Philip Wardlow is a burgeoning ever growing writer and poet delving into all the various aspects of the human condition.
His writing tastes run to the Erotic most recently. In the recent past he has written to the Dark Urban Fantasy & Horror Genre which he still loves as well. He likes to dabble in all the various forms of poetry; from the sexy to the humorous, to the profound and beautifully sentimental and reflective.
He has only been at this chosen path for a few of years and has produced one Novella published as an Ebook on Amazon called “Roadkill”. He has submitted and continues to submit various stories and poetry works to publications for consideration.
Philip is working on a collection of Erotic Poetry due out in 2021 in ebook form and perhaps in paperback. He is also concurrently working hard on his other passion; photography. Philip believes he can have each foot planted in two distinctly different worlds of creativity there by inciting new ideas and growth at the same time in both.
I failed at the NaNoWriMo challenge….my 50,000 WORDS didn’t Happen….I was about 2 weeks in and had 17,000 words done….about 1,500 Word average a day for me. I was doing fairly well. Making good head way to really amp it up and get myself to the 50,000 by the end of November.
WHEN BLAM….my body said to me…”Hey, your doing TOO well…time to get sick, so FUCK you!”
Yep. I am just now getting over it. I had NOT Much energy except to maybe pull myself to work and try not to fall asleep at my desk.
My voice for few a days sounded like Kermit the Frog after chain smoking for 30yrs. (no kidding)
It sucked….I HATE HATE HATE having no energy for anything ….. like reading, writing, sex ,movie going, work, sex again…etc….
C’mon gods of Fates and Dillusionment! Give me a break!
So this December will be my own private NaNoWriMo……Fuck you fates you don’t own me.
The sun has set on the old day I am going to get this Novel done its a new day coming. ‘Nuff said.
“What change’s some of us over time to see only the bad things in life when the good things are there in equal measure just waiting to be noticed again?”
I like big books and I can not lie
You other scholars can’t deny
That when a librarian walks in with an itty bitty waist
and slaps a big paged volume down in your face
You get sprung, wanna pull out your specs
‘Cause you notice that book looks stuffed
Deep in the pages the words be blaring.
I’m hooked and I can’t stop staring
Oh baby, I wanna get with you
in my lap to read the big picture
My schoolboys tried to warn me
But that big book makes me so ornery
When I rub its Rump-o’-smooth-skin
spine and I’m not allowed to read it.
Well, use me, use me
‘Cause you ain’t that average mystery
On the shelves, I’ve seen those other books dancin’
To hell with romances
I ‘m tired of magazines
Conveying to me flat books are the thing,
Take the average smart man and ask him that
The book gotta pack much back
So, fellas! (Yeah!) Fellas! (Yeah!)
Has your girlfriend got your big book? (Hell yeah!)
Tell ’em to shake it! (Shake it!) Shake it! (Shake it!)
Shake that healthy book!
And baby, baby, give me my big book back!
My wife made it back from her overseas vacation after 14 Long Days…BUT what did I do while she was gone during all that time?
Well…after I got tired of all the strippers and hookers night after night laying around and drinking up all my orange juice in the fridge at my house, I decided to go to the THRILLER CHILLER FILM FESTIVAL in my area.
The Festival was scheduled to go for three days , Thursdays thru Saturday from midday well into the night…
I had limited time on my hands because of all the hookers, so I could only chose one day, Friday ended being the day I would attend the festival.
The Film Festival is held annually at the local Wealthy Street Theatre in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It’s a beautiful theatre . It houses Theatre A which showcases the longer running film and Theatre B for a lot of the movie shorts.
This was to be my first Film Festival and I didn’t know what to expect. I did expect this to be a more intimate affair as this was a small venue along with it being a less well known event. (but getting bigger every year!!! )
The front Lobby and the inside of the theatre give off nice ambiance. Theatres like this are like coming home. It was nice just to sit there in my seat and just take it all in.
I didn’t go with anyone but I did run into a friend named, Mary Marly Green, who often frequents these events and who also does a little acting herself in this genre of film. She’s a great actress, she dies very well also….:) Hire her.
Check out the trailers above. I highly recommend all of the movies if you run across them in a film Festival in your area .
I had a good time for a first timer. I will definitely be going to next year’s event and perhaps look for others to attend between that time…:). Check out other pictures I took at the event below!
Actual Creature Prop hand you could buy from the Movie – ” Devils in the Darkness”The Director of Devil in the Darkness, Daniel E. Falicki, getting a little frisky with one of the actors in the movie…Marly and Me…. wait wasn’t that a movie?Devils in the Darkness made it’s Premiere here the night I went to the Film Festival…it was a Michigan based production group that produced the film!
So I went to him and asked him what’s your secret. How do you do it? Where do you get your gumption.. your gusto…your huptza.. because I needed it last night…
I didn’t get to the magic 1667 number of words for the day on the NaNoWriMo contest yesterday. I tried…but I think my mojo was way off. I did write and did progress, so that is something right Mr. Successful Baby? Successful baby? What’s wrong?
Oh, you have a fistful of sand in your mouth?….Got it. I’ll just let msyself out….thanks …good talk Successful Baby….don’t worry I won’t let you down again…Promise
Don’t be afraid to embrace a stranger….meaning the words you haven’t met just yet.
NaNoWriMo Bitches! and I cannot yell it loud enough! (sorry I’m channeling Jessie from Breaking Bad there)
I thought I would root through the web for you guys and JUMP START YOUR BRAIN; to INSPIRE, to PUSH, ENCOURAGE, to SLAP you awake, or to SHAME you to write and KEEP WRITING!
Whatever it takes to get you to keep writing I’ll do it …so don’t be a slacker….I mean it. That means you. Who me? Yeah I’m talking to you. Get off that porn site or those fuzzy little kitties playing on YouTube. Or those Fuzzy little kitties watching porn…WHAT?…never mind…just turn it off and get to work!
We are already nearing the second week of the contest very soon, that foot should still be on the gas pedal ….I don’t care if you’re ahead of the word count or not….no coasting BITCHES!
I pull out my Uzi and lay them low…one by one RAT TA TA TAT the words just flow…BOOM!
Like building something with Legos when you were a kid, you didn’t know what is was going to be, but that didn’t stop you.
I have written thousands of words…I will tell not you how much because I don’t wish to jinx it…but it’s coming, their coming….the words….I’m pulling them from the air as the words float down… grab…grab snag…
A snowball rolling down a mountain. It’s slowly getting Bigger! This world that I am building. I hope I can control it…
It’s getting clearer day by day I think….I’m feeling the world….getting into the characters….their struggle is my struggle…I want to find their resolution…give them an adventure….make them suffer….fail…pull themselves up and make them realize the greatness that can be theirs…
Wish me LUCK!….and whoever else is participating in the contest or even writing their own story outside the contest…I wish you luck….your struggle in this endeavor is yours…remember that…at the end of the day..the story is yours…own it and finish it , give yourself the story if no one else…and most of all enjoy the experience. …:)
No such thing as luck (good or bad) in your endeavors…just keep plugging away at it….and it will build upon itself….
