For a brief minute, I was going to create a new blog for this entry, separate from my Rants & Raves one but I decided that I no longer need to separate myself from myself. I play video games and love to talk about it, I love a variety of television shows, films and comic books and I love to read and write. I am all of these things so if you are on my personal blog, you should get all of these things.
In the last month I have decided to dig back into writing again seriously. I always had this story gestating in my brain (as you will soon see) and I kept telling myself, one day I would write it, one day I will put pen to paper and tell their story and breathe life into these characters who have lived rent free in my head for decades. I kept delaying it by saying, I can't write something of this scope so early in my writing career and it would take time but I realized as the years go by I am not getting any younger. I kept making it a mystical undertaking, like climbing Mount Everest and I was at the bottom of the summit. However I realized that this undertaking can not be done if I do not start taking steps.
So I have been using tools I did not have when I was much younger Phillip. I started looking up free writer resources on Youtube to help me put my ideals more into a manageable pile. I have use AI to clean up something I always felt was one of my bigger flaws when writing which is sentence structure and speaking in the right tense. I have even used modern technologies so my teaser images I used to create now look much more professional and polished as you see above and it does not stop there.
When I am done with the writing, I hope to even get into the world of self publishing and I no longer feeling I need a big public backing and resources to get my ideas out there like I did in the past. With all the tools available to writers these days, becoming a published author should not be as daunting as it used to be. In the same vein as new hip-hop stars are now being found on soundcloud I want to use modern delivery systems to get my voice out there. I just want to tell stories.
Tying into a lot of what I just mentioned about how long this story has been rattling inside my head and how modern technology can update my vision I present to you the original teaser for Cloudale. Sadly I no longer have the original file and Blogger does not allow me to repost a previous blog (weird that) so I just upload the link to it.
This blog was written back in 2009. It is now 2025 and the roadblocks have been removed, the street lights have been turned back home and a familiar homestead (at least to me) has placed down its welcome mat.
All Roads lead to Cloudale... again.
