  As you read the headline, I know what you must all be thinking: “But Jim, you’re a writer. How can you possibly hate writing?” In reality, hate is probably too strong of a word. I love writing and there’s nothing… Read More ›

• Welcome to the Writer’s Apocalypse

  By JimMaster on December 27, 2017

  I’ve always found the word “apocalypse” to be fascinating. It can mean a prophetic revelation, but it can also mean a widespread or universal destruction or disaster. As a Christian and a Horror Writer, both those definitions weigh heavy on… Read More ›

  I recently finished reading “Half Sick of Shadows” by Laura Sebastian. It’s a great retelling of the classic Arthurian legend. The rise and fall of King Arthur are seen through the eyes of Lady Elaine of Shalott. She grows up… Read More ›

• Getting out of your Comfort Zone

  By JimMaster on April 30, 2022 • ( 0 )

  

  I’m an introvert by both nature and preference. If you gave me a choice between sitting at home, alone, reading a book or going to a party filled with people…it really isn’t much of a choice. I’ll take 300 pages… Read More ›

• Lies about Storytelling

  By JimMaster on April 23, 2022 • ( 0 )

  

  It’s been about a year since I last wrote about some lies about writing. Well, that’s not entirely true because it was more like a rant about the lies authors tell you. Now, after a year of deep thinking, mixed… Read More ›

  This will be my obligatory “rant about finding the time to write” column. It seems like I write something like this every year. So, if you’re not wanting to read something along those lines, then you’ve been warned.  On March… Read More ›

• Review of The Batman 

  By JimMaster on March 10, 2022 • ( 0 )

  Growing up, Michael Keaton was my Batman. Val Kilmer, George Clooney, and growly voiced Christian Bale had nothing when pitted up against Keaton’s rendition. Don’t get me started on Batfleck, ugh. There was something about Keaton’s portrayal of Bruce Wayne… Read More ›
