Some New Changes in the Midst

Josh Robert Nay

A year and a half ago, I detailed my desire to continue writing and I really meant it. In fact, for the past year and a half, I have been working on TruTower and also acquired 1800Pocket/PC. Needless to say, those two websites have kept me busy (and unfortunately this hasn’t left me much time for writing in my blog or working on my books and poetry). You can keep up to date with these works by visiting the articles section of the website and clicking on the site of your choice. Be sure to follow both on Twitter and

Thinking and Rethinking … I Need Coffee

Josh Robert Nay

Some of you may have been wondering what I’ve been up to for the past month or two. Some of you haven’t. Either way, I think I’m going to write this entry. Most of my time has been spent on TruTower.com. It has been a wonderful experience writing for the tech blog, and I’m definitely looking forward to continuing. I heartily invite all of you to like the page on Facebook: www.facebook.com/trutower. Aside from TruTower, I’ve been working on a short story here, a poem there, but nothing new to report on the publication side. It’s not that I’ve stopped

Wynx Update and Another Project in the Works

Josh Robert Nay

The project is nearly complete! I’ve been really taking my time to ensure that the project is the best it possibly can be, and it’s been really great writing it! The storyline has, of course, already been developed, but it’s making sure every detail works to enhance the story. I’m not a big fan of filler, nor unnecessary information (slightly different from filler). If it doesn’t enhance the story, I simply leave it out. With a limit to how many words I can use, this also creates a situation where filler cannot be afforded. At the same time, I am

Sweetness of Imperfection

Josh Robert Nay

There are certain imperfections in people that make them … perfect. These imperfections make them stand out in a crowd, make them appear on their own separate, perfect plain of existence. From a simple twitch of the eye to a small pimple on their face … imperfections define who we are in ways nothing else ever could. Actors and actresses hide numerous imperfections behind great walls of makeup, lighting, and even special effects. This wall takes away their humanity. It takes away their imperfections, their way of standing out in the crowd, of being on their own perfect plain of

Winding Down to the End of July

Josh Robert Nay

Here’s a quick breakdown of my to-do list for July: I promised a short story for all the Western genre lovers out there. That is definitely forthcoming. In fact, I plan on having the story finished by the end of this week. I promised two new poems. Delivered! However, I will also be delivering more this week and next. I promised to have a rough draft of a novel. Delivered, although the actual rough draft is for my eyes only. The final draft is pending editor/publisher approval and changes, so it could be very different from the rough draft. I

Follow Me on Blogger, Twitter, Facebook, RSS

Josh Robert Nay

Work has me swamped today, so I thought I’d take a moment to remind everyone to follow me on Twitter, this blog, RSS Feed, or friend me on Facebook. I am, of course working on a permanent fan page on Facebook, but my own Facebook page will suffice for the time being. Following via RSS Following using the RSS option is by far the best option, as it notifies you of new posts on The Purple Dragon as well as new publications as soon as they are available.

The Egyptian First-Person Perspective is Doing Excellent

Josh Robert Nay

When reading my new short story The Uninvited and the Curse, which I mentioned in my previous entry on The Purple Dragon as well as in repeated posts on both Facebook and Twitter, some people ask why I chose to go with a first-person perspective for Khufu, the pharaoh in the story. Simply put, the story just would not be as personal without it. I wanted to focus as much as possible on Khufu, his feelings, his memories, and his thoughts. If I were to do a third-person perspective on this, sure, it would have all of the necessary information.

The Last and Final … Day of June

Josh Robert Nay

It’s official: 2011’s mid-life crisis is already circling the drain. Tomorrow will be the first day of July. Summer is about half over as well. Soon, the leaves on the trees will change color to signal the coming of fall and then later the coming of winter, and all the snow and ice that I dislike so much. I’m one of those people that would rather be sweating up a storm than shivering to the point where my joints hurt. I think the only time I’ve ever actually enjoyed winter was when I was a kid. I can remember building
