So right now we have a concept and have outlined a plot.  We ... http://www.timemachineofguam.com/2010/03/31/script-frenzy-drama-comedy/ It's virtually impossible to ignore Twilight.  Especially if you are a married guy.  Even more so if you are LDS. Here's the deal: The book came out in 2006.  It's 3 1/2 years old.  Pretty much 60% of the women that I know about have read it.  Move into the LDS ... http://www.timemachineofguam.com/2010/03/25/twilight/ Unless you are a professional speed reader,  chances are that I read faster than you.  And not just the more obvious aspect of words per minute, but also tenaciously.  If I am eating breakfast at home, unless it's a family meal (as in we are all sitting together), then I ... http://www.timemachineofguam.com/2010/03/05/i-read-faster-than-you-do/ I'll be blunt...I don't know much of anything about writing audio dramas.  In fact, I'm not sure I know anything about writing.  With that in mind, I am trying to get in the mind frame appropriate for writing more fiction.  The audio drama will be centered around the entire TMOG ... http://www.timemachineofguam.com/2010/03/04/audio-drama-pov-self-flagellation/ I am currently writing three major stories (or that's how I think of it--whether or not they go anywhere, are any good, or even get finished remains to be seen), one of which is a steampunk setting.  It is the story which derives its main ideas from a joke that ... http://www.timemachineofguam.com/2009/05/07/steampunk-dreams/ It's all about distractions.  It's the same reason I have an enormously difficult time finishing anything other than a 3000-word story.  I can plan enormously large and beautifully complex stories (or I like to think I can), but the true test is in finishing them.  Which I apparently am incapable ... http://www.timemachineofguam.com/2009/05/07/why-i-dont-blog-well/ I wrote this short story in the summer of 1999 while working in Utah for my uncle drilling granite. I was far from any close friends, and I had a fair bit of spare time on my hands when I wasn't working 10 to 12 hour shifts. At that time ... http://www.timemachineofguam.com/2009/02/26/treachery/ While this story is much shorter than some of my other stories, I do like it. It illustrates a number of things, but mostly that sometimes we make decisions without even considering that we don't have all the relevant information, let alone what that information is. Of course, when you ... http://www.timemachineofguam.com/2009/02/26/irony/ This story was written about the same time as Treachery (summer 1999) and is one of my favorites from that time period. It speaks to me about the power of a single individual to change another individual's life. I think we run into people like that a lot in our ... http://www.timemachineofguam.com/2009/02/26/eia/ It has been some time in the making, but I have finally come up with a modified wordpress theme that I am quite happy with.  I'm not sure how happy I'll stay with every element, but overall this is one that I like.  The Time Machine of Guam, however, now ... http://www.timemachineofguam.com/2009/02/26/the-move-to-wordpress/
