I find myself in a dip.  A mounts lapse into a chasm that, to my mind, promises to swallow me whole forever.  This is preposterous, mind you, as in a few hours or tomorrow I’ll be out of this lull and off to the races, working on my script again.  But there needs to be [...]

A weekend that began with a rally in Washington, D.C. on one of the most important days in U.S. history continues with a report out of Japan of growing anti-foreign protests.  Here are my thoughts: The growing anti-foreign sentiment doesn’t just dwell in the US. We deal with it here in Korea and now issues [...]

This was reported earlier today (well, today in Korea, I guess it would last night for those in North America) and I began following and collecting as much information as possible.  Why?  Because during Dylan Covey’s physical he was diagnosed with Type-1 Diabetes.  Now, for a lot of people this really isn’t important news.  Covey was [...]

I’ll kick this off, finally, with something that has been on my mind a lot lately: hope and motivation.

On the heels of the intended content relaunch for this site, I was diagnosed with a gastric ulcer.  So, that derailed all my efforts.  A week of eating nothing but vegetables and rice is nearly at an end and my stomach is finally quieting down.

I wouldn’t call myself a children’s book writer, but I have been writing stories for tweens for the last two years (only one of the five have been published…ugh) and I’ve learned something that needs to be addressed: kids are smart. My editors, who I value as friends and bosses, and the higher-ups have made [...]

There are a lot of places to get news on the events unfolding in Iran, but I wanted to supply a couple that I’ve found the most forthcoming. Obviously, twitter has been incredible. I’m following some tapped in folks, all relaying information the second they receive it; I’ll usually retweet was fascinates me. Aside from [...]

Just as a note, I’ve posted up the new ‘Page of the Month‘ and continue to struggle to find time to really devote myself to this novel.  After all, with all the school work and work elsewhere it’s just about finding time and devoting myself to it.  There are these pangs of “yes, I can [...]
