Generalized, short, spoiler-free review: My first words when the movie ended were: "I don't know how I feel about this right now." I had to mull it over for the past 24 hours, and the following is the conclusion I came to. I generally go into movies not expecting a whole lot, especially if they're… Continue reading Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Episode IX

Once Upon a Writer
When I was eight years old, my maternal grandmother gave me a typewriter and taught me how to type on it. Both of my grandmothers worked at Arizona State University back in the day. Anyway, g-ma Ethel was my first typing instructor and what she taught me that day stayed with me until my freshman… Continue reading Once Upon a Writer
Hogwarts or Bust
...and we survived Florida! I probably should have written this post immediately after our return, but exhaustion took over and I desperately needed a vacation from my vacation. Plus, a lot has been happening in our lives, so I really haven't had time or energy to write much. Hell, my newsletter hasn't had anything go out… Continue reading Hogwarts or Bust
The Secret Life of Jinxie G: Part IV
....you want me to go out? Social Anxiety! ACK! Yeah, it's a problem I have. I want to go hang out with friends, yet I don't because Oh My Fuck, I have to interact with people (strangers) and what if I say or do something stupid. I mean, I have no problem laughing at myself, but… Continue reading The Secret Life of Jinxie G: Part IV
The Secret Life of Jinxie G: Part III
I'd started this post last week, but then it became entirely too personal. Depression had reared its ever-so-ugly head yet again, but I've got a handle on it now and can write somewhat sanely about it. You know that edge of depression, where you're fucking teetering, about to lose your balance and fall over? I'd passed… Continue reading The Secret Life of Jinxie G: Part III
Labor Day Celebration Multi-Author Event
....because giveaways are always fun! That's right, it's time for another event with awesome prizes like a Kindle Fire and Amazon gift cards! When: Now! I mean, August 31st through September 4th. Where: Online, of course, on Facebook. Prizes: I already told you the big ones, but each author throughout the event will be giving… Continue reading Labor Day Celebration Multi-Author Event
The Secret Life of Jinxie G, Part II
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
Adventures in Comiconland
...when I'm not actually working the event. Phoenix Comicon was the last weekend in May this year and I had a blast, even though my body was basically all "fuck you" after walking for two days straight. Originally, I was only supposed to go for one day, but my friend Gary Wilson over at Nightstalker… Continue reading Adventures in Comiconland
