Experimenting With Logos
Posted: June 25, 2009 in Pure EscapismTags: ezine, pulps, Pure Escapism, Short story, writing, writing update
One of the thigns I wanted to do with Pure Escapism is make it look a little less amatuerish and a bit more professional, so, using my rather limited design skills, I whipped up a logo for it. It obviously needs some work (preferably at the hands of someone better skilled at it) but it [...]
My desk at the moment is rather a mess, covered with the scattered detritus of living – books, letters, bills, notes, loose change, whatever I find in my pockets and throw down on it at the end of the day. Toss a couple of computers into the mix and it is rather cluttered. A lot [...]

When it comes to procrastinating, I think I’ve mastered it. I want to be writing, I need to be writing – when I’m not writing, I’m thinking about writing. But when I sit down to write I find far too many distractions. It is not that I’m meaning too, it just sort of happens. Probably [...]
100th Download

As close as I can tell, I’ve passed 100 downloads for Pure Escapism now. Not too bad a start seeing it has only been less than a month since I put out the first volume. Only two copies of volume two seem to have been downloaded to date – the big question will be to [...]
Currently most of my websites are inaccessible, and those that are working are not always working properly – either being slow, not loading correctly, not loading images etc It is a right pain :/ Problem is with an upstream source with my provider – and though they are working on it, it has been like [...]
