Update

on January 30th, 2010 by acefspades

I left this site abandoned for a while, but it was only because I was on vacation at the beach. It was great, I got to relax and do nothing but boardless surfing, play tennis and read, a lot. I also write and I have a couple of short stories ready to revise, as well [...]

Don’t Think, Write

on January 20th, 2010 by acefspades

To truly write with your soul, you have to erase all distractions, you have to focus on your writing. But this is not enough because, well, some thoughts about writing are distractions too. Focus isn’t enough, you have to beat that side of you who wants to revise every sentence before it writes it down, [...]

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 the [...]

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 [...]

Today I’m tired

on August 1st, 2009 by acefspades

And with fair reason. On Wednesday I went for a coffee with a friend, and I ended so wired up, I wrote freely into deep morrow, around 3:30 AM. It’s a funny story, I had read about an online short story contest, which I had decided to enter. And I got that far, I decided [...]

NaNoWriMo

on August 1st, 2009 by acefspades

Ever heard of NaNoWrMo? It is basically this, starting on November the 1st, you begin writing a novel, which you must end in one month; at least 50000 words. If you succeed, you will be remembered. You won’t get any prizes, thet’s true, the real prize is knowing that you accomplished something bordering on impossible, [...]
