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 [...]

That whole “book” thing…yeah
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: Keeping to a Schedule
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Writing a Book: An Introduction
I’ve decided on a new aspect for this blog: the process of writing a book. The whole blog won’t just be this, of course, but I’d like to focus on it a bit more than anything else…anything else being that I haven’t written anything at all for quite some time. As well, it’ll allow me [...]
Disappointing Days
Laziness set in quickly. Then, boredom. Then, I got yelled at by my wife. And now I’m trying harder. That sounds much harsher on my wife then it should. She didn’t “yell” at me, per say, as much as read an essay by George Orwell about the downfall of writing and excerpts from a book [...]
A sign of things
Some quick notes before I get back to work… We’re nearly at our 1 month mark, here in Korea, and considering purchasing a wireless router as a reward. Wouldn’t that be swell! Anyway, it’s Friday afternoon here, nearly late night Thursday for those in the U.S. und Ahh, and I’m thinking about relaxing over the [...]
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 [...]
