Rough Draft On the Road

On February 1, 2025 By zachwinderlIn Uncategorized3 Comments

            Tedi flew through the night.             Cool, early morning air drifted into the cabin through the open windows as she hummed along with the radio and kept her eyes on the road ahead. Night meant lean traffic along the four lane she whipped along.             “Should be smooth sailing, Jimbo.” Tedi reached over and …

POV and the Shift

On January 3, 2025 By zachwinderlIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

I'm pretty sure I've talked about writing in second person. Maybe my views have changed, but my stance is a novel written in second person is very select. In fact, when Googling second person novels there is a very limited selection. Outside of the choose-your-own-adventure books from our childhood, there really aren't very many options. …

A New Idea Brewing

On December 14, 2024 By zachwinderlIn Uncategorized1 Comment

Creativity can be a steady trickle or come in waves. It depends on the person, their place in life, and the time they take to feed the creative muse. For me, consistency has not always been a strong suit. Life can interfere. Inspiration can come slowly. Editing can slow the creative roll. I like to …

Fallout on the Screen

On June 12, 2024 By zachwinderlIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

It's been too long. The options for a post are literally limitless. I've gone back and forth between several options, but finally decided on looking at the fusion of video games and the silver screen ... is it still silver? Recently I finished watching Fallout. Stand-along it was fun. When you couple it with the …

Why the Crew?

On February 15, 2024February 15, 2024 By zachwinderlIn Uncategorized2 Comments

The crew on a ship is an age old trope, but it never really seems to get old. After sitting on this thought for a while, I have come to the conclusion that the crew will continue to fit because it reflects life. Most of us are put into situations in life where having a …

Fiction or Fishin’

On December 7, 2023December 7, 2023 By zachwinderlIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

I got to thinking about how Atom and Go seem to bounce from one scrape to the next with very little downtime in between. This follows the general adventure fiction, but seems to be a tad out of touch with reality. I laughed at that thought. Authors don't write fiction because they want to imitate …

Prey

On October 13, 2023October 13, 2023 By zachwinderlIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

I read an article on Screen Rant the other day about how the newest installment of the Predator series brought the viewer closer to the original movie than any of the other movies in between. I have to admit, there have been a lot of them. And when you toss in all the Alien movies …

What’s in a Sequel

On September 22, 2023September 22, 2023 By zachwinderlIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

A few weeks ago I went with my family to see the new Indiana Jones movie. To be honest, I was a little nervous. I really didn't enjoy Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Looking back I've tried to nail down what it was about the fourth installment of the Indie series …

Rhythm & Rhyme

On September 15, 2023September 15, 2023 By zachwinderlIn Uncategorized1 Comment

Life is full of rhythms. When those rhythms fall out of order, it's hard to keep up with both the pastimes we enjoy and the tasks we need to follow through with. It can be one of those 'fun' downward spirals where we find it hard to pull ourselves back up. One piece of our …
