Making strides in the evolution of modern myth and legend, the Bigfoot has been one of the earliest and most culturally reliable bits of folklore that has embedded itself in humanity worldwide.

I got the chance to talk to author of the Orion's Spur series, Alan Hansen about the first book in his series, Demeter and I had a lot of fun! I could talk to this guy for hours, but I think he has something really enjoyable and important going on with this series. Like we discussed, its important to read for a good laugh and a smile, but if we can shine a little light on something as detrimental as bullying? All the better!

Halloween is one of everyones favorite time of the year! We have tons of classic horror films, radio dramas, short stories, costume parties to get through, all in just a good couple of days! We have a lot of contributing origins to what we have now as the hallowed holiday. And I think my favorite is the idea that we all come together collectively to have a good laugh at what terrifies us, taking away its power over us, all over a few dollar store candy bags. Happy Halloween everyone!

I think these guys are who we think of the most when we think iconic sci-fi heroes. Who can really top Neo or Luke Skywalker? But what sets them apart from me and you, the everyman?

Politics is a fantastic writing tool to use to make a story BIG, because it helps scale whatever is happening in the background of a story. Watch something like The Expanse or Star Trek and you'll see that its something that those shows would not be as great without because politics makes things more relatable, more intriguing, and all the more real.

There is not a single thing that this show does correctly. Coming from the same studio that brought us Fallout, The Boys, Invincible, and a few other great shows? I am beyond disappointed. I'm LIVID! Here's my rant about it.

Whether we dedicate time to creating great tomes of literary works, private journals, academic essays and treatises, we all face the same manner of inhibitions: writers block, envy, self doubt, giving ourselves excuses and ways out of doing what we need to do to succeed. We can overcome these roadblocks, I promise you!

If I cast a spell with a wand and all my problems are solved......did I learn or gain anything? I didnt go on any kind of journey or fact finding mission, I just solved my problems. Is that a build up of hubris? And does it make for lazy story creations?
