There’s very little to get to here and a lot of time to get to it. That’s what I keep telling myself so it doesn’t seem like I’m lazy. Anyway, the gears of my brain and time and space and the vastness of the interwebbings are working in tandem for the first time in a [...]

Writing a Book: Hope and Motivation
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 [...]
And for those interested…
Here’s a word cloud for this site. Impressed, eh? Create your own crap at Wordle. And now I’m back to work.
‘Still Alive’ by Jonathan Colton, perhaps?
It has been some time since my last post. After two computer problems, two visits to the Apple genius bar, being sick for a week, packing, and flying to the other end of the world we’re alive. And that’s figurative and realistic…or something. We’re here in Songpa-Gu, Seoul, South Korea settling into our second apartment [...]
The not as long as I thought list
Things are moving fast out here in Denver, so I’ll make bullets of the current. We’ll be moving to South Korea by the end of this or early next month to teach English to children. We’re both really excited as this means we’ll be able to teach, save some money, and attempt to ride out [...]
The Shenandoah River’s in Virginia?
Then what does Colorado have? …mountains? Let me see them…all right, you win this round. Keep tuned to the Now? section for pictures of our many adventures! We’re in the Denver area, hanging out, attempting to not count our chickens before they’ve hatched, and look for work. As it stands we haven’t found much on [...]
The cross country shuffle
Well folks, the time is nigh. A week from today we fly to Colorado to begin our eventual move to Pasadena. It’s an exciting and extremely stressful moment in our lives as we’ve only been married two weeks now and started to get a handle on life as a couple. Now its time to throw [...]
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
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 [...]
Keeping Tabs on Iran
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 [...]
