Nighttime blabbering 360

The story for this month is nearly ready. I got it back from my editor, but I need to hire one more editor to run through it just to make sure everything is in order. So far, the idea is great, the execution is good, but it can be better, and the length is satisfying. …

Nighttime blabbering 359

Hello, hello, my Commanders in Quill and blogging fiends. It's been a while since I was this productive. Well, first thing first. Working for the Association (that helps me publish my four novels) and running their site is kind of demanding. Lately, I began running some major things around their online portal and monitoring social …

Zero-day (story and critique) FREE

Zero-day By Shawn   Cashier typed in a cup of coffee the third time in a row, shook his head, scoffed, and gave me an apologetic look. “Sorry. It is the system. This is the fifth time this afternoon. We must be under serious attack“ he proclaimed and gave it another shot until he gave …

Nighttime blabbering 358

Wow, I am in a really short time to write this. Um, it's about to be 22:00H here, usual time when I post my blabberings, and I had so much to do today that I forgot to find the time and write for you. Here I am, at 21:57H, typing, typing, typing. I mean, see …

Nighttime blabbering 357

Writing a story, writing a novel, writing essays about heroes and modern vision of what they represent. I am pretty busy with writing. That's what I wanted and this is what I do. In a way, it is fun to mentally go back to some happy time when all I did was trying to follow …

Congratulations to me and this little blog for achieving the anniversary of talking nonsense. It has been a year. For this occasion, I intended to make a special post. I wanted to write something you would like to read and perhaps learn a thing or two. I asked what you would like and Commander Viola …

Nighttime blabbering 355

Get ready for tomorrow night Commanders. It's going to be brutal. Just in time for Halloween. Something about the ghosts, something about the evil spirits and creatures of old. Slavic mythology kind of stuff can be inspiring for lots of things, like stories, novels and other forms of art. There's a big collection of mythological …

Nighttime blabbering 354

Two more days and the special post is coming. Yeah, I wrote it. I had time to do it, but to find time for other things I've planned, well that is another story. Mentioning stories, I wanted to write two more, one for Patreon, and one for the blog, but I prioritized working on that …

Nighttime blabbering 353

I didn't want to say it, but I guess I'll have to. Ugh, for the past few weeks, I am on and off about editing a novella I have. It is epic fantasy, very into realism, so now, I am taking efforts to read it whole and turn up those fantasy elements to some intriguing …

Zero-Day (out now)

"Zero-day" is a story about cyber attacks and the evolution of the battleground, active use of the technology and software as a weapon to subdue the enemy without too many loses. What I assumed in the story is a far more defeating idea that this sort of warfare will cause even more collateral damage, than …
