A Thor Review: Chicken or the Egg?

May 12th, 2011

A friend and I saw Thor last night…uhh…I really don’t know where to go from there, so I’ll let Roger Ebert’s review speak for me. Thor is not a good movie.  As a Thor movie, it’s all right.  As a comic book movie it’s quite bad.  As a movie it’s a massive disappointment.  But Roger [...]

Scams have gotten dumber

Sep 7th, 2010

Neigh on 10 years ago someone decided scams needed to take the next logical step.  After messages were carefully crafted, those first scam emails were disseminated.  The minute the first person opened their inbox and saw that offer from the “Deposed Leader of Nigeria”, those scammers started making money. Since then, scammers have tried new [...]

Writing a Book: Those Low Moments

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 [...]

Humans find it difficult to accept that the world has changed

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 [...]

Brewers 1st round pick Dylan Covey does not sign

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 [...]

Writing a Book: Hope and Motivation

Apr 16th, 2010

I’ll kick this off, finally, with something that has been on my mind a lot lately: hope and motivation. There’s this phenomenon with creative types where they need to keep themselves going.  That’s to say, when everything around them is crushing or there’s little to be excited or have faith in but something keeps them [...]

Thor, you jerk

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. This derailment doesn’t mean I won’t be writing about the [...]

Lost and impatient

Feb 12th, 2010

I’ve been reading people’s complaints about Lost and feel I must chime in. After all, if there are to be this many detractors, someone has to come to its aid. Lost has, since immediately after season 1, completely gone off the rails. I don’t mean that in the sense that story or suspense has become [...]

Why, it’s the day you get a cudgeling to remember

Taking a break now, I’d like to tell you all what is and has been going on in the world of David and the great balloon heist…err, the move to L.A. There have been many conversations and folks sent my way by way of conversations with folks that have lead me to understand, a bit, [...]

Frustrations when writing for tweens, a meandering journey

Jul 8th, 2009
by David Faroz Precht.

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 [...]
