Hey, I've Got A Blog!

So I'm going through the links on my computer and I stumble across this blog...  Totally forgot about it!  Now I feel guilty that I haven't actually used it for almost two whole years!

That's pretty bad, too, because I'm working on so many projects that I could be telling everyone about!

First of all, I'm trying to re-embark on my writing career.  I've had several short stories that have been published in a variety of magazines and ezines and anthologies.  That was a few years ago now, and all the rights have reverted back to me, so I've decided to reissue them through a couple of epub distributors like Amazon Kindle, Drive Thru Fiction, and maybe a few others.

I'm also trying to start a couple of series of short stories for publication on these platforms.  This is becoming a larger project than I originally anticipated.  Not only do I have to reformat all the stories, sometimes for different formats, but I also have to come up with cover images.  I am making progress, it is slow but steady.

Technically, I am still creating paper miniatures for Fantanomicon Press.  In fact, I have two different sets that I am in the middle of. 

On top of all that, during a great lapse in my better judgement, I decided some months ago to embark on a web-series project.  This is a MONSTER-SIZED project all by itself.  It's a retro-style space fantasy adventure inspired by old serials like Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers.  I've been watching and reading various tutorials about the various aspects of making videos and/or movies.  There's script writing, costume design and creation, prop manufacturing, special make-up design, and then there's the video and audio stuff!

These are some of the things I feel I could and should be talking about here on my blog.  I could also give little mini-reviews of some of the old pulp magazines and classic sci-fi and fantasy novels that I read.  Or voice my opinions on some of the new or old movies I see.

You know, all that kind of stuff that people talk about on blogs.

I think I shall try to do that in the near future.  Hopefully this will be fisrt of some more regular posts.  Let's see if I can come up with the time and energy to keep it up!
