There was once a time where I would have to have an idea in place to be able to write anything about it. Whether it was an article or a story, it would have to work its way into my brain, or be put there by someone or some suggestion. Over time I've noticed I slowly see more things with my writer brain.
When I hear about an event or something that I want to write about, I automatically start listing the facts and formatting the paragraphs in my head.
When I have an idea for a story I begin to plot out the different acts, the conflict, the resolution.
When I come up with a new character, I begin to immediately give them depth to see if they're someone I would be interested enough in including in a story.
I just realized all of this today when writing on a pretty strict time limit, I had no problem spewing forth a couple hundred witty words in minutes. I can say I'm pretty pleased with myself.
It only took like... twenty years.
Sorry For The Confusion

I see that I still have a couple subscribers left. A couple visitors, everyday.
That is appreciated. I stopped writing about the previous subjects because my blogging was becoming reactive, not proactive. I was writing about other people's writing. Other people's art. I had to wait for them to do something before I could do something. I got tired of relying on other's to create something, so that I could.
It wasn't the way I wanted to write.
Now I am restarting the blog, as it was intended to be. Me, writing for the sake of writing. I still enjoy writing about comic books, and Batman, and science, and general geekery. If you want to read about that, I would direct you to a blog I contribute to: DeadlyRoundhouse.com. If you stick around here, you will read me covering everything else.
So here is your warning.
