The writing adventure

I have taken a 4 month sabbatical on writing to explore South East Asia solo on a motorcycle. While I am travelling, I am collecting material for more writing and I already have some brilliant ideas that are starting to take shape. Just being out of Australia for a week in Singapore has jump started a few of my stalled projects.

Here is a list of my current blogs:
  • Buckaroo's Adventures - Documenting my solo motorcycle tour of south-east Asia.
  • Author Journal - This blog, describing my continuing mission to seek out new publishers and new genres of writing, to go boldly where no writer has gone before.
  • Bartitsu & Neo-Bartitsu - Recreating the lost art of the world's first mixed martial art of 1899 and reviving it for Steampunkers and Sherlock Holmes fans everywhere.
  • Air, Steel, & Soul - Writing based on role playing Advanced Dungeons & Dragons games forming the basis for a high fantasy serial.
  • Anonymuncles: Comment Monkey - Specially designed for rants on a variety of topics like politics, science, and religion, especially the stuff that is offensive and inflammatory.
  • Courtly Love Letters - A set of love letters I have written for the ladies in my life that have made me feel things and taught me about myself (names withheld), some of which have been given to the intended recipients; others are anonymous and may never be read by the lady in question.
I have also signed up to Critters, which is an online writing critique group and have found it to be really valuable in learning about my own writing as well as others'. If you are a budding writer, I'd recommend taking a look at it to learn more and gain some exposure. You can just critique, or you can submit material for critique. I am planning on releasing some of my writing through this to be critiqued by experienced authors as well as experienced readers.
