What’s the big idea? It’s a blog post, sheesh, get with it already. So here we are in October, and my 30th is just around the corner. What a trip man. 30! Unbelievable. But more on that later. I’m signed up for a few writer’s groups here in San Diego. It’s a basic must for … More It’s About Damn Time
It’s been an interesting week. It’s not every day you get to meet a celebrity / governor of a state / vice presidential candidate. I mean, unless you work in D.C., and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Well, maybe some. In any case, Sarah Palin came by the office! She was in town and … More Alaska Comes Home
The book trailer for my sci-fi novel The Sovereign finally debuts! … More The Sovereign Trailer Lands
It’s another Sunday! Another week gone by, was it good for you? Just finished reading Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, (or in Swedish, “Men Who Hate Women”). It was pretty good! It started off dreadfully slow, but built up steam and got more and more exciting as it went along. I know it’s been out for a … More Lazy Sunday Mornings
So there’s a lot of great stuff out there for writers. I’m engaging the writing community much more these days as I’m preparing for the launch of my book trailer. There are so many resources available for people who want to get their work out there. The only tricky part is training yourself to take … More How to Train Your Writer
“Imagination grows by exercise, and contrary to common belief, is more powerful in the mature than in the young.” W. Somerset Maugham Inspiration is a funny thing. It comes and goes, and if you wait for it, you probably won’t find it. It’s something that’s really always there, and if you’re in tune with your … More No Ke Ano Ahiahi
The titles always come from some spur of the moment inspiration. This is from a number of things, but I’m listening to the soundtrack from Braveheart right now, and this is one of the song titles, which also fits with the subject of the featured photo. So, a little update on how everything’s going. I … More Pleading for Wallace
That’s what I’m listening to right now. It’s pretty relaxing. I’ve been on a bit of an eastern culture kick recently, and it’s appealing to that exotic, oriental mystery that’s always seemed like it would be a good idea to explore with a journey to Bhutan or Nepal or Tibet someday. Sooner rather than later, … More Three Hours of Tibetan Monks Chanting
So how about those midterms, eh? But seriously, I work in a news station so it’s pretty hard to avoid anything to do with politics. Which is ironic, considering how I feel about politics and the news in general. When I started working at my first TV station, I hadn’t read a news article in … More Old Men’s Words
I don’t listen to NPR much these days. Nothing against NPR, I don’t listen to anything much these days. If I’m writing, music is distracting. And if I’m driving, I listen to books on tape, which I also listen to while exercising. Don’t get me wrong, I love music. But there never seems to be … More Today on All Things Considered
