Making the decision to rework The Cataract was a good one. It was a good one only because I knew with the little I had, I could do with it what I wanted to do with it all those years ago. I opened it up, a file that I hadn’tContinue Reading
I think many people know about National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo which happens in November. This November writing challenge began in 1999. Camp NanoWriMo began in 2011 and it currently has two events, one in April and the second in July. In short, the goal is to draft aContinue Reading
As I got deeper into the March creative challenge, I assembled all the drawing I had made that I would use for my mini comic and marveled at how bad I thought they were. I wanted to keep the feeling of the hand drawn images, even if they were rudimentary.Continue Reading

I never thought of myself as being an interesting person. Over the course of my life, I have done interesting things, I’ve read interesting books and I’ve been both delighted and disquieted from interesting thoughts. I often think about dinner. When it comes to dinner, there are just so manyContinue Reading
I don’t need to tell anyone in this country how hard it is to communicate with 50% of the people you meet. I have people in my family who voted Trump. And since that statement pretty much means that I didn’t, you can only image how it’s been. We thinkContinue Reading
