  • A New Year, A New Effort.

    A New Year, A New Effort.

    I know, I know. Time is a man-made construct that ultimately doesn’t matter much in the grand scheme of things, but we, as humans, have created methods of breaking down the vastness of reality into little chunks that make it far more manageable and comprehensible. There’s always a part of me that wonders why it’s…

  • 100 Rejections in a Year.

    100 Rejections in a Year.

    Several years ago, I came across the idea of aiming to get 100 Rejections in a Year (probably not due to this article specifically, but this one is a good reference point all the same), and it really struck a chord with me. Not only because I believe one of the best tool a writer…

  • Monday Morning Reset [09/04].

    It appears that it’ll be a chilly Labor Day out here by Chicago, which is fine by me, as I’ll be working today, anyway (gotta get that sweet, sweet holiday pay). Yesterday was gorgeous, though, the perfect day to finally make it out to one of my favorite places ever, the Bristol Renaissance Faire, right…

  • Monday Morning Reset (On a Tuesday) [08/29].

    I had every intention in the world of getting a post up yesterday. I had the whole day off, so I figured there was no excuse to not get it finished, but, it would seem, my computer had different ideas. When I bought this laptop about a year ago, I bought it because it was…

  • Monday Morning Reset [08/21].

    Have you ever had a week that just sort of feels like a bust? I know I’m my own harshest critic, but I definitely feel like I’ve had one of those weeks. It really wasn’t all that bad, though, which is why I do these Monday reset posts. It forces me to look at empirical…

  • Monday Morning Reset [08/07].

    Well, I’m about to enter the second half of my long eight-day work streak, so the past four days have been a little bit of a blur (having a shark-related “Big Damn Event” in Fandom High didn’t help, either). So things have been a little whirlwindy for me this past week, and it’s still a…

  • Monday Morning Reset [07/31].

    Tomorrow is August. That’s so crazy to me, how did we get here so fast? But time is funny like that, especially when you start living your life with a pretty set routine day to day, so that it all just kind of blurs by you like cars on the highway. August is pretty big…

  • An Interview with Max D. Stanton [WUR 2016].

    We’re a bit late in the month for this (I feel like I’ve said that a lot this year…oh well!), but I am very pleased to have had the chance to finally “sit down” with July’s featured author, Max D. Stanton, author of this month’s Featured Story from the World Unknown Review Volume III, “The…

  • Monday Morning Reset (on a Tuesday) [07/25].

    Man, it’s been an interesting week, if you couldn’t tell by the fact that my usual Monday Morning Reset post didn’t actually go up yesterday. I had actually forgotten that it was Monday, while actively knowing perfectly well it was Monday. It was weird, but, in my defense, last week was definitely a little more…

  • Wakey, Wakey!

    So, I’m weirdly addicted to a lot dumb-ass lifestyle article websites like Refinery29 and domino, which I know are pretty much a big waste of my time. Every once in a while, though, something really interesting or inspiring pops up, and I guess that’s why I do it. And the other night, as I was…
