    Day Twenty-Four: The Sorath Tie-In #DoMagick

    It’s important at this point to discuss the Sorath tie-in to this months #DoMagick. It seems the model, regardless its setting, brings a lot of attention to the magician using it. Not always good attention either. I’ve not changed the model specifically because I do feel that I need to learn to weather that spotlight and that these experiences are actually…

    #Nanowrimo 2017

    So Wednesday (I guess that’s today) begins National Novel Writing Month (Nanowrimo, or sometimes Nano, to the seasoned veterans out there). For anyone writing a novel in November, that means approximately 1,700 words a day for thirty straight days. The goal is to reach 50,000 words, which is the minimum threshold for a short commercial novel. This month I’m working…

Today’s realization…

I have to admit that I think I need more active sequencing in the structure of my poses. So I might revamp…

    Day 25: Classes and Teaching #DoMagick

    Today was the day I immersed myself in Daemonolatry and Magick, like I do almost every Sunday. I did my normal temple routine, worked with my Sorath model for about fifteen minutes, taught two classes (cancelled the third due to lack of attendees), and did a handful of readings.  I also had a chance to talk with a friend about…

    Day 24: Snails #DoMagick

    Haha! Snails may move slow, they they still often make it to where they want to go. Just plodding along. Seriously – nothing new. All I can do at this point is my daily work and work. Spent the day answering email, chatting with editors and collaborators on projects. Working out schedules and organizing for Comic Con. Not much else…
