I doubt anyone reads this page anymore. Are blogs even still a thing? But story ideas have been coming hot and heavy lately. I had a novel and a short story idea just in the last couple days. I have only 4 weeks left of graduate school. I used to do some writing in break…

Last night I had a Cloud Atlas-level of complexity to my dream. It was amazing! So much so that I did not make the effort to try and remember it while I was sleeping (I’m a lucid dreamer) because I didn’t want to miss anything. Actors I recognized were Liam Neeson, Nathan Fillion, Paul Dano,…

I was in the mood to overwrite something tonight. I had a glimmer of an idea during a drive to New Brunswick that I’m letting percolate in my brain. I thought I’d do a quick wind sprint and make it as thick and sappy as I could. DREAM CHASING Amid the darkness of sleep, dreams…

So I’m working toward my Masters of Science in Instructional Design and Technology (how to make education better, basically) and I’ve found that I can’t write a research paper every week, do my regular job, and write a novel all at the same time. However, I have a three-month break coming up, starting next week, and…

My wife and I are big fans of the Starz original series, Black Sails. She’s never read Treasure Island nor played Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag (which we’ll count as research for purposes of this show 😉 ), so it’s all new to her. But seeing Flint, Silver, and Billy Bones all together is wicked exciting.…

Like most geeks, I hopped on board the 2004 Battlestar Galactica sensation. Like fewer, I was still a stalwart fan of the original series. And perhaps on my own, I still prefer the original to the reboot. The original series was what it was and it did what it was very well. The reboot showed…

I don’t look forward to the day physicists figure out what dark energy is. Right now it’s this “We know it’s there, but we don’t know what it is” thing, so writers can make it whatever they want and only “You can’t do that with science” assholes will get upset. This must be like how…

I’ve been watching a lot of old episodes of A Show with Ze Frank on YouTube. As part of the show, an artist animates dreams submitted by viewers. Their experiences are SO different than how I dream. I dream stories like I’m watching a movie or sometimes living as one of the characters but always…

I’ve been bumbling around a concept for a few weeks and while I was watching “Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries” (which you should totally watch, because it’s awesome), a few lines popped into my head and I figured I should write them down before I go to bed. So here they are: Â Victoria wasn’t always…

Louisa Walker named her daughter Beth after Beth March of Little Women. Louisa May Alcott was her namesake and Beth the character that inspired her to play the piano, so it seemed only fitting that she should name her eldest after the character that meant so much to her. If only she knew the influence of names…
