That space between happiness and utter devastation.

It’s that space where napping makes sense, but makes you feel worthless. Where your profile gets no views and the latest episode of your favorite show hasn’t yet posted. It’s the box of easy little microwave popcorn bags in the cupboard, with nothing inside. That cool new shirt you ordered…

Ink

Ink was her name, at least that’s what she told me. I wanted to hold her hand as we walked down the alley, so close to each other I could feel her hair brush against my cheek. In the bar, I could barely hear her as she invited me out…

That Funeral That One Time

Yesterday I attended a funeral. It wasn’t someone I was close to or had even ever met, which may have given me a unique perspective or an expectation to avoid awkwardness and people watch from afar. What I discovered is that even at a moment of true loss, there is…

The Pressure to be a Successful Writer

The thoughts of a marginally successful writer — At my day job I make over six figures. I have worked on award winning projects and am seen as a knowledge expert in many different areas. As a writer, I have spoken to classes and lead workshops. I have self-published three books and have written four more. To the…

Paul

A short story — He had enjoyed ten years of being totally irresponsible, living at home with his boring mother. She wasn’t always boring, but as she approached her seventies and without a husband at home to occupy her, she was as dull as you could get. Complacency was something he had grown accustomed…

Tortured Artists and Their Tortured Friends

discovering you’re not alone in your journey to be a success — The other night I found myself in a strange city with a musician and an actor. Both of which arguably have found more success than I have had as a writer. None of us had “hit it big”, but all of us were still toiling away at our craft. It…

The Floor is Never Clean

and no one is really to blame — This is my call to all you fellow humans out there. This isn’t going to come as a shock to anyone, but life is hard. I mean really hard. And most of us are doing our best. But what if that just isn’t good enough? Kids, pets, jobs, friends, family…

Living with Crooked and Misshapen Teeth

Don’t judge a book by its cover — http://gf.me/u/y24twa I’m turning 40 years old this year, and this is what my teeth look like. It’s something that has always been a source of anguish for me, spawning insecurity, anxiety and a lack of self-confidence. I have never fully shared how this has affected my life. But I would like…
