Monday Motivation #2 (Alan Watts)
Here we are, my friends, another beginning, another opportunity, another Monday. Now today, we’re not just cranking the psyche system to 11 and getting all sorts of spastic motivated. I’m not your spin instructor, and you don’t need me showering you with spittle as I channel my inner drill sergeant. Instead, I’m gonna ask you…
Read MoreJoin me live on Facebook in one hour!
We’re going live on Facebook at 3pm (CST)! Grab a friend, some popcorn, and join me for my first ever Facebook Live session.

Read MoreCriticism is an Anal Probe. (Writing Workshop)
Into the Digital Catacombs We Go I went full Indiana Jones on my writing hard drive this morning. Plumbing the depths of your old content never fails to enlighten. It’s also good if you’re in need of a good cringefest (gotta keep those facial muscles nice and tone, after-all). They say good writing is good…
Read More[Interview] Jason Hough on Mass Effect, Collaboration, and Series Writing
[box] Jason Hough has written some damned cool science fiction in the few years he’s been on the scene. He first caught my attention with The Darwin Elevator back in 2013, but he’s been consistently pumping out high-quality, adventure sci-fi (Zero World, Injection Burn, Escape Velocity) that is definitely worth your time. Look for him on Twitter at…
Read MoreNecrotech [Book Review]
Street thug Riko has some serious issues—memories wiped, reputation tanked, girlfriend turned into a tech-fueled zombie. And the only people who can help are the mercenaries who think she screwed them over. In an apathetic society devoid of ethics or regulation, where fusing tech and flesh can mean a killing edge or a killer conversion,…
Read MoreThe Sequel Nearly Broke Me
<<<The Sequel Nearly Broke Me>>> I nterested to hear the story of how Mind Breach, the long awaited sequel to Time Heist, nearly broke my heart and soul? Curious to see how close I came to full-blown insanity? Perhaps you’re struggling with an albaross’ian project and need to know you aren’t utterly alone wallowing in…
Read MoreMonday Motivation #1 (Simon Sinek)
Time to perk up, folks, Monday has arrived. Yeah, yeah, I know, Mondays are rough. You partied hard (or went into complete couch potato mode) this weekend and the last thing you want to do is putter into work for another week of drudgery. I get it. I do. Truly. But you’ve got a choice:…
Read More4 Ways to Take Control of Your Life
Welcome to the world of fragmented attention. Let’s face it, we’re screwed. We’re deep inside a digital age that has reduced our attention spans to the equivalent of a high-functioning goldfish. From the moment we slide our slabs of meat out of bed in the morning, to the moment we cannonball back in that evening,…
Read MoreStranger Things 2 Trailer
Stranger Things splashed down last year on Netflix and made all sorts of waves. It’s an impressive mix of nostalgic throw-back to a simpler time when life was spent nerding out in the basement with a handful of close buddies, coupled with the sort of paranormal horror story you can only truly achieve when the…
Read MoreKill your darlings. Kill’em dead. (Writing Workshop)
My hard-drive is littered with carcasses. It’s a literary graveyard. Overflowing with the remains of sweet, beautiful little darlings cut down in the prime of their lives. And with every darling I’ve ever butchered, I died a little inside. Some of you will understand my murderous tendencies. Others are edging their way towards the door/back…
