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 creative process is mythical and never clearly defined.  At no point in college does anyone say “this is how to write a story” and offer step-by-step instructions.  We required to figure it out for ourselves.  So, we spend time on ideas, accumulated into Moleskines or folders on your hard drive, and structure, on notecards [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Its been some time since I’ve posted but I can’t apologize for that. Things have been crazy. Planning, the trying on of clothing, and writing of sizable, novelty checks that turn out to actually be worth what is printed on them have all come and gone. Today is the day. As it stands, my soon-to-be [...]

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 [...]

Its been a while.  A long while. Since I last wrote I went back to college after a five year hiatus, got engaged, and graduated.  After that has been a bit of a blur.  Wedding planning hasn’t gone as we had hoped – you know, simple and easy – and we’re both trying to figure [...]

So, yes, I was gone for a while there.  And for this, I’m truly sorry…sort of. It’s been a crazy few weeks .  There’s been SoulPancake set backs and visits to Chicago and the spending of the majority of my time doing class work. This will all lead up, joyfully, to Spring Break, which is [...]
