Stories Outside the Norm
For one wild moment, let’s all remember that stories can be told many different ways! I understand that when someone finds a system that works and sells books and engages readers, there’s good reason to copy that system. My dad and I were watching an old movie a few months ago and he made a …

As human beings, we all have that little monster of selfishness that wants everything to come back to us. I’ve heard this mantra of writers helping …

5 Futuristic Technologies We Need Today
Admittedly, when it comes to technology there’s always bad and good. Sometimes we seem to invent things that will bring out the worst in us. But there are always good advances too. Why don’t these things exist already? I would use them every day. Holographic Pictures (from Serenity) Because three-dimensional people don’t look like themselves …
