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 [...]

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 [...]

Here’s a word cloud for this site. Impressed, eh? Create your own crap at Wordle.  And now I’m back to work.

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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]
