You've read this blog and likely think my life is an open book and how in the hell could there be any Secret Life, but secret lives aren't necessarily spy-worthy tales to tell or skeletons in the closet. Hell, those were outed years ago by my uncle and myself. It's how we amuse ourselves, I… Continue reading The Secret Life of Jinxie G, Part II

The Secret Life of Jinxie G, Part I
I watched The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (the remake with Ben Stiller) last night and thought about how similar to Walter's life mine is. I mean, I’ve seen the movie before and knew then that I am oh-so-much like Walter Mitty, but in subtle ways I’m different. For instance, the fantasy at play within my… Continue reading The Secret Life of Jinxie G, Part I
Why I Write
...or, my plans to take over the world. Wait...forget I said that. I can't tell you my plans. That's completely negating everything between now and my monologuing end (I hope it's a good death). *sigh* Fine. I'll tell you a story. Sort of. I write because of the need to escape the reality I've lived most… Continue reading Why I Write

What. The. F*%@?
...because it's been that kind of week. It's the fifth day of NaNoWriMo, and have I started anything yet? No. Why? Because the shiny new idea just came to me two nights ago. I'm not worried, though, because I'd started Nemesis on November 15th, 2008 because I'd forgotten NaNoWriMo had started. While I may not have completed Nemesis in 30… Continue reading What. The. F*%@?
