Long Train Running

Without Love, I guess I would be here now, now, now.      

            Welcome again wrench-twisters to another Diesel-topia of a blog post. Everywhere I go, all I hear from the writing magazines is 'journal.' Mostly I try not to sprain an optic nerve whilst rolling my eye in a disdainful manner.

   So, you greasy gears get to suffer/endure my ranting and raving as a sad form of therapy and catharsis. : P


      I am pleased and/or proud to inform you all that I am sort of competing in NaNoWriMo 2014. Sort of, in that I already have 3 50,000 word drafts that need my attention in the upcoming years. 2013 was my Drow Sheriff story that needs totally rewritten. 2012 was my series of Dieselpunk short stories set in Tecumseh. My October 31 desire was to begin editing these…immediately! Sigh. 2011 was my Sky Pirates, which I think was one of my best world building ideas but maybe not the best story.  I hope someday I am not begging and pleading with you to read it.  2010 was my first attempt at NaNo and was my Jack Brass steampunk story.  Sad.  Just don’t mention it again.

            And so here we are.  Questions?

Dieselpunk City name running through my head

So no big revelation, except that Mr. Sleepy Dreamtime has barfed out some muy brilliante pieces of awesome. For the unenlightened, Mr. Sleepy Dreamtime is what I call the bits of writing brilliance I get from my post-nocturnal dream interpretation and remembrances. Scary, huh?
(The list is too long for me to go on here, but let me say, MSD helped me finish NaNo 2010, even if it was with drivel!)

So, I dreamed the name for the blog. Sort of a mashup of Demigods and Gothic. It sort of sounds like a font, and thanks for making me think of that Gerald!

The next was the city name I plan on using for my Dieselpunk experiment for the near future. More about this soon, but I wanted a biggish city with a small city feel. Like the city I live in. Hence the name, Tecumseh. (Its so cool, I smile every time I think of it!) I'm such a geek.

Welcome, everyone and no one!

The great spaces of the Internet be filled with randomness! Experiamus!

So I am wondering if it is such a good idea to blog about my un-named steam punk world, considering I have written one novella, one short story, & not been published.
