Hello Blogger, my old friend

So, this was a pretty last minute decision, not gonna lie. My due date for the subscription of WordPress.com's domain mapping was due tomorrow. And last night, I just decided on a whim that I was cancelling it and moving my domain elsewhere. It wasn't so much that WordPress.com has been an awful experience, I've been using it for many years now, but I just got kinda tired of the lack of control and customization. That's part of it. Like, I'm stuck with WordPress comments, I can't switch it to something else like Disqus for example. There were also numerous limitations when it came to embedding content. Only their preferred methods were allowed. If the brand you wanted to use wasn't shown love by WordPress.com, you couldn't use it.

The list could go on and on, really, but even then, I still liked it. The Reader for example was fantastic for following blogs and discovering new content.

All in all, it was a pretty last minute decision. I was just tired. F…

When your working on one story, but want to work on another

As you may know, we've been busting away at Night Aggressions, both writing/editing and publishing at the Emerald Dragon blog each Friday. And since that's my current WIP, as they say, it's a real shame that a story idea I'd had a while back crept back into my head and won't go away.

"WRITE ME! WRITE ME!" She demands.

You ever have that happen during your writing? Annoying isn't it? Sometimes I'll write like a single scene or a couple of scenes/chapters just to appease. Or maybe just jot down as many notes as I can for later. Lately I've been pretty good about ignoring the urge to write something out of turn, but man oh man... that urge is so strong today.

Probably too late to start tonight, but I'll probably cram out a wee scene or chapter in the coming days. I may just post it here, to tease, and see what ya'll think.

So seriously though, you ever struggle with dueling ideas? How do you battle it? Do you have a will of stone? Are you …

Journey to Babylon

So we decided to go out west this summer, on a long vacation. Trekking from Missouri out to Seattle, Washington by car (actually, a Jeep Liberty). While the trip served many purposes, it also was an interesting journey into Babylon for myself and opened up all sorts of new possibilities for my Babylonian chronicles.

You see, for years I've been writing stories in or around Babylon, a fictional city I created that is sort of in another reality/universe, but not all that different from our own. I've always been a little hazy on the details with my readers, not daring say exactly where Babylon was located in the United States, but still building up details as I go.

The fact of the matter is that the location of Babylon grew out of a host of different elements. Let me run you down the gauntlet, and then I'll finally spill the beans a bit more about my city Babylon. You'll be able to pinpoint it on a map by the time I'm done.

In the beginning, there was noir...
