Norman Christof is the pen name for Chris Campbell - an amalgamized name of his father Norman and his own.

Born, raised and still living in Southwestern Ontario, Canada, Chris started writing sci-fi adventure stories about aliens, robots and flying saucers as early as age seven. More "practical" career choices filled Chris's life for many of his adult years, but eventually he found his way back to the wonderful world of writing.

Can Playing Games Make Me A Better Writer?

The little gamer deep down inside sure hopes it does.

Or is it just wishful thinking on my part?

I’ve tried so many things, to break my out of my writing blocks that playing games woudn’t be the most ridiculous of them. I’ve read countless books on the topic, tried multiple types of organization techniques, everything from Google Calendar to Bullet Journals. The bullet journal approach is my latest,

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
