The Block is Bullshit (and Other News)
I’m convinced the whole writer’s block thing is bullshit. Let me tell you why. The only time I’ve ever been tempted to use that excuse for an alleged “lack of creativity” isn’t because I was uninspired. I just wasn’t in the right frame of mind for writing, the right mood, and in some cases I was just using it as…

Discrimination & Discernment
I actually got this post idea from the esoteric author Sorita d’Este after she asked the question on her FB “How important is discrimination on a magical and spiritual path? And … how often is discrimination ignored because of a feeling that one should be more “accepting” of others?” It’s a brilliant question actually. My answer to it will probably…

LEGION Update
We currently have three “how I came to my path” stories and two poems. Oh – did I mention I decided a few poems would be nice? While I don’t want to go overboard on the poetry, if you do have some (preferably on topic of what Satan has meant to you or how Satanism has changed you), I am very open to…

Monday Garden Update
So over the weekend I spent a little time hanging out in the garden, just checking out how the plants were doing. The short answer is they’re doing awesome! I kind of laugh at myself because at the beginning of May when I took the plants out of the Aerogarden and put them in pots, you probably remember me crying…

Traditional vs. Indie
The debate rages on. Recently some online writing acquaintances were talking about their concern that their indie material might make it so that no one takes them seriously as writers. These are great writers btw (from what I’ve read). I can only surmise the only reason they’re not traditionally publishing some of their work is because the publishing houses can only print…

An Erotic Q&A
I actually had a friend ask me recently why I don’t write posts about erotica or bdsm on this blog. I guess I just never thought to really blog about it. ::shrug:: So today it’s time for a little bdsm and erotica Q&A! If you are square or have no interest in erotica please skip this post. You may learn more about me than you…

Reader Reaction
So I read a book a few weeks back that really left me with a strong, negative reaction when I’d finished with it. It was a short story collection called Three by Blades. My initial reaction was to jump onto Amazon and give the book an awful review, calling it depraved, sick, and absolutely revolting. If you know me – you know…

Random Encounter
Today I feel like telling a little story about how I met one of my favorite authors. While working as a library assistant in the ninth grade (sometime back in the 1980’s), the librarian had a cache of “banned books” that had been snatched from students. These books were randomly kept behind the checkout desk in a little nook. Mrs.…

Wobble Wednesday
Evidently Weebles wobble, but they don’t fall down. Just so you all know… So today is day three of the exterior renovation of the house. Evidently the roofers called this morning wondering if they could start work Friday. Problem is, we don’t know if the stone contractors will be done with the front steps and porch by then (they told…

Dream File
Here’s another interesting dream for the dream file. So I walk into the basement at the family business office. I’m wearing shorts and I feel something bizarre on my legs. Like cold prickles. I look down and there are huge webs everywhere. No spiders that I can see, just tons of webs. Funny thing is, when I walk through them…
