I’m currently typing this on my MacBook Air. Well, not really typing per se, but rather dictating. This is something that I’ve experimented with in the past a little, but the software was lacking and expensive so it was a big barrier to entry. So like most writers, I just started typing even though I…
I just realized something
I’m sitting here on my couch with a nice buzz, thinking about stuff. With a clearer mind these days, I’ve been thinking more and more about writing. I was thinking about all the books that I’ve written and the plot lines for all those books. That’s when it occurred to me; something peculiar, yet not…
To a new beginning…
Not that I used it much, but I will no longer have a page on Facebook.

I’ll also write longer articles around specific topics, but it’ll all still live here. It’ll be categorized. Anyway, I just finished updating the main website…
Writing 2.0
In 2010, I wrote my first piece of fiction since quitting in frustration a decade earlier. It felt pretty good finishing a short story again. So good, that I decided I should keep it going. In 2011, I finished a novel. It sold quite well. I focused on sales and on pushing myself beyond reasonable…
The Blog is Back
Now that I’ve moved everything over to a new hosting provider, it’s super easy to make new sites. I don’t have to do any of the server maintenance I had to do before, so it leaves me more time for creating content. With that in mind, I decided to resurrect the blog website. This is…
