If you blog you have to learn this: You can please everyone none of the time


This is one of the most painful realizations that bloggers inevitably have. It descends on you like a bat out of hell (as a side note: has anyone ever witnessed such?) when only… Read More

The B-side

Why don’t I have more followers?

How to start a Tradition


If you knew me 10 years ago and told me tradition was a good thing I would have laughed at you. Traditions were for the mindless, the creatively challenged, etc. What my pre-maturely… Read More

This idea will change the world…if I only did something with it.


I wonder if I will have one. I wonder if I’ve had one. Could I have an idea that will change the world? Of course I assume this idea will somehow be pregnant… Read More

Three ways I am writing more efficiently
