A Return

For a long time, writing had become less than a chore to me. A chore at least has a purpose, an end goal. If I'm taking on the chore of doing dishes, by Christ, there will be some clean dishes at the end of the day. Writing wasn't even that to me. The odds that … Continue reading A Return →

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 →

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 →

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 →

Writing On Writing About Writing for a Writer

Hello Again, I've been going back and forth on what I want this blog to be and that's just given me plenty of great excuses to not write anything. And, if there's anything I excel at, it's creating excuses. In an attempt to make sure that I write something, anything, in this space, I'm freeing … Continue reading Writing On Writing About Writing for a Writer →

We Can Rebuild Him

Let's see if I remember how to do this... Over the last year or so I've been slowly drifting further and further away from where I want to be and it's only recently that I've made some very deliberate strides back to where I want to be. I started small. I've been going through this … Continue reading We Can Rebuild Him →

31 Days of Spoooktacular: Happy Halloween

I'm drinking a beer called Vampire Slayer (brewed by Clown Shoes). This isn't a review, I'm just letting you know that I have a dark, flavor rich beer and you should get some yourself. No, really I'm just here to say, Happy Halloween. We've spent a lot of time together, you and I and it's … Continue reading 31 Days of Spoooktacular: Happy Halloween →

31 Days of Spoooktacular: The Little Things

During the Halloween season, people reach for the big scares: movies, haunted theme park rides, horror conventions, creepy costumes. And, I think, they neglect the little details that permeate our lives that are truly unsettling. Take the following spam comment I got on one of my older entries: "How should I tell him the bad … Continue reading 31 Days of Spoooktacular: The Little Things →

31 Days of Spoooktacular: The Gauntlet

Way back in the beginning, you may recall that I said that 31 Days of Spoooktacular was part of how I planned to force writing to become a habit for me. Writing has always been something I do sporadically, intermittently and with no true pattern. Even over the course of this year, where I've given myself … Continue reading 31 Days of Spoooktacular: The Gauntlet →

31 Days of Spoooktacular: A Repeat

I'm copping out tonight. Not for any real reason, except that maybe I don't want to put you through some half-assed attempt at something. Instead I'll just pull something out of the long ago for you to read. There are two reasons why this entry might seem familiar: A) You've been reading my blog for … Continue reading 31 Days of Spoooktacular: A Repeat →
