The Sci-Fa genre, Star Wars and The Silver Sphere
Isaac Asimov, once asked to analyze the contrast between science fiction and fantasy, replied that science fiction, given its grounding in science, is possible; fantasy, which has no grounding in reality, is not. Star Wars is a tale of aliens, androids and space ships; but it’s also a yarn of ghosts and magical powers. Does that make Star Wars science fiction, or is it fantasy? My debut novel, The Silver Sphere, is a story that includes swords, witches, and mystical abilities. But it also has starships and advanced space bases. So what genre is this called? Enter Sci-Fa. Science fantasy has been described as a hybrid and branch of speculative fiction building worlds in which either both magic and science work, science is so refined it imitates magic, or...

My Brain Aneurysm; continued.
Invisible transfers, long distance calls, hollow laughter in marble halls. Steps have been taken, a silent uproar…has unleashed the dogs of war. I moved through the mist with purpose in the direction the Lennon clone had motioned. The insidious shapes I had seen earlier in the shadows were gone. Soon, I see a small gathering ahead of me. Lennon sits on a tree stump at their center. I hesitate, and he waves me over. I advance, but the mist gets thicker. I grow fatigued and can’t help slouching closer to the scent of the crisp sod. My eyelids weighty, I sprawl out on the fluffy green and nod off. I sense light, and open my eye. My left one is covered. I stare up at the drop ceiling tiles of the hospital room. My throat is dry...

My Brain Aneurysm
Well, I think I’m ready to write about the brain aneurysm I suffered awhile back. It was father’s day. My first as a beaming dad. I spent the day proudly pushing my baby boy’s carriage through town. That night, I had a hockey game. Perfect way to end the day, I thought, playing my favorite sport. That was my last league game. During the game, a hulking defenseman cross-checked me down to my knees, and a throbbing launched in my head. The doctor said he saved my life *Thank you hulking defenseman*. He had hit me just right, where the aneurysm lurking in the artery in my head did not erupt, but instead began to leak. My head actually felt better when I skated. Hunched on the bench, the pain steadily increased. I scored my last two goals in an official...

Aspiring Writers
So if you are reading this; you are probably an aspiring writer. I wanted to share some of my own personal experiences of completing a professionally edited final draft. Well, it may not be final. As a writer, I find myself always going through my critiques from beta readers and some critique services and coming up with ideas to improve my WIP. I also received a revision request from a top agent; and she was spot on. I finished them recently, had it edited and sent them back and who knows; there may be more revisions on their way. Analyzing feedback as we know is all subjective. Some beta readers dislike multiple points of views, and others enjoy the variety. But as the author, deep down in the depths of your writing soul you will see what resonates with you...
