Not a New Trend...

No- certainly what I offer here is not a new trend by any means.  Every author has a blog [usually have their own SITE too- but starving artists like me have to start somewhere, right?] and even more have bloated egos that demand care and feeding from some form of discipleship...  In that regard, perhaps I'm no different and I've certainly started no new trends as yet.  That said-

What's offered here is a look into my writing process and some sneak-peeking of a novel I'm struggling to write called "PULSE".  More on "The 6 W's" about the novel later...

With this first jotted note, is the usual caveat that the work I present here is copyrighted and I am the soul owner of any and all intellectual property here-in. If any of my tentacles in the fringe elements see your work containing my work- there'll be words.  I don't care what format it's in- if I think it's mine, most likely I've got it printed/written somewhere and you scarfed it.  Let's agree not to do so- or at the very least give me credit/royalties where due.

Also note that I will- under no circumstances- NOT read, comment on or otherwise "help" you with your own works- not because I don't want to but because if I even remotely acknowledge the existance of your work, it has the bad habit of coming around int eh form of cease-n-desist or some kind of intellectual property dispute.

Your work is your work and I really am happy for you in your ventures- wanna talk about publishers or getting that break- let's do that- but don't ask me to look at your work so "I can tell you what I think of it".  I can't and you shouldn't.

Again- welcome to the Blog Side of my novelization grunts and groans- I hope this'll be interesting and perhaps educational to you as it progresses!
