Before I start this, let me first say that I am a huge J. J. Abrams fan. I loved what he did with Star Trek, and Lost wasn't too bad (except for the ending). Super 8 was very entertaining and I really do enjoy most of what he produces. But damn it all to hell, what the hell … Continue reading 15* Rules to Surviving the Abrams Dystopia

Black Friday Mayhem
I'm still recovering from my turkey coma, so bear with me here. I was on my way to work and saw, well, mayhem is the only way I can describe it. You see, I live near a big mall and Target and Walmart (they're not close to one another, until you take into account I … Continue reading Black Friday Mayhem
Happy Turducken Day!
Just reviewed David Weber's A Beautiful Friendship over at SBR. One of the best YA books I've reads this year, hands down. Go take a look. Other than that, just working furiously on a short story. And playing Words With Friends. And blogging. And playing chess. Yep, I'm lame like that. Have a great Turducken Day.
The Same Old Song
My so-called "writer's block" lasted all of two days. That's rather pathetic, really. Wouldn't that make it more of an "easily climbable obstacle" than a block? It didn't take long to push past whatever was bothering me and get me back into the groove. I'm thankful that whatever it was is gone. Of course, the … Continue reading The Same Old Song
Random Ramblings
I was all set to review David Weber's A Beautiful Friendship over at SBR today until my brain went ffff-phat! (seriously, make that sound. That's what my brain did). The grey matter hit the proverbial brick wall and the results... aren't pretty. On the plus side, I am doing a tiny bit of editing. You see, you don't necessarily need … Continue reading Random Ramblings
Good News
Good news on the war front: sold another short story this week. Wake, a dark, creepy horror story with a bit of a humorous bent, is going to see print sometime in 2013. I'm still waiting on official word, but I have a hard "yes" from them, which is nice to have. This is good … Continue reading Good News
Facebook Over
So yesterday, I saw that once more has Facebook taken our privacy settings and screwed them over, leaving all the personal information out there for any intrepid individual (or company) to find. Although I willingly signed up for Facebook, I was smart and didn't post too much personal information in there. I tried to use … Continue reading Facebook Over
Vote Today
I hope you exercised your right to vote today. I'm going "offline" this Thursday for five days, lasting until Tuesday-ish. I'll be around, but the blog will suffer, since I'm going to be "offline". Yes, I quoted that on purpose. I'll be looking in but not participating. Though to be fair, that's about all I … Continue reading Vote Today
I really love Sarah Hoyt. Listen to how she breaks down why we can't have our cake and eat it, too.
Are You Writing?
Wow, what a crazy week. Shot multiple scenes for Acts of God out in Louisville. Got to watch them blow stuff up (which was freaking cool), got into a firefight with Taliban (or the Hollywood equivalent... I think they're called "fellow extras"), got a speaking part in the movie (which may or may not be cut, I'll find … Continue reading Are You Writing?
Sha’Daa Pawns is Live
Apparently it's up at Amazon. Why don't people tell me these things?
November Begins
Okay, so I'm prepared to hear about NaNoWriMo for the next 30 days from all writers, established pros and aspiring ones alike. I literally have created a folder in my inbox to hear about how well people are doing, purely for selfish reasons (I like the idea of shooting someone an email on the 16th … Continue reading November Begins
Nerd King
I want to buy a house. Wait, hear me out. I have sound reasoning for this desire. I've been surfing around the web researching a story and came across an unfinished basement and the pictures that the guy took. He then showed the step-by-step process of turning his unfinished basement into the ultimate nerd man … Continue reading Nerd King
Release Day Is Coming
The countdown for Sha'Daa: Pawns is now on. T-minus three days until the release. If you're wondering why I'm so excited, it's because my story Crouching Seal, Sleeping Dragon is featured in this little anthology. Be prepared to buy it. Why? Why not? Spread the word. Sha'Daa is coming!
I did an interview with a new book review site a few weeks ago and it just went live. It was fun and the editor (Mandi Lynch) was very patient with me, in spite of my giggling as I was responding.
I do believe she was merely slightly freaked out.
Also, I have another film shoot today, and potentially two more coming up, so less writing time. More screen time, though. Not sure which I prefer.
For the first time ever, and probably the only time ever, I was in the room when this interview took place, but still using current media to be as detached as possible from this process – I emailed him the questions, he emailed me the answers. Still, watching him answer was sometimes better than the answers themselves. What you guys don’t know about Jason is that he’s got a wicked sense of humor, and being around him is like being around somebody you’ve been friends with for decades – even if you’ve only known him ten minutes. Anyway, before I start to sound like a groupie, I should end this introduction. This is Jason Cordova…
Let’s start with the basics. Who are you?
My name is Jason Cordova. Yeah, that guy.
Tell us (briefly) about you…
I live in Lexington, Kentucky and have a BA in History and an MA…
