The Junk Drawer

Well!  Turns out the easiest way to encourage oneself to write is to swear off writing for a week.  What a week it has been!  Now, though, it's time for the junk drawer.  Here's what I did this week: This week on Junk Drawer day, I split my time.  First, I put in a bit …

In Passing: Carrie Fisher

When I first watched Star Wars, I was very young.  My parents, who were nerds as I was, were kind enough to introduce me to the wondrous world of lightsabers and Jedi, of Death Stars and starfighters...the ultimate battle between good and evil.   I watched through wide eyes with rapt attention, hanging on every …

Well it's been a productive week, dreamers, and today was no exception.

Writer’s Desk

Hello again, dreamers.  It's been a rough few weeks, but I think it's safe to say that I have conquered my writer's block at last.  Of course, this is a perfect time for me to have caught the stomach bug that's been going around.  Nonetheless, this too shall pass, and I'm hoping for a good …
