Hello Again, Whenever I do one of these insane writing challenges, I feel the need to beat myself up about not meeting the self imposed rules that are, often, brutally unfair. That being said, I am going to say that as a result of this challenge (one blog entry, one five hundred word story per … Continue reading An Update

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
The Magic in the World
Instead of writing my movie review, I've been sitting here watching episode after episode of Fool Us, a British show where various British magicians try and fool Penn and Teller with their magic tricks. It's just forty-five minutes of magicians trying their hardest and I can't stop watching it. I have a fascination with magic … Continue reading The Magic in the World
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: Sweet Dreams Are Made of These
When I was younger, I used to have nightmares on occasion; terrible things that woke me up in the middle of the night, sweating and shaken. I once woke up to pitch black and I could have sworn that I heard someone whisper, "I'm going to kill you". There were a couple of uneasy moments … Continue reading 31 Days of Spoooktacular: Sweet Dreams Are Made of These
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
31 Days of Spoooktacular: The Halfway Point
It is now the 16th of October and the halfway point, or a little over the halfway point. 31 doesn't really split equally very well. I'm torn with how this is turning out. It's really hard to write non-stop about one subject for 31 days and keep it interesting for both myself and the people … Continue reading 31 Days of Spoooktacular: The Halfway Point
