Fat Mogul vs. Advertising

One of the first hitngs you need to do when working out a marketing plan, is deciding how far you’re willing to go.  I talked about this not too long ago in a post about drawing your own personal line in the sand. For instance…I hate advertising. I often dream of a world without banner ads, billboards, commercials, and junk… Read more →

Flash Fiction: Snow Day

Here it is, folks…my first actual, real attempt at Flash Fiction.  Feel free to be as cruel as you want in the comments. Snow Day I pull my comforter in tightly around me as the first rays of sunlight peer in through my window and attempt to wake me.  I hear the faint cries of my mother from downstairs as… Read more →

Fat Mogul vs. Disney World

I have to admit that out of all of the topics I came up with for the weekly schedule the item that I was most nervous about was Tidbit Thursday.  Not because I don’t have things I know about that I like to talk about, but that I really just don’t know how to make most of these facts interesting.… Read more →

Fat Mogul vs. Giving Writing Advice

I know that not very long ago, I had a long post on here about offering advice that wasn’t asked for (and how I thought it was a dangerous, and often bad, idea). Guess what?  Once a week, I’m doing precisely that, right here, on this very blog, as announced on the post on Monday. Funny thing is…I’m not sure… Read more →

Fat Mogul vs. The Infant

It’s rather odd for me to realize that out of all of my posts on here, the ones that tend to get the most attention are the ones about my children, and yet, my newest little guy is over 3 weeks old now and I’ve barely talked about his directly…you know, outside of the plethora of posts regarding how absolutely… Read more →

Fat Mogul vs. The Blog Schedule

Hey folks! Today marks yet another milestone in the effort toward making this blog something that you might actually want to read.  That’s right, I’ve developed a schedule.  Every week, more or less, I will make the effort toward sticking to the following daily topics.  There will be additional posts from time to time, for things like book reviews and… Read more →

Fat Mogul vs. The Half Day

I’ve been working half days at my real job this week, and I really thought it would be an amazing time to get to hang out with the newest little dude in my life as well as getting things done that I’ve been wanting to get done for forever (like finishing The Right to Liberty). Instead, like I said on… Read more →

Fat Mogul vs. Planning

This week marks a completely new moment in the history of this blog…I’ve actually planned ahead. Now, this might not seem like much, because the posts as of yet have been completely random, but this sentence, the one you’re reading right here, was written on Monday! On Monday! Now, to be completely honest here, the rest of this was written… Read more →

Fat Mogul vs. The Ninja Turtles

I’ll admit, although I consider my memory to be fairly solid, in general…my childhood seems to be mostly a blur of school and swimming.  Perhaps it’s just that I haven’t spent much time as an adult reflecting on my past, instead focusing on the future.  Perhaps it’s just that there are parts of my childhood that I’d rather not think… Read more →

Fat Mogul vs. The Clock

I’ve found myself in this very interesting situation of having very little time and so many things to do. So much, in fact, that I’ve been working only 4 hour days this past week, in order to help out with the new little guy, but still feel as though I’ve barely touched the lad.  The fact that he seems to… Read more →
