever you come for (takes a breath), know that I'm still thinking about things and hope to post more soon.

 The day job is picking up the pace, no more slower summer days. 

 I'm trying to step up my writing game, which means more rejections and less submissions. 

 I'm also trying to get a YouTube channel off the ground, with a show Gary Buller and I do Sundays. I had bigger plans for that, too, the YouTube channel I mean, with more frequent posts, but alas the day job and other duties put an stop to that. 

 And less frequent significant blog posts. When I say significant, I mean the Mon, Wed and Friday blogs I did. They had the art, though thought and the question. 

 I have to remember what all this is for. 

 The writing. That's the end goal. A novel. Many novels. 

 I do want to engage with new followers, and hope to do something with that (this blog) soon.

 I am finding a spot to do the posts, just before I start writing, to prime myself and that works, but then I hit the posting dilemma. 

 It's easy enough to get some thoughts on here, but then I have to post it to Twitter, Then Google plus, then Facebook messenger. If there is art work I put it on Instagram. 

 It seems easy enough, but on top of everything else, to make a unique post for each of those sites becomes a challenge. Especially since I should be writing during that time. 

 Then there's working on the next blog post, and the art work isn't easy, either. 

 Sometimes I could take a few hours with that, depending on how intricate it gets--layers and all. Taking the pictures. Then I get bigger ideas and add to that. 

 What I'm saying is I have to figure something out, because I love doing all these things, but it gets very challenging juggling them all at once. 

 And I have to keep in mind, I'm here to write, to be a writer, to create stories and get them out to readers. I hope to make it a career and be able to quit my day job--to make this my day job. 

 But that won't happen unless I do it. 

 So I'll figure something out. 

 Have you had anything that you had to give up, or slow down with, in order to focus on the true goal? 

 Let me know in the comments below, or on Twitter HERE.

 Can't wait to hear from you.

The Brightest Flame

Image
The brightest flame burns quickest. Or like Lao Tzu said originally "The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long."  Sounds about right. You push too hard and you burn out. There you go. Burn. Candles.  Get it?  Well, it's true. Pushing yourself to achieve a goal is a good thing, but to over exert one's self is not.  It's not only disaster that can take place, but total burn out--and then it's just not as fun.  A little extra work never killed anyone, until you take it too far, you neglect your family, life.  Yes, you're doing more, but now your spouse despises you. Your kids don't know you, and you may be getting sick.  Now it's too late. You've gone and pushed yourself to the limits. And in the interim you've neglected a lot of things. Probably even your health.  Now you're sick, about to cash in your ticket. And you look around. What did it get you?  Your kids are grown a bit, maybe spouse left you. You

The Local Spirit Halloween Store Popped Up Again

Image
I recently stopped into a Spirit Halloween store to check on something Halloween  related and it was all decked out with ghoulish goodness. The year has gone by fast, and it fast-forwarded to the best time of the year in my opinion. The leaves change color, a chill in the air. The holidays are just around the corner.  Take it slow. Try to savor these moments. And if your time of the year is summer, try to savor that, too. When you can.  This Spirit store usually rents the space out annually. Back in 1999, Spencer Gifts acquired Spirit Halloween. Spencer Gifts is a novelty store that you can find in a lot of malls. They do mail order and have those nifty gadgets and gifts you can't find just anywhere. I always used to remember them for posters, musician t-shirts, and lava lamps.  There are some great decorations at Spirit. I always love how freaky these things are. What they represent. Old horror tropes and stories that take shape in the screwed-up, twisted faces on the frightful la

Dying Light -- Will's Nintendo Switch Review

Image
It's been quite a while since I last immersed myself in the world of Dying Light. I originally played this gem on the PS4. There's a special place in my heart for the horror genre. As there is for video games. Both are a great escape from the insanity that is life. And horror brings you to the realization that sometimes life can be just that. Horrific.  Here enters Dying Light on the Switch.   As the sequel to this franchise has recently debuted on next-gen systems, its predecessor was released on the Switch not too long ago. Say what you will about Nintendo's system, to play these blockbuster games natively on a portable, and not through Playstation's remote play, is an amazing feat. I remember playing Dying Light on my Vita through Remote Play, and of course there was a hit in the graphics and frame rate department, so this looks leaps and bounds better than that experience--which was still great even for what it was. Everything I remember is here, and I could be wron
