Back On The Horse

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted. Too long. I’ve fallen off the horse, readers. Events conspired to buck me off. I want to say it’s everything else’s fault but mine. I know better.

Life has been really hard lately. I’ve gotten derailed. And now that I’ve been derailed for a little while, it feels too big to start again. This rut is a lot easier to stay in than climb out of.

Ruts are comfortable places, even when they’re filled with suffering. They’re what you know. They are full of the u...

The Tale of a Wizard: How A 9 Year Old Girl Got Published

You read that correctly: A nine year old child, with just a few ideas and a few very short stories scrawled on a few sheets of line paper, is now a published author. How did she do it?

The simple answer? She did the work.

The long answer is a bit more complicated, but I’ll keep it fairly short and sweet, because this isn’t my story; it’s Hannah’s.

Hannah is a 9 year old elementary student in Washington State. She recently wrote 3 short stories as part of her assignment for school. Needless to sa...

Hold it. This is NOT you mother’s boy-meets-girl book. RABBIT IN THE ROAD is the amazing, genre-straddling debut by Oliver Campbell and Danika D. Potts. Is it literary horror? Psychological Thriller? P...

Guest Post: Greg Fisher, “On Endings”

Mr. Oliver back here again with a brief introduction to this post. Namely, I didn’t write it!

This was shared with me by the author and I was asked to take a look at it, since I’m both in games and writing. Needless to say, I was blown AWAY by the careful thought and consideration that went into this personal essay, and I asked for permission to repost it here for everyone else to read and enjoy.

Although the topic in question is about video games, the things he’s speaking of aren’t necessarily...

Coach

You didn't come into this life just to sit around on a dugout bench, did ya? Now get your ass out there and do the best you can.

When it comes to performance, there’s nothing like a coach. Wikipedia currently lists twenty-one different types of coaches, and that’s not breaking down any particular sports.
