- [Another Monday Has Come](https://mywriterscramp.com/another-monday-has-come/) - I'm not going to talk about the Arizona Cardinals today. Not going to do it. Nope.

- [Less Than A Month Away...Oh God](https://mywriterscramp.com/less-than-a-month-away-oh-god/) - It occurred to me today that it is October.

- [An Update For September](https://mywriterscramp.com/an-update-for-september/) - Well we're almost through the first week of September and I figured it was time for a little update on what has been going on.

- [Descriptive Passages, Part III: Action](https://mywriterscramp.com/descriptive-passages-part-iii-action/) - I would seriously recommend giving this blog post a read, especially if your writing includes action sequences. The whole site is worth visiting, but this article struck a chord with me, probably because I'm in a more action oriented sequence of my novel. Give it a read and learn from it what you can. For

Alone used to consist of one post a week, but lately it has climbed to the point of five or six a week. Part of the reason for the change is that it became my primary focus as

The love of my life said, "I do," before all of our friends and family and she has stuck with me for eleven years. We are not that mythical perfect couple, nor do we have a perfect marriage.

- [My Pocket Ninja](https://mywriterscramp.com/my-pocket-ninja/) - So my youngest son is the athlete of the family. He does soccer and karate and is hyper competitive in both.

It turns out it was a
- [On My Vacation?  Really?](https://mywriterscramp.com/on-my-vacation-really/) - So this morning I get up and head downstairs. Coffee and raisin bran round out my wake up routine before I sit down to do some writing. I work at it for about 30 minutes then I start to feel pain shooting from my elbow up to my skull. The further along the day went
- [My Green Eyed Monster and the Obsession It Has Created](https://mywriterscramp.com/my-green-eyed-monster-and-the-obsession-it-has-created/) - This month has been a rough one writing wise.

I think I'm a little burned out from the massive effort of last month, but i'm trying not to let that
- [She Would Be Ten](https://mywriterscramp.com/she-would-be-ten/) - Ten years ago my wife gave birth to my little girl. The labor had been long and uncomfortable for my wife and ended in a C-Section ultimately. I was in the operating room holding stroking my wife's hair and speaking words of encouragement. We didn't know what we were having and the anticipation was killing
- [There is Something Special About That Kid](https://mywriterscramp.com/there-is-something-special-about-that-kid/) - It is July 5th. Six years ago my youngest son Connor was born.

- [Wait...What Happened?](https://mywriterscramp.com/wait-what-happened/) - I tried to write something witty today...and failed. I tried to write something deep and meaningful...and failed.

- [Reflections, goals and progress](https://mywriterscramp.com/reflections-goals-and-progress/) - Last week I talked about how my writing had been rejuvenated and that I had made some changes in the way I approached my writing.

- [Picking up the Pace](https://mywriterscramp.com/picking-up-the-pace/) - The number of views on my blog is down from last month and way down from the month before. Last month it really bothered me, but this month I am completely ambivalent. So what has made the difference in my views and my attitude? Well the decrease in views has a lot to do with
- [100-Day Challenge, Day 042](https://mywriterscramp.com/100-day-challenge-day-042/) - “Yes.

- [Forgotten Works](https://mywriterscramp.com/forgotten-works/) - So last year, when I still used Myspace, I had started retyping some of the short/flash fiction I had written back when I was 19-20. I would correct any grammar and punctuation issues then post them on my blog as an exquisite form of self-torture. I only managed to post two or three such pieces
- [Progress and Overload](https://mywriterscramp.com/progress-and-overload/) - Well it is a time for decisions I think, but before I get into that let me give you a little update on where I am with all of my various projects.

- [Fan Fiction?](https://mywriterscramp.com/fan-fiction/) - As a self declaring geek I openly admit a love for many a "geeky" thing.

- [Man/Women After God’s Heart | Kurt’s Messages](https://mywriterscramp.com/manwomen-after-gods-heart-kurts-messages/) - Back when Kurt Warner was the quarterback for the St. Louis Rams I loved his story. A man who went from anonymity to the pinnacle of glory in one year's time. He took a team that had been struggling to find true success and led them to a Super Bowl victory. What I did not

This isn’t my normal type of book however I was hooked
- [Great while you wait.](https://mywriterscramp.com/book-reviews/great-while-you-wait/) - I really liked this book. It has a bit of everything; great action and fighting, romance, even a chase scene (though not in the way you might think). There are times when it's funny, and moments that make you tear up.

- [Great start for the series](https://mywriterscramp.com/book-reviews/great-start-for-the-series/) - Terrific urban fantasy that explores the seedy underworld of good and evil beneath the thin veneer of business, addiction and urban life.

## Series

- [Beyond the Darkside](https://mywriterscramp.com/series/beyond-the-darkside/) - Power and Terror intermingle on the dark side of the moon as forbidden science opens a door that should have stayed closed.
- [Reviews](https://mywriterscramp.com/series/reviews/) - From time to time I’ve been known to review a book, game, movie, television show or album. The important thing to remember is that Reviews are opinions and nothing more. It really doesn’t matter how fantastic your education is, when it comes right down to it a review by anyone is just an opinion. As a rule I have used movie reviews as a way to decide what I should go see…I wait to see what they think is awful and head straight for it. For the most part I find myself enjoying the movies that are found lacking by critics. To me, entertainment, in all of its forms, is about pleasure. It is great when my entertainment makes me think about something I normally wouldn’t, or question something I hadn’t before, but some times I just want to enjoy things exploding or sucking the braincells out my ear…I do it for the pleasure. So what does that mean about my reviews? Well it means that when I do a review I’m generally going to give a positive review to things I enjoy and a negative review to things I don’t. I’m not going to spend my time ripping apart a movie or book to share with you how much I did or din’t like a particular aspect, but I’ll make sure you know what I thought about it. If you disagree with me? Awesome! There are times when you will and I hope you tell me about it and why. The only thing I ask is that you stay away from personal attacks, because, well they’re just not nice and really less than productive. Everyone has an opinion, and if you’re reading this then you’re probably a little interested in mine, so have a read and enjoy.

## Book Authors

- [Eric Swett](https://mywriterscramp.com/book-author/ericswett/) - My name is Eric Swett. I’m a writer. I’ll even go so far as to say I’m an author since I have published a book and some short fiction. I am the keeper of this blog and its contents. I originally started this as a place to share my writing, but it has grown into something more. From here I have written four books with another one on the way. I write book reviews and share little tidbits of my life along the way. Writing is not all that I do though. I work in IT and do a little web design on the side, but believe it or not there is even more to me than my passion and my job. Above all of that I am a husband and father. I have a beautiful wife named Tracy and three fabulous children (Zachary, Connor, and Kaitlyn). Between the four of them I have absolutely everything I really need in this world. If everything else went away and I still had them, I could die and count myself a fortunate man. I’m a Christian that believes in science and following the example set by Jesus rather than some odd evolution (see what I did there) of the faith that has publicly strayed from its beginnings. I’m a self-proclaimed Geek and I do not adhere to a single form of geekdom. I like roleplaying games, tabletop games with painted miniatures, video games, comic books, science fiction and fantasy, Star Wars, Star Trek and Doctor Who. I could fill up this page with all of the geekery I enjoy, but this short list will suffice for now.
