If what we create is a reflection of us

During one of the lectures I attended in creative arts, I told the other students in the room a little detail from my personal experience. That the more personal to oneself a story is, the easier it becomes to write. I have also shared tidbits such as that I decide the theme of what I write before I begin writing. But this opens up a tunnel of thought that I think is worth exploring.

Hellraiser: the film, the story, and (some of) the sequels

In 1986, a novella called The Hellbound Heart was published. It was published by a company called Dark Harvest in an anthology series called Night Visions. It pretty much would have came and went all by itself under these circumstances, but its author, Clive Barker, somehow managed to put together enough financing to shoot a film adaptation that was released the following year.

Writing is hard. Especially when…

If you have been reading my most recent posts, you may, very likely have developed an impression that I am not physically, emotionally, or just generally, well. You would be correct in this impression. Yet day in and day out, I persist in writing like I have never written before in this journal and elsewhere.
