Writing update – Studio CreatiV: The Writings and poetry of Dustin Plank

The Machines

Whirring Moving and “thinking” The machines are taking over Taking our jobs Our creativity Leaving us with nothing Except bitter tears Flying Targeting The machines are at war Killing the innocent Destroying happy memories Leaving nothing Again Where people once stood Rising Gnashing metal teeth The machines are taking over Disarming us Taking our powerContinue reading “The Machines”

A fun time in the summer

When I was young, the best time to be alive was the summer. Running out through those doors at school, knowing there was a long stretch before you had to go back… one of the best feelings of youth. June was when the fireflies came out at night, their bodies flickering and blinking in theContinue reading “A fun time in the summer”

Down the way faring waterfall

Take your bad dreams Your fears, Your doubts Take them down to the winding river Set them in the water, And watch them go Down, down, down Till the river tips, The water bends, And then they fall, Nightmares, fears, doubts and all, Down the wayfaring waterfall.

New year…

Hope it’s good for everyone! I’m right where I been at this time last year (eating dinner and watching YouTube) and I hope things are at least doing well for whoever reads this. My resolution this year is to KEEP MY DEADLINES!!! How am I supposed to be a writer if I can’t deliver aContinue reading “New year…”

Been going about things wrong (TnV update/explanation)

Been a good while since the last Tom and Vince story left off with Vince floating in oblivion and Tom discovering he has a supporting cast beyond Morty and Satan. There’s a reason for that. Been trying to do a sequel to the last story off and on (now mostly off) and I have begunContinue reading “Been going about things wrong (TnV update/explanation)”

What to do for my birth month…?

My birthday is at the end of the month (September 30, to be clear) and I need to do something special for all of you for it… but what? The natural answer would be another Tom and Vince story, but I have been stuck on my current one for a few months now, dug myselfContinue reading “What to do for my birth month…?”

Feeling adrift

I’m still alive, in case everyone is wondering. Been working on the new Tom and Vince story, but it’s taking a real long time. And when I say “long” I mean LOOONG. It is a challenge writing what is basically a season one ending to this series. Trying to introduce new characters, but I amContinue reading “Feeling adrift”

Back to work (and the struggles of writers block)

So, I went back to work at the beginning of May. I’m happy to say that everyone missed me (even got an ovation from one coworker!!) and there wasn’t too much left undone from when I went on leave in January. Doesn’t mean it’s been a total gas, though; I still have a weak backContinue reading “Back to work (and the struggles of writers block)”

Back to Work

Started working again! Gonna be mostly weekend mornings, so I will have time to do things on weekdays and afternoons. Glad they’re taking it slow with me to be honest. My first day was Monday morning, and it was busy! My foot ached from all the walking I had to do, but I got throughContinue reading “Back to Work”

Disability Blues Pt. 2

Been awhile since my last update. Been working on the next Tom and Vince story. Hope you like it. It’s gonna be a heck of a story I feel. Full of plot twists and new characters! Far as my back is doing, I can’t say I’ve made much progress with healing. My back has goodContinue reading “Disability Blues Pt. 2”
