SorryIt’s been a while since I’ve had the opportunity to write anything that wasn’t work related in some way.  This happens, work takes over and I set aside all the enjoyable things I do so I can make ends meet.  I forgo the few hours of daily writing for a few long hours of work and then the days pass into weeks, then on to months.  Suddenly, my stories are just whispers of legend, long forgotten in my mind, but bits and pieces surface as a reminder that those words long to be on paper and the legends cry to be reborn.

Today, I set aside time, juggled my schedule and sat before the keyboard. Words flow into sentences, sentences form paragraphs, and paragraphs fill a page, then two and three. I miss this time where I live in the life of characters spawned for imagination, my imagination.

For the first time in a long while, I am not handing myself the above card. It feels good.

In Her Name – Michael R. Hicks

God Of Nothing

Empire Empire, Book One of the Redemption Trilogy of the In Her Name Series
By Michael R. Hicks

For far to long I’ve been ignoring the writer in me so I could bring into focus the rest of my life, I needed to bring people and things that really mattered to me to the forefront of my existence.  Having made those necessary changes and adjustments to my life I returned to my keyboard and screen.

The screen was blank and the keys played no tippity-tap music. I was empty and my story had been pushed to far back in my mind to spill out onto the pages. Then I realized the mistakes I had made. First, I should have continued to write, even if it was just a few paragraphs a week – about anything. And, second, I should have read more. I hadn’t read a book in more than a…

Seven Deathly Soles

Seven Deathly Soles

It seems my life is full of projects, one following another, sometimes overlapping in waves of tasks and to-do lists that sometimes seem overwhelming. Its never-ending, writing projects, work projects, personal projects, on and on. I’m not complaining though. There is a messed-up part of me, deep down inside that enjoys all the hectic tension and stress of living under a deadline of some sort.

My favorite projects are always the writing projects. While writing I get to live in the minds and worlds of some character I’ve created.  If I’m lucky, that character is massively flawed, torn, and lost. If I’m very lucky, that character gets to find their way back from the Hell I’ve put them in. At times, it works out for them or not, but it’s always pure enjoyment for me.

Lately, I’ve had some special projects, ones that I am honored to be a part of.  I’ve had the chance to be set aside some very awesome and talented authors. Both Seven Deadly Sins and now, Seven Deathly Soles have some incredible stories by some remarkable writers.

On to the next project, Machina will be a blast to write.

Purchase Seven Deadly Sins II here.

Purchase Seven Deadly Sins II here.

In between life’s responsibilities, I’ve been hitting the keys as much as I can.  Mind you, its never as much as I would like but a writer does what can be done in the time one has.

One of my recent works is Left, a seriously twisted science fiction short about a woman who is left behind on a scouting mission, captured by an strange alien force, and it gets worse from there.  She returns to exact her revenge on those she feels are guilty. Wrath, a deadly sin. She pushes the envelope beyond simple revenge. Warning, this is not a story for the weak of heart.

Left has been published by 7DS Books in an anthology and I’m proud to say that I was invited to join six other fantastic and amazing authors. Today happens to be the Siniversary, which you can check out and join in on the fun on Facebook and pick up the Kindle version for free. Or just click the image to the right.

Read it, let me know what you think. I hope you enjoy it.

A Sunday Evening Post

It’s been awhile since I’ve been here.  I’ve been letting my life run things for a bit, taking me in all sorts of directions but its time to change that.  My need to write is always there, poking me as I try to sleep every night.  I keep ignoring it for other things or I’m writing but just not on my blogs.

With this change, I’ve decided to stir things up a bit.  First, I’m returning my God of Nothing blog back to its original format, an opinion blog, where I can sound off on anything I feel like sounding off on.  So anything goes, Life, the Universe, and Everything (Thank you Douglas Adams, I miss you!) Hopefully, you will find it entertaining and thought-provoking.

I will keep some of the blog posts on God of Nothing that pertain to writing, my favorite poem from April R. Denton and the guest posts from Julianne Snow, one of my favorite writers.  There will be some posts removed, mostly any of my fiction as that may eventually be moved to my Wolf Scott Blog.

Secondly, my Wolf Scott blog will continue to be more personal and geared more towards my writing as an author.  It will include snippets and news of my current projects, some guest posts from other writers and authors, and perhaps some reviews.

Look for more frequent posts as I get back into the swing of things.  And as always, thank you for reading and please feel free to say a little something about each post you read.

It’s a Mac Jack…

Old Friend…

Tonight, I am writing my blog entry on a Mac for the very first time.  It is a bittersweet thing as I am in the process of retiring my Dell Inspiron 1720 laptop which is pushing seven years in age…in computer years that makes it a relic.  I’ve had several computers, both laptops and desktops, the 1720 has served as the best I’ve owned. Until the last year, I’ve had no problems with it at all. However, increasing slowness, the odd bluescreen or two (or ten), and having to rebuild it twice in as many months has moved me to rethink my technology needs.

So on a whim (actually lots of thought and research), I bought this Mac and to my surprise, its damn nice. I still defiled it by installing Windows 7 on a separate partition but only because I need Windows for work Mac’s let you install other operating systems without much issue unlike PCs. As I am writing this and in my personal life I am using the Mac OS but will use the Windows partition for anything work related. After just a few hours, I am already familiar with the Mac OS.  It is so easy and I now know what all those Mac users were talking about.

The bitter part, this weekend I will repurpose my 1720, giving it new life as my daughter’s laptop. As a 5 year old she won’t worry about its slowness or care how many more times Daddy has to rebuild it.  I will miss my old friend but maybe she’ll write a few good stories…

Falling Down…

The keys to happiness…

It seems it’s been forever since I was able to sit down and write something, anything.  CARMA is under a foot of dust, and my blogs have been a wasteland of emptiness.   This new job in the real world is wonderful but it keeps me all too busy and all too far away from my worlds.  I’ve fallen down and finding it hard to climb my way out of this hole that keeps me away from my passion, writing.  I need to set aside real time to sit and write, even if it’s only a few paragraphs a night.

My personal life, my online life, and everything in between have plummeted into obscurity. I find myself wondering how the hell I let this happen. What happened to my focus? Or rather, why did I change my focus? It’s all very simple really. I was seduced by the work, the ability to be back in the workforce, productive again.  Unfortunately, I enjoy my work and I let it take over, but time to get back to the writing, back to what makes me happiest.

Never let the reality take away the worlds you live in, write them down, word by word until they become the stories that we can all enjoy…

Heading Home…

Skies Afire - Carlsbad at Sunset

Well, almost. I’m not going back to Encinitas, but not far away and still on the coast in Del Mar. My friend Janna would call it close enough. Its been a bumpy and long road, this unemployment thing, this living with family thing, this craziness that I call Hillbillyland. Then only to find employment after I’ve relocated to Hillbillyland. It’s kind of funny.

Getting back hasn’t been as easy as I would have liked but I’m almost there.  I’ve lost a few things but most things can always be replaced. Others, well perhaps certain things just aren’t meant to be held for too long.

I’m almost completely packed and ready with everything in storage until next weekend. Unfortunately, I don’t get the keys until Monday night, so the move is Saturday, bright and early. Still, I am excited to be sleeping on the floor of an empty condo. Though the best part, no more 4 hours a day on the road! I will actually have time to write and not just on napkins and notepads. Writing has been one of the casualties of living so far from work. I miss it the most. The ideas haven’t stopped, they hit me like raindrops in a winter thunderstorm, hard and fast. All I can do is write them down on whatever I can find and hope to get back to them. Now I’ll have the time to get back to them. I’ll be at home.

So a new chapter, a new book in the life of me. I am ready for it all!

The Weekend Cometh…

Edamame at Sushi Deli

It’s an odd thought now but just one month ago I was unemployed and had been so for quite some time. I had become accustomed to the days running into one another for so long that I often didn’t even know what day it was. Time was irrelevant to me. I had no set schedule, no place to be and no one to answer to. Just as odd, is how quickly it all came back to me once I rejoined the workforce. Now time is ever present and again I find myself watching the clock, the seconds ticking away until my time is my own. That looking forward to the weekend thing that we all feel when we are working long hours during the week.

For the first time in several years, I got off work and actually went out for some start-the-weekend-right fun. With the wonderful company of my new co-worker and friend Cassie, it was a wonderful evening of sushi, sake, and great conversation. Cassie introduced me to unfiltered sake and I must tell you it was a sweet tasting drink I highly recommend. And if you are in the San Diego area, make a stop at Sushi Deli. The wait was a little long because it is so popular, but well worth it especially if you are hanging out at the bar.

Being back in the daily grind has it’s moments, but its nice to have that rewarding “me time” again, looking forward to the weekend and actually doing something other than staring at my computer screen all weekend until I pick up my daughter. Thanks to my new friend Cassie for sharing this evening with me and showing me that unfiltered sake is amazing.

Where’s The Time Go?

Liberty Truck

So here it is, another late evening. I’m finally getting to my blog. It’s been awhile. I’ve been so busy with the new job, the very long drive to and from work, and the most important bit of being a dad.

I miss writing. My novel is sitting on the proverbial shelf collecting dust bunnies the size of rhinos. I know that I’ll be getting back to it once I move closer to work and am not spending my time driving all day but for now my creativity is lost to scribbles and notes written in hurried fashion. I keep my notes cataloged for transcription later but I want to get to it.

I guess life is funny that way…you want to go this way and it pulls you that way. For now, I will have to be satisfied with my few paragraphs every other night. Where’s the time go?
