Fat Mogul vs Real Life

There are those days where I just can’t seem to want to focus on reality. . . today just happens to be one such day. I’m in the heat of excitement on both THE AGORA FILES and THE RISE OF THE FAT MOGUL right now, as I’m entering final edits …

The Trailer and Beyond

This past weekend found me doing very little of worth.  However, for approximately 15 minutes yesterday, I got my kids dressed up in their finest superhero attire (yes, my wife helped) and allowed them to play as their superhero alter-egos, Sparkle Princess and The Underwear Avenger. Yup, they were doing …

Happy New Year!

With the impending Labor Day weekend upon us, the school session beginning (or begun for many outside of Wisconsin), and the passing of my birthday, it’s quickly becoming obvious that summer has chosen to end.  The drive-in theater is going back to being open only on weekends, the concerts in …

One Shade of Gray

I know, I know, I’ve been ragging on the whole aging thing this week. . . but can you blame me? Anyways, like  clockwork, on the day of my birthday, some very obvious grays started appearing. . . You see, although it’s all hot and summery, and I was going …

The Zen of Fishing

It’s no secret that I’ve dealt with a lot of anxiety issues over the years.  There are a number of things that can stoke them up within me, but in the end, I find myself obsessing over one simple issue that really, for the most part, is inconsequential.  . . …

With Great Age Comes Great Responsibility

Alright, so the cat is out of the bag.  I’m old. But, I’m starting to become okay with that. Birthdays have traditionally been something I’ve pretended didn’t happen because it marked another year gone without actually achieving any of my goals. Another year closer to death, another year where I …

Explosive Sweat! (or something like that)

I don’t generally like to make a big deal of it. . . in fact, I usually attempt to put my posts on here regarding this subject at least a week after the fact, so as to avoid any attempts to remind that it is approaching. . . However, my …

The Battle with Muses

When I write, I find that only about half of what I do actually boils down to thoughtful work.  The other half really comes down to being struck by inspiration and riding that wave to see where it goes. Of course, there’s one major issue with this form of writing. …

Final Update (maybe?) on Cryptic Job Change

So, as the days pass, very little more information is coming out about my apparent new job duties.  I did sit in on a kick-off meeting for this project that I’ve been transferred over to, however, all I really gathered from the meeting is that it’s a really large project …

The Legend of Buddy Hero, coming to a store near you! (as long as you live in Eau Claire)

Welp, it looks like my little novel, The Legend of Buddy Hero is finally going to be hanging out on some bookshelves by the end of the week (assuming I actually get them out there).  The fine people at The Local Store, here in Eau Claire, have quite nicely reminded …
