I Never Was Good at the Processes of Writing


Blog, Writing

I really need to find the motivation to finish my novel draft and then start outlining my Peace Corps book. I just can’t and I keep coming up with excuses for “better” things to do. Somebody please help. For example, last month I wanted to write 30,000 words to finish my novel. I started and […]

Primary School Classroom Construction Hey, does anyone remember a couple of years ago when I asked you for money? It wasn’t really for me, but I was still asking and it made me happy. Well, I’m asking again and it will make me happy once more if you’re able to give.

Birthday Pints


Blog

I try not to brag about things because it’s unbecoming. However, sometimes I really need to climb atop a tall building and shout for all to hear, “I HAVE SOMETIME AWESOME THAT YOU NEED TO HEAR ABOUT!” This time around, I want to shout about how great my girlfriend, Ellie, is. She was unable to […]

Thanksgiving 2013


Blog

Around this time of year, I swoon over the idea of Thanksgiving. Give me the opportunity, and I’ll tell you why I truly think it’s the greatest holiday (there’s no stress of gifts and the sole purpose of the holiday is to eat and be happy with what you have). I yearn for the food–the […]

Squandered Potential

First Snow


Blog

The work day goes by a lot faster when you show up late. We had our first snow of the season last night, and while it was only a few inches, I ended up being 45 minutes late to work. I didn’t realize it would slow me down as much as it did. Everyone in […]

Website Woes


Blog

I have a few writings on the back-burner at the moment because, if you haven’t noticed, my site is plagued with issues now. I can’t seem to figure out what the problem is. I suspect faulty databases. That’s what I’m going to attempt to fix next. Anyway, hang in there. If things don’t look right […]

Web Redesign 2013


Blog

I know I mentioned a while back that I wanted to redesign my site. It was probably further back than I’m used to for announcing website updates. And I realize, if you poke around this site, nothing has really changed yet. But don’t think I’m not working on it, because I am. I’m limited on […]
