Status Update #5 (Life)
Things have been extremely busy for me the past couple weeks and I’d like to apologize for not updating as often as I would like. This site is a dream of mine. I love sharing my work, and I love the fact that you take the time to read my words.
That being said, this site has to come second to my bill paying job and my family.
There will come times when I may not be able to post, be it a few days or a week. Occasionally my job takes one hundred percent of my time, a couple of weeks ago I was sent for training and the hotel didn’t have free wifi (paying for wifi wasn’t in my budget), so I had to settle with drinking myself into a stupor at the hotel bar (oh poor me).
This past weekend I was on vacation with my family in the Sierras and had a great time.
I want to assure you that this blog will continue to be updated and the words will continue to flow. I genually appriciate your readership and I hope you enjoy what I write.
Thanks
-Hunter C Coch
Header of the Week #1
I just wanted to announce that a new header is up. This header is by me and I’m allot happier with this one versus my last attempt. This was my first major use of a photoshop program (I used Gimp) and I hope you enjoy.
Also I wanted to remind you that you are welcome to contribute your own work to this site. I would love to see the headers you come up with. All I ask is the headers are 920 x 180 pixels contain the words “Your Predator’ and are highly creative (I’m also partial to black & white but it’s not required).
Contrabutions should be sent to huntercoch@yourpredator.com. If you feel so inclined, please write a short bio with any contact information you wish revealed (no information will be sold, given away or traded with out your explicit permission), along with a description and your feeling on your creation.
The best best contrabutions will be the header for this site for one week (maybe longer if I really like them) starting on Sundays. When the new header goes up a blog post about you and your creation will be posted.
Poem: Endless Hunter
A hunter,
living symbol of what no one understands.
Alive, dead, living an existence without hate.
A timeless being.
Asking for passion from the feared.
Why do I take so greatly.
I live in the night.
For some, a symbol of hate & death;
For others a high spirit and master of the wild;
romance.
Living with death and alive with hope,
everything seen,
Nirvana sought.
A hunter, by the sea, alive.
Status Updat: #1
With a drink at my desk and a slight buzz this humble writer is here to inform you of my latest endeavor; the first serial on this site. The day this site gets it’s domain name is the day the first installment of the serial is released (sometime early to mid August). I also invite anyone reading this to be my mini-editors; typos & misspellings, feel free to point them out; constructive criticisms, great; praise, oh god please; hate, only if you feel like waisting your time as the more I’m hated the greater impact I’m leaving.
To describe this story would be imposable, though if your looking for a genre slipstream would fit it best. I hope it’s like nothing you’ve ever read, & if it is please point me to this author.
Also if you want the latest updates to this site along with all the other mundane ramblings, remember to follow me on twitter (@esahc).
domain Name
Next month (when money becomes available) a domain name will be registered for this site; regular posting will commence shortly.
Creative Commons
After allot of thought on how to move forward regarding the content of this site, I have decided to release all my works under the creative commons share & share alike license:
All Writings & Images created by Hunter Coch are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 United States License.
Based on works found at huntercoch.wordpress.com.
I think the reasoning behind this is self evident; but for those who don’t understand: I want what I have to say spread and since the public domain in this country has been trampled into near non-existence then I offer what I believe to be the next best thing thing.
Writing & literature (arguably, everything else) in the world & throughout history is all about plagiarism. We would not have many of the great writers in history if today’s draconian copyright law existed back then. William Shakespeare was known to use other authors words verbatim. James Joyce’s Ulysses, in no short order, is a retelling of the Odyssey. I do not compare myself to these great men but offer them as reasons why I make the choices I do.
Welcome
I am writing to say hello to the multitudes of zero on this first post of my first blog, which I hope will gain a modest following in time. I’ve, way to long, neglected my writing, and on this day, July the fourth two thousand nine, I vow this will change.
I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember, poetry, prose, stories and things yet to be categorized.
I hope you enjoy.
