In today’s economy, being a creative who is sustained financially can seem more challenging than ever before. In 2008, I started a discussion on…

As I lifted myself higher I sought the next level of life's game,

Hey All Once Again,

Yesterday, I offically became a student again.... yaay. Crazy after 10 years I am trying it once again. But, I am more hopefully this time than the last. My previous go at college was more of a "prove myself to the world" rather than a "prove myself to me".

You see the World will let you down and leave you devasted - which is unyeilding and brutual. And even thou I said in one of my previous posts that I am my WORST enemy  the other side of…

Ok, working on this piece, tentatively titled "The Portal". Not sure if it is going to be a short story or novel, but it will definitely be supernatural, stretching the notion of the after-life. Would love feedback from some of the sci-fi writers on the site to get some feedback on how you develop your sci-fi/supernatural fiction. How much pre-research goes into your development?

By Eric M. Deadwiley

January 14, 2011

President Barack Obama appears to be in favor of “Second chances” for people suffering from the affects of criminal conviction discrimination. This is good news to advocates for rehabilitated formerly convicted people, many of whom have been fighting tirelessly for years, for states and cities all across the country to…
