Other than computing I'm into #horror both movies and #books. Recently decided to get a Kindle and get #reading again to help fuel my #creativewriting.
I like to post #digitalart/#aiart as well! It fun and interesting stuff.
#Introduction time. Hi I'm Jeze! Here I plan on focus on a few particular passions- #horror, #technology, and #creativewriting. A trifecta of interests held together with the chewing gum that is my limited vocabulary. I've always found the intersection of these hobbies appealing. Images will be posted along with articles and thoughts if I feel the need. There has been an itch inside of me to get a story/stories out there as well which I plan on weaving in.
I adore retro anything from tech to video games. All of it. I'll definitely be indulging in those things here!
Thanks for taking the time. Eyeballs are an important commodity in today's internet and having anyone interested in reading just a few sentences of what I put out there is a welcome surprise.
Finally tried out a local coffee shop, their almond milk hazelnut latte is fire! Seems like a cozy spot to hang out and write for a bit before going home to continue being creative.
I'm putting together a #creativewriting coaching business and I need guinea pigs.
For #FREE I will fully critique any story up to 10,000 words. In return, all I ask is for a testimonial for my website. Message me.
I have a BA in English lit, an MFA in playwriting, experience working in theater. I've had plays and books produced and published respectively. I even wrote freelance erotica.
Resident Son and I were discussing how different sorts of narrative - film, TV, novels - create engagement with characters. He pointed me towards a piece about doing that in computer games.
I found it very interesting and well worth a watch, whatever medium you're using to write your story.
Today's archive essay "Blood in the Water? Where does it come from?"
Where does the modern writer, living in peace and prosperity, get the inspiration and information needed to accurately convey the blood, sweat and tears of hand-to-hand combat to the reader?
A blogpost from 2001 sharing my experience of having my books translated, in this case, into Dutch. Since then, similar issues have arisen with other languages. It's really interesting when these things crop up.
For those who might not know, since 2013, students from Pembroke College have organised an annual public lecture in honour of J.R.R. Tolkien.
The lecture series promotes the study of fantasy literature, and advances our understanding of it, by inviting influential and talented speakers to share their ideas on the field.

I'd love to get a few more sign ups for my metaphor course before we kick off in a couple of weeks ✨✒✨
As well as looking at what makes a really good metaphor, we'll explore the opportunities (and challenges) offered by speculative genre tropes 🧝🏼♀️🧟♀️👩🏿🚀
