Goals are Powerful Things

October 28, 2015

Goals are powerful things. And I believe they are equally powerfully misunderstood. Most of us when we think about a goal associate it with failure, with meeting with supervisors and guidance counselors, of failed weight loss attempts, massive dreams turned gripping defeats. The mere word GOAL is enough to turn the stomach of many people. … More Goals are Powerful Things

I’ve been gone, making the gods laugh

October 27, 2013

I know, I've been away. For months. There is a saying out in the world, often attributed to either the Irish or Woody Allen interchangeably, but the origin makes it no less profound. If you want to make god laugh, make a plan.   I started out this year with a plan. I was fresh … More I’ve been gone, making the gods laugh

My Writing Process (with pictures)

Meditations on Change and Hair Dye

May 5, 2013

If you go there at night, you can see all the stars above, … More Meditations on Change and Hair Dye

Focusing on the Outcome

February 26, 2013

I want to be a writer. Specifically, I want to write and publish books. Books about vampires and fairies and an organization I created called the Wish Granter's Union. I want people to read what I write, to be inspired by my characters as I have been by other characters. I want to share what … More Focusing on the Outcome
