A new movie!

I gotta recommend ‘Outpost’ for those of us who love horror and action.  Actually a unique concept blending Nazi ghosts and zombies.  It stars Ray Stevenson who played the latest incarnation of the Punisher and was released in 2008. 

The movie blends horror and science together along with mercenaries in a suspenseful tangled web that will shock your pants off when you figure it out!

Great movie and I gave it 5 Stars even though it didn’t terrify me it did keep me engrossed and the different spin provided a great freshness to the genre!

movie I’ve ever seen.  Rock-a-billy vs. Heavy Metal forty years after a nuclear war.  I can not recommend this move enough!

What is it you ask?  Why am I holding out on you?

OK fine.

“Six String Samurai”

OUTSTANDING MOVIE!!

Some major news

2009 June 11

Well everyone it’s been awhile since I’ve been on here and its rather obvious part of it is because of my daughter but I’ve also been learning more about myself and my writing.

Most of you know I’ve had a poem selected for publishing in Horror In Words and I’ve actually submitted another to them for consideration but I’ve also been figuring out new writing software.  Something cool and funky but that I’m also very comfortable using and that would be Q10.  I love it.  Typewriter sounds when I hit keystrokes and a big black screen with no toolbars.  I LOVE IT!!

Another great epiphany for me has been the new title for what was formerly known as “Journals of the Apocalypse” (or JotA).  The new title is more fitting and streamlined. 

CIVILIZATION: END

I’m very excited about this and just printed off the 100 pages of JotA that I have done so I can begin edits and rewrites that I’ve been contemplating for months now.

Also the biggest news, which I’m not afraid to announce on here since only my friends typically read this, is the announcement of my new penname and the new writing blog I’m currently setting up.  My new penname is Benjamin Kotz and the blog is located here.  It is still rather barebones but I’m continuing to add to it.  If you have any suggestions for it I’d love to hear them!

Have you made a backup lately?

We have huge, slow moving thunderstorms about to make their grand appearance in our area so I did what I tell all my clients to do. 

Make a Backup

I backed up my Page Four software to flash drive and for my buddy Darcknyt up in Chi-Town, I made a zip of the archive and stored it on my work server. 

That is all the ‘important’ stuff I’m working on and could NOT stand to lose at all.  I hope everyone has a great Tuesday!

Sometimes you just have to laugh…

I’m working on a new writing project that I hope to submit for publishing.  To help improve my craft, I decided to outline the new short story to ‘follow the rules.’ 

Funny part is I only ended up with 2 major bullet items (Part 1 and Part 2) and 3 sub-items under each.  Either I suck at outlining or I didn’t go into enough detail.  Typically I write by the seat of my pants so maybe this wasn’t the best time to try something new but looking down at my little outline in Word (that’s good enough for now) was pretty damn funny.  Most times I have diarrhea of the typing fingers but doing this outline I sure was constipated!
