Man Your Own Jackhammer: Gateway
http://icecreamphilosophy.blogspot.com/2008/02/gateway.html
Man Your Own Jackhammer. Thursday, February 28, 2008. My dad, when he was my age, decided he would go to the library, look at the sci-fi section, start at the upper left hand corner and work his way right and down. So he did. Anyway, one day he gave me. An most ancient classic by Frederick Pohl. He said, "There is surprise at the end, m'lad. Read on.". He said the same thing about. So I had some skepticism about this. And so, though I was bored in reading it, and though the ending seemed to have next to ...

http://icecreamphilosophy.blogspot.com/2012/04/what-would-you-write-with-opportunity.html
Man Your Own Jackhammer. Sunday, April 08, 2012. What Would You Write, with Opportunity to Do It? What story would give you paroxysms of bliss to discover it coming from your imagination? Yesterday I saw Christopher Moore. Give a talk to promote his new book,. He's a clever dude, and with Neil Gaiman. A whimsical horror novel. Since then he has written almost only whimsical horror, and been successful at it, if not successfully frightening all the time. But we take what is proffered. His air ...Take this...

http://icecreamphilosophy.blogspot.com/2012/04/speech-im-about-to-deliver.html
Man Your Own Jackhammer. Saturday, April 21, 2012. A Speech I'm about to Deliver. Aristotle’s definition of man: “Man is a reasoning animal.”. Niccolo Machiavelli on the possession of power: “Some are born to power, some rise to it, while others have power thrust upon them.”. And the Dalai Lama on the voice of the universe: “The universe has no voice of its own. We are the voice of the universe.”. Are you destined to be a hunchback? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Man Your Own Jackhammer: Mr. Midshipman Hornblower
http://icecreamphilosophy.blogspot.com/2008/03/mr-midshipman-hornblower.html
Man Your Own Jackhammer. Wednesday, March 05, 2008. Damme if I'll let him see he has made me angry."- Captain Sir Edward Pellew. Apart from this strange spelling of damn, this is a thought provoking piece of dialog. This is a direct quote from the book. An interesting sort of juxtaposition. A good piece of literature and a good movie adaptation and the changes that were made and the changes that were not. Oz, the Mad. Which is why Jenny is the mentore. Don't get me started on adapting books for film!

Man Your Own Jackhammer: From Script to Descripting: A Short Story Story
http://icecreamphilosophy.blogspot.com/2012/03/from-script-to-descripting-short-story.html
Man Your Own Jackhammer. Wednesday, March 07, 2012. From Script to Descripting: A Short Story Story. To all my fans, thank you one person. To all my other readers, I'm glad the fourteen of your are patient. To my eight specific critics, whose opinions I nought but respect, you guys are sometimes a bunch of adamant crazies. One time during a UGWP. Why, they said, put yourself through the headache? This song was nearly picked at random. I like it anyway:. Labels: Cellar Door Anthology. The One and Only John.

Man Your Own Jackhammer. Friday, March 20, 2015. The Verbosity of the Lamb: The Cyborg Anatomy of Stories. Kristen Lamb is an intelligent and eloquent writer and blogster. You can see her blog here. She does this thing that many writers do, which is to describe the methods and means of storytelling and writing via metaphor. A sensible mode of instruction, of course. Tried and true as a thing that's been tried a lot and determined to be pretty true. Characters, she says, are like your story's heart. I thi...

Should auld acquaintance be forgot! And eggnog something something! Should ault acquaintance be forgot! That line is really annoying now! Assume you've gone crazy! The One and Only John.

Man Your Own Jackhammer: Multi-Tasking, While Impossible, Still Sounds a Good Idea
http://icecreamphilosophy.blogspot.com/2012/04/multi-tasking-while-impossible-still.html
Man Your Own Jackhammer. Monday, April 02, 2012. Multi-Tasking, While Impossible, Still Sounds a Good Idea. Short stories. Lots of them. I'm going to remind myself of my novel daily, but I'm going to bring my study of creating short fiction to the forefront of my creative attention. That's it. Not too complicated. I seem to go on a kick like this every now and then, usually with more confidence than the last time. We'll see how this one goes. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Agony and the Satire.
