Portrait of a Writer at Work
Short blog post for you this week, detailing a short look at a very short story. A 10-word story, to be exact. The Assingment I’m a member of The Alliance of Independent Authors, an organization that just celebrated its 10-year anniversary. To commemorate the occasion, they hosted a 10-word story competition. Considering my short attention span, […]

I’m Changing My Pen Name to Squm
Samuel Clemens became Mark Twain. Lew Alcindor became Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Sméagol became Gollum. And today, Kyle A. Massa becomes Squm. There are several reasons I’ve settled on this new pen name, and in today’s article, I’d like to enumerate them. Here’s a free reason: Squm was my invented gamer tag for Super Smash Bros. Melee way […]

How to Take Forever to Write a Book
My new novel, Eggs for the Ageless, finally arrives on May 16, 2022. I say “finally” because it’s taken eight years to write. For context, here are some differences between then and now: No one had yet heard of the phrase “social distancing.” Tom Brady only had three Super Bowl titles. “TiK ToK” was a song […]

The World Without Winter
Tired of the cold, salt, and snow? This article may be for you. Full transparency: I live in New York, USA (the state, not the city). Winter here lasts from roughly November through March, so I’ll apologize for the regionalist mindset upfront. And yes, I know winter is basically absent from Florida, Mali, Tatooine, and many […]

The Last Blog Post of My 20s
On March 6, 2022, I’m turning 30. However, I suspect some part of me has always been 30. For instance, I wear sandals with socks whenever the weather allows. I’ve prefer old music to most anything trending today (except for Lady Gaga, who’s timeless). I pre-date Facebook, Justin Bieber, and Magic: The Gathering. And as of […]

Some Semi-Serious Super Bowl LVI Tips
The Super Bowl is the greatest American holiday nobody gets off from work. It’s also the perfect opportunity to make frivolous bets, stuff ourselves with several varieties of chips, and Google what those Roman numerals mean. If you’re wondering what else to expect on Sunday, here are my semi-serious Super Bowl LVI tips. (By the way, I […]

My Most Embarrassing Writing Fails
My grandparents on my dad’s side were famous for never wasting anything. This is not a statement of hyperbole. For instance, instead of killing dandelions in her yard, my grandmother served them as salad toppers. Also, my grandfather once hammered every rusty nail from every board of a dismantled shed, then stored the nails in […]

The World Without the New England Patriots
Over the past 20 years and change, only one sports franchise has won six Super Bowls, deflated somebody’s balls, and pummeled the hapless AFC East. I’m talking about the New England Patriots. But we’re not here to pat them on the back (their fans do enough of that). Today, we’re here to imagine a world […]
