I wrote a book in one sitting last night. No, I’m not any kind of superhero and I’m certainly not a speed writer (or speed reader for that matter.) But I did it. But here’s the secret: The “book” in question was less than one thousand words long. In fact, at 950 word it’s still […]
A brief history of ME and why I have this blog
A few years ago, I said “screw it,” and decided to finally take a stab at something I’ve wanted to do as long as I could remember. And that something was writing fiction. So one December a few years ago, at the urging of my lovely wife, I poured a glass of Clan MacGregor (the […]
When ghosts were real and Nessie still swam in the Loch
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to stuff that terrifies me, especially if it’s from the area of the unexplained, paranormal, or supernatural. I fondly remember the second grade when a classmate snuck a book from the high school section of our school’s library that retold all sorts of “true” ghost […]
Live Your Life, Don’t Merely Survive it.
I’ll start by divulging a little secret about being a dad for those of you out there who haven’t yet had the pleasure of becoming a parent: You’re continuously exhausted.

Does where you write affect how you write?
Over the years as our family grew, my “writing room” stayed mostly constant, until it eventually became a bedroom for kiddie # 3 and I moved my writing desk to the basement. That didn’t last too long since the basement ended up becoming our bedroom. Now my “writing office” is usually the kitchen table (although […]
Ignore the Naysayers
I was driving to work a few days ago and found something interesting on one of the FM morning shows. In between the usual banter or “deep” discussions about current pop culture, one of the shows was having a discussion about a book by Seth Godin. Unfortunately, I’m not sure which book it was, but […]
