When I first began writing, I used to do most of it by hand. There was always something special about the tactile feel of putting the words on to paper. Typing is always more efficient, but longhand is personal and unique. Everyone’s handwriting is different. While my handwriting is pretty messy, some people’s words can […]

Has anyone noticed the recent trend of remakes, sequels, prequels, and anthologies flooding the market? How often have you sat and thought something up, and then realized someone already beat you to it? It seems like there is no original thought these days. Creativity can be stifled, because people feel like they can’t be innovative. […]
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” -Martin Luther King Today, we all celebrate the birth of a truly inspirational man.

Does anyone think it is too off base to consider that maybe we, as Americans, should focus on our troubles here at home, instead of spending so much time being involved in foreign affairs? I get that we have to keep some sort of global presence, but we can’t go around fixing everyone else’s problems […]

(This is a public service announcement. Chronic back pain is no joke. I’m not talking minor aches and pains. I’m talking every day is a struggle to do the most basic things. Don’t be stubborn. It isn’t worth it.) Almost everyone, at some point in their life, has to deal with back pain. All kinds […]
The Force Awakens (or possibly, now that it is domestically the highest grossing movie in history after on 21 days, Disney’s Golden Vaults Awaken) has finally brought Star Wars back. FINALLY.
