It has, indeed, been over two months since my last blog post, and there’s a good reason for that.  Laziness.  Laziness and being massively busy with several things all at the same time. As a matter of fact, in a two week span I found and started a new job, found and bought a new [...]

The times they are a becoming more like those other times but not quite.  I’ll explain… Our year in Seoul has come to an end and we’re back in the US of A, Chicago to be exact, and visiting my family.  Since arriving my sister and brother-in-law has given birth to their first child (a [...]

It’s unabashed, unrelenting, and mixing with my brain, this lull. So I bought some limeade.  I’m hoping it’s bitter bite will awaken my inner something or rather. As it stands, some things have happened and others have not.  To be more obtuse, the world still turns.  Or to put it a different way, I’ve spent [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

In a week where I’ll begin a short term, slightly dubious job, it’s time to continue talking about Writing a Book. But, see, there’s some connective sinew here. There’s reason to all this rambling, there usually might be, and here we go. Writing a book often becomes a full-time job. And not only just the [...]

This will be a brief post because it’s yoga night, there’s Lost to be watched, and dinner to be made.  Today’s topic is scheduling and how important it is for any writer ever. Anyone can pick up a book on keeping a schedule.  There are hundreds of thousands, flooding the market.  Books on scheduling your [...]

As I continue writing stories and prepare for a larger project to come to fruition I felt as though today was as good a day as any to relax, edit some personal video, and write a blog entry.  But what to write about…  I could, as I promised a while ago, continue with another post [...]
