News: A Sudden Deviation

Hey guys.

So…some stuff came up. I am only now recovering from the lack of sleep, and I don’t have a post for you today besides this one. In fact, the chaos is still going, and I am going to have to take a brief break for the next week or so.

I think I can post a new article on the 15th once everything is in order. Sorry. This whole thing really blindsided me.

I’ll talk to you then.

Real Talk Here: Please Read (This Involves You)

I’m hesitant to bring this up. I’m not sure if I can properly cover this in an article. It’s special to me, and precious, and exactly the sort of thing you’re supposed to share with people.

It’s a belief I have. An idea that a friend of mine gave me the seeds to think with. And it’s big, and it involves all of you. Continue reading

News: A Time For Family, A Time For The Holidays

Hey guys! I hope you’re all enjoying the holidays–because I certainly am.

And while I adore blogging for you guys, I am going to be taking the next two weeks off (with maybe a special Christmas day article, I haven’t decided yet) to spend time with my friends and family.

So, I’ll see you guys then, and have a merry Christmas, a happy rest of your Hanukkah, a wonderful Kwanzaa, and an awesome whatever else you may celebrate. 🙂

News: A New Name

DON’T FREAK OUT!

Whew, good. I’m sure that had the intended effect.

So, if you’re on my site right now, you maybe noticed that it isn’t called “Coolerbs Reviews” anymore.

There’s a reason for this: I didn’t feel like it was appropriate. When I first started out this blog three years ago, I did a lot of reviewing. But if you’ve been here a while, you’ve probably noticed I strayed from that a tad.

Now-a-days I do a lot of fiction, a lot of advice for writers, some top ten lists, that sort of thing. This is for two reasons: Continue reading

News: Computer Issues

Hey guys…I’m sorry to say that there won’t be a new article today. Over at casa-de-coolerbs, I was having a few issues with my computer and it prevented me from getting an article ready for you guys.

Don’t worry, I’m already almost done fixing it, and will have a Monthly Mention for you come Wednesday.

Have a nice weekend everyone.

News: This Is Not The Post You’re Looking For

Hey guys.

There’s not going to be a Wednesday post today (except this one). I spent the last two days dealing with a series of medical tests, and didn’t have time to write up an article for you. Now, don’t worry, I’m fine. In fact, I can say that with medical certainty now. And the peace of mind that brings me is worth all of the hassle I’ve been through these last couple of days.

But, still, I am sorry. I promise to have something for you guys on Saturday.

I’ll see you then.

News: Two Week Vacation

So, here at Coolerbs Reviews, I write, edit, and publish two blog articles a week. I do this both because I love it, and because I like giving you good people content to enjoy. But, like everyone, I could use a break from time to time.

With that in mind, I’m taking a two-week long vacation from blogging to focus on some life stuff and spend time with my family. I’ll come back on the 6th with a slightly late Monthly Mentions for May and then launch right back into my usual schedule.

Till then, enjoy your summer guys! I know I will!

Special thanks to: Collin Pearman, Dylan Alexander, Jerry Banfield, Pulsatilla Pratensis, and Zeony.

News: Patrons of the Arts

WE NOW INTERRUPT YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED BLOG ARTICLE FOR A SPECIAL REPORT FROM BRANDON SCOTT!  

Hi, it’s…uh, me: Brandon Scott.

I was hesitant to write this article. I spent a few days flipping back and forth on the issue of even typing it up. I’m not really sure how you guys will take it, or what you’ll think of me for doing this…but in the end I decided to go through with it.

Ugh, the thing I’m dancing around here, the thing that I keep avoiding saying, the thing I’m stalling on is…well…I’m doing a Patreon campaign.

Now, don’t take this the wrong way. Continue reading

So, I got the Liebster Award, the chain-letter of the blog-o-sphere. I could not be happier…

In all seriousness though, thank you Daniel Sees Anime for nominating me!

And, in return, it is time for me to hold up my side of the bargain. Continue reading

News: Egg, Firmly, On Face

So, I tried to have a contest…

That was a silly idea.

Well, a contest in itself was not a bad idea… but the way I did it was…

I made the rules a bit wonky, and I should have just let people post existing links to stories in the comments or something like that. It’s really my own fault… Continue reading

News: See you Next Year!

Hey guys, so the holidays are still going, and I have a bunch of stuff that is building up, along with spending time with my family.  So, I am going to be taking a small hiatus till the end of the year.

Don’t worry, I won’t be gone for long, and when I return I will have some new stuff…including a very special project I have been working on! Continue reading

News: Year’s End Contest

If it was not obvious by now, I am a big fan of flash fiction. I love the challenge of condensing a full story down to such a small work count. It’s great practice for me, because I often have trouble being concise in my writing.

But why should I have all the fun? I look at all of your blogs, dear followers, and I see that you guys also love a good flash fiction.

So I thought I would give you a reason to make more! Continue reading

News: Blast from the Past!

Once upon a time, I was The Rambling Nerd.

I used to post articles called Rambling Reviews, focusing mostly on movies, but also books and anime.

I was a different person then, a different character.

But, you see the thing about life, is that is has a habit of changing on you.

In a blur of activity, forced to change. My life, turned upside down. I had to stop writing for the longest time.

I eventually came back. This site is proof of that. Continue reading
