It Is The End, My Friends

Hello, I've reached the end of my blogging for 30 days spectacular. I'm pretty happy about that. I found out that it's really hard to think of thirty interesting blog entries sequentially. But it has kickstarted my interest in writing and has gotten some gears turning again that I thought would be forever rusted up. … Continue reading It Is The End, My Friends →

Write It Out

Hello, I'm not a plotter. I don't like planning out my stories at all. It robs me of the thrill of discovery. I sometimes start a story having no idea where it's going to go, but that's what makes writing exciting to me. I can go on the same journey as someone reading the story … Continue reading Write It Out →

Writing Update

Hello, I'm nearing the end of my experiment to write in this blog every day and I'm looking forward to that last day. There's only so much I can say, day in and day out and I'm sure there are days when y'all could tell I was checked out, especially on those 11:00pm postings. But … Continue reading Writing Update →

News In An Echo Chamber

Hello, I realized recently that I get the majority of my news through social media sites and that's really got to stop. Most of the time, I only hear about events important enough to be blared out in all-caps, bolded typeface sprayed all over the worst possible photograph of Donald Trump. While this is helpful … Continue reading News In An Echo Chamber →

Ranked

Hello, One of the things I noticed while I was researching Moonraker's standings with Bond fans is that there a million best of lists for James Bond movies and they're all garbage. All of them. There is no consistency where what movies lay where on the rankings. Oh sure, you'll see From Russia With Love, Casino Royale and The … Continue reading Ranked →

Made to Order

Hello, I don't cook that often. My obsessiveness leads me to constantly rework the same thing over and over and over again until I'm finally happy with the finished product and then I will continue to make that thing and nothing else to the end of my days. I have a recipe for chocolate chip … Continue reading Made to Order →

Raked Over the Coals: In Defense of Moonraker

Hello, I want to talk about Moonraker. Not the book. The movie. The criminally underrated movie. On most lists ranking Bond movies, lists by the way that are all shockingly wrong, Moonraker is usually toward the bottom, sometimes below such objectively awful entries like Diamonds Are Forever and Never Say Never Again. I just watched Moonraker for the … Continue reading Raked Over the Coals: In Defense of Moonraker →

Soundtrack

Hello, Music and I have an iffy relationship at best. I've never been the kind of person who sits and just...listens to music. The idea of doing that doesn't even really make sense to me, although I'm aware that my attention span requires a very specific set of circumstances to keep me in my seat. … Continue reading Soundtrack →

Walking Around

Hello, I do a lot of walking, mostly by choice. It's become my go-to when I have something I want to mull over, when I don't want to think, when I just want to space out time. Because walking doesn't eat up miles. It takes time. What would take minutes by car now takes an … Continue reading Walking Around →

disconnected

Hello, I lost the internet today. I'm not exactly devastated by the loss, but it's cramped my style, at least as far as blogging goes. So, I'm going to apologize in advance for what's going to be a tedious entry. But, God as my witness, I hate writing on my phone. Texting, blogging, snapping: whatever … Continue reading disconnected →
