Let’s get right to the review for this one, a Full Moon movie released the same year as the previous week’s feature (Shadowzone), Meridian Kiss of the Beast: Catherine returns to her family castle in Italy after her father’s death & gets caught in a love triangle between a man & a creature of the …
Goals Set, Goals Met. Everything is going swimmingly and I’ve reached that point where each success is merely fuel for the next success. Accomplishments are kind of like a garden: the seeds planted can turn out awesome if cultivated correctly.
Since Puppetmaster was more in the direction of movies I wanted to go, I decided to go further back into the Full Moon archives, which brought me to one of their earliest movies: Shadowzone! A group of NASA researchers are conducting tests in an underground facility in the desert. One subject has died during the …
The experiment in pen names is proving fruitful. I’ve fallen into a bit of a trap with, “Can I actually publish this?” The answer is: yes, but if I don’t put my name on it, I might take more chances.
This one was an interesting one, for certain definitions of interesting, that suffered mostly from the pacing. Here’s the description: The citizens of Comet Valley are being taken over by seeds from an alien plant that has taken root there. A sheriff investigates the strange goings-on. Sounds rough.

Retro on Sprint 10: This was my most successful sprint since sprint 1 or 2. That’s a pretty big change over the course of really only two weeks. What I Did Well: I recognized that I was the problem, and made moves to correct that. I didn’t keep a good standup record, but I wrote …
Another Full Moon movie that launched a series: Puppet Master. The Andre Toulon and the Puppet Master saga begins…Alex Whittaker and three other gifted psychics are investigating rumors that the secret of life has been discovered by master puppeteer Andre Toulon. But the psychics quickly discover Toulon’s secret of death in the form of five …
A week in I’ve had my best week writing in a while. But I have not had much posting discipline — aside from the movie reviews. Think I’m going to let the sprint go on and keep my writing goals up and then work on the post goals later.
The third of the Full Moon reviews, the sci-fi time-travel flick titled “Trancers”: Jack Deth is a trooper in Angel City, circa 2247, mopping up the last of the disciples of the evil Whistler. Whistler had been thought to be dead by now, but he’s alive and well: in the year 1985. Oh yeah. Time …
Clearly, when looking back over the pattern of posts I’ve made here, the number one issue I’m having with writing is focus and discipline. This sort of misbehavior spills over into almost everything I do, actually, which is something I have to hold myself accountable for. Writing this blog was meant to force me to …
