Don’t Try Too Hard

on January 16th, 2010 by acefspades

It is rather uncommon to find a writer who doesn’t want to be top notch. Most want recognition, and let’s face it, recognition is hard to come by. Sometimes this leads writers to push too hard, and not in the sense that they work beyond exhaustion (that is wrong also but it’s not what I’m [...]

Focus when Writing

on January 14th, 2010 by acefspades

It may sound dumb and way too simple, yet it is very true; if you don’t focus you can’t write. Well, that may have come out a tad dramatic, but the idea is there. If your mind is out and about then any ideas that come are useless. They may serve as amusement, but that [...]

How To Write Your Soul

on January 14th, 2010 by acefspades

Today I was checking this page’s stats, and I found that some of the keywords that  had led to visits were how to write form your soul. So the question is there floating around, I might as well attempt to answer it. Of course, there is no one correct answer, and any attempts to kill [...]

Frozen Hands

on January 11th, 2010 by acefspades

They won’t warm up, my hands, no they won’t. And that is troublesome becuase it makes playing piano hard. My hands are numb, my fingers are stiff, and my new decade’s resolution of playing the piano daily for at least one hour is becoming jeopardized. I haven’t broken my resolution yet, but I hope the [...]

Writing Project

on January 9th, 2010 by acefspades

Everybody is young once, and he was once a young man. On one of the days of his youth, he built a room in the woods that bordered his city to the north. That is the beginning of the project I am working on right now. I have been writing a lot about it in [...]

Next Read

on January 8th, 2010 by acefspades

I have been reading  Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell, yet my mind is already on my next read. Don’t get me wrong, Outliers is a stimulating book that states that no one succeeds purely on individual merit, but Ian McEwan has been calling for some time. On Chesil Beach is a novel shortlisted for the Booker [...]

A New Deacde

on January 1st, 2010 by acefspades

It is not only the end of yet another year, it is also the beginning of a decade, and a lot of the people I’ve talked to seem to have forgotten. Why do I care? Simply put, because if it is important to start a new year upright with winds of chage for the good [...]

Song of the Decade

on December 27th, 2009 by acefspades

Very much unlike my Book of the Decade, choosing my Song of the Decade was rather simple. There is one song that stands out from the rest, not only because of its music or lyrics but also because the impact it had on my life. When I was a young man, well, younger still than [...]

Book of the Decade

on December 25th, 2009 by acefspades

Not what I expected, not at all. It is November, and there is a struggle as to which book I would pick to grant it this honour. The contest is between Paul Auster’s The Book of Illusions and Jon McGregor’s So Many Ways to Begin. Two very different novels in so may ways, yet similar [...]

Pianos

on September 21st, 2009 by acefspades

Alright, so I’ve left this site quite abandoned in the last few months, but I’ll try to pick up the flow again. So, what’s new? Not much, the world turns, life goes on, little changes, and exhaustion reigns over all. Until today. Because yes, today I finally left the house and went to look at [...]
