It's done. After months of writing, I have completed two full drafts and a final read-through of Trinity: Atom & Go. Yesterday, just before dinner I sent the final copy into my publisher. Finishing a manuscript is bittersweet. There is great relief at getting it done, but there is also a feeling of emptiness. I'm …
Atom strolled through the hatch to the One Way Ticket, rubbing the crusty snow from his face. “Let’s get properly settled,” he called out as the others started to wander away. “We don’t know how long we’ll be here, but I don’t want the weather to kick anything loose.” He froze. The …
In my last installment I asked for questions and thoughts from my readers. The one question I received was actually part of an email reaction. The reader wondered at the level of violence in Genesis: Atom & Go. Could Atom achieve the same ends without all the gunplay and death? This got me thinking about …
Here is a something to whet the appetite. Please keep in mind that this is a rough draft and is likely to change between bouts of writing. Now that I'm drawing near to the end of the reworking, I'll try to return to my regular broadcast time. Hope you enjoy. Keep on reading, keep on …
I'm drawing near to the conclusion of Trinity. I have 69 pages to work through, although reality will probably drive that number to 75 or 80. This is the second draft, which means expansion. My second draft is like the Mongol hordes of writing. But, I'm coming up for a breath of fresh air. Putting …
Good morning Campers, welcome to the black. Things are still dicey out there in the real world. Lucky for me, I spend a good portion of my day up there in the black traveling about with Atom Ulvan and Margo as they get into and out of more trouble than a kit and her father …
Pub Day came and went in a blur. It proved the first day of a whirlwind of self-imposed chaos as I worked, spent a day with the cousins in the pool, church picnicked, and replaced the A/C condenser on one of the vehicles. I could use a vacation from this bug-induced, post-apocalyptic world we live …
Writing feels like floating in the ocean a few feet beneath the surface. A cluster of bubbles escapes your mouth and you watch as they drift upward to fuse with the glowing plane that distorts reality above you. You hold your breath and drift, keeping your depth with idle kicks of your feet and you …
Some of you, but not all of you, may know that writing is a gift that was passed down from my father. You may have picked that up if you read Genesis and took the time to read the dedication. Well, I know this isn't directly related to the ongoing Atom & Go saga, but …
That's a slight stretch. All we have around here in Corning are big hills, but the mist is there and it's beautiful. I'm sitting in my office, drinking my morning coffee and watching as the rosy-fingered dawn seeps through that mist. Maybe spring is finally here. I can hear some birds singing their morning song. …
