James Patterson’s Master Writing Class

I still don’t think I’d pay for it, but I like what this writer had to say about it.

With You in Kyoto: Spring 2004

Something I wrote the first time I visited Kyoto with my wife.


With You in Kyoto: Spring 2004


Kyoto with its Golden Temple,

three story statues of fierce

Buddha manifestations, and

thousands of wooden Kannons

did not bring peace.


Instead sitting with you

gazing at a small moss garden

deep in the belly of another

massive temple, finally brought

the contentment I needed.


Thousand Blessings Child

you are my prayer answered.

I feel the we, the I, the now,

hand and hand here in the sun.

The Viper Guru: Wattpad’s

I decided to take the wattpad 30 day/10,000 word writing challenge. It seems a little more doable to me than the NAMO. I’m hoping to get in at least 333 words a day if not more. Check out here if you are interested.

I guess being a writer has always been tough though.

Well this is depressing.


But it is in the nature of corporatism to externalise costs wherever possible. The costs of living as a writer get passed on – writers teach, edit, review, ghost-write, cab-drive, put out in myriad ways so that they may write the books that support the global corporate entity that is modern-day publishing.
