Writing Circle
Where do you get ideas to write about?
What's up guys... Just a quick question (#1): "Where do you get ideas to write about?" I ask this because we're writers who can be put in two broad categories; those who either: are passionate about writing what they like, what they enjoy doing, what they'd like their communities to look like .....
The Start of Something Exciting…
For YEARS I have joked with friends and family telling them one day I would write a book about my life. Many have encouraged me because they are aware of my passion for writing, while others would laugh saying "what the hell would you write about?". My answer. "I have no flipping idea" but I&h...
My Journey as a writer: Pains and Demotivation
What's up! Wayne here, how are you? Wayne's fine... Looking back into my journey as a writer... I don't know where I can just begin... But I remembered I had this dream since I was at a high school... But I can say that I started writing poems and shared them with my girlfriends and…
Barefoot Poet’s Journal
Day one I am not who you think I am. I don't fit in the slot you have assigned me. I am not politically correct and never will be. I think outside the box. I color outside the lines. I have been in the Belly of the Beast, and despite all your rantings and ravings,…
David Mamet MasterClass: Assignment # 2
I couldn't help it, I started to take another MasterClass while still doing the other one I'm more than halfway through. When I was in university, I used to take as many as 4 or 5 courses per semester, so taking two online courses just for kicks by comparison doesn't seem that tough. I can…
Neil Gaiman MasterClass: Assignment #8

I'm thinking of going with David Mamet's dramatic writing course, cause I would like to know more about...
Neil Gaiman MasterClass: Assignment #7
I've been really enjoying this Masterclass, and I can report that it's also helping me get my regular work done as well. I've gotten a fair bit of work done with both comics and novels and its been inspired work so it didn't feel like a chore either. One thing I like about Mr. Gaiman's…
Neil Gaiman MasterClass: Assignment #6
The last two assignments (#4 and 5) were a bit boring and not actually story related. So while I still did the work, I don't feel like posting them here, not yet at least. I'm learning a bit from the lessons, and the advice/stories being told during class is very inspirational. I enjoy listening...
Neil Gaiman MasterClass: Assignment #3
While I'm posting the homework for this MasterClass, I'm actually taking 3 classes at the same time. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I'm going watch one lesson and do the homework for those classes before the day ends. On the other days, I do my regular comic/novel work. In addition to Gaiman...
Softness
Maybe, when they’re older and Grown and gone away from my arms, They’ll remember that I wasn’t perfect, but I loved them deeply, and I tried hard not to cut them with my sharp edges. *-V.
