Starting the Writing Journey…late
I have a short essay up over at The Nerd Daily about my decision to try and be a writer later on in life and about all the catch-up I had to play for that to happen. There are many paths to writing, but the one piece you can't avoid is reading. And I wasn't … Continue reading Starting the Writing Journey…late

Molotov Cocktail’s Prize Winners Anthology Vol. 5
The Molotov Cocktail publishes a unique brand of short fiction that, to me at least, stands out from the crowd. Most is horror tinged, but always with emotional heft, and a solid dose of heart. In addition to their regularly scheduled issues, they also run four themed-contests a year and then publish an anthology with … Continue reading Molotov Cocktail’s Prize Winners Anthology Vol. 5

Writing Through Guilt as the World Falls Apart
Even the title of this piece can't help but sound both woe is me and Chicken Little, but even so, these lamentations are probably more justified now than at any time in recent memory. When have so many different forces coalesced to bring on both crippling anxiety and existential dread? Sure, there were periods when … Continue reading Writing Through Guilt as the World Falls Apart
His Dark Materials and Its Brilliant Use of Color
When I heard that HBO was going to do His Dark Materials, my response was a combination of joy and relief. Joy, because, well, Lyra's tale is perhaps my favorite story of all time, and relief because it meant I could erase from my mind that travesty of a film from 2007 staring Dakota Richards … Continue reading His Dark Materials and Its Brilliant Use of Color
