Author & Novelist
Hi, I’m A.P. Miller, and I am a Trekkie (I’m a Picard guy). Let me be a little more broad, I thoroughly enjoy science fiction. I devoured Star Wars, I often quote RoboCop, and I always answer “Skynet is becoming self-aware” everytime the IT Department at work asks if there are any other problems I’m having. I wanted to talk today about Star Trek because of something I did, involuntarily. Continue reading “You Know Why I Love Star Trek? The Social Aspect”
I promise you that I’m not writing these blogs to sound vain, or to try to give the impression that I’m a lot more established than what I am. I’m writing this stuff for myself a lot of the time. If I commit my schedule and method to page (or screen in this instance) then I feel like it’s the next step in my evolution as a writer. The ultimate goal is to have my stuff in book stores across the globe so that maybe I can sit next to Stephen King at some writing ceremony and feel like an even bigger fraud than I do now.

If you’re a fan of “Broken Promise Records,” then I’ve got a good one for you this week! For those of you who remember the Silver Age of the internet in the mid-2000’s, when people still (kinda) bought CD’s, when YouTube wasn’t that big of a deal yet, and when you still read newspapers because you had your fill of people who spouted off bullshit that they’d read on the internet you know that blogs were still novelty; music blogs will still uncharted ground and the early adopters and taste makers were discovering bands around this time. Thanks to the help of Mr. Hendrix Wilson and Mr. Anthony “Antics” Reams, I’ve come across the transcripts of an interview they did with “The Hard Rockin’ Blogger.”
Somewhere between the time that I’d finished writing “Broken Promise Records” and releasing it on Amazon, I went shopping for a literary agent. “Why would you go looking for an agent? That sounds kind of pretentious!” Listen here, Self-Doubt, why wouldn’t I go looking for an agent? I liked writing “BPR” and I liked reading it, so I sought the help of people who might help a whole lot of other people read it too! True story: a lot of them don’t believe in the book as much as I do. Continue reading “If I’m a “Word Smith,” Does That Make My Desk a “Word Forge?””
I’m not going to lie: these past few weeks have really sucked; worse still, my functional life (a phrase that I’ve coined in one of the new books I’m writing; be on the lookout for “Days of the Phoenix” by A.P. Miller) often adversely affects my preferred life as a writer. I have worked through a lot of the consternation, but a lot of the positivity that I rely on has been absent.
