Ten years ago I stopped writing fiction. That’s what I chose to remember. But I found old notebooks. Paragraphs of little stories, mix matched and obviously done for fun and not profit. To pass the time. I don’t think I stopped writing anymore. I think I stopped wanting to write, but I never stopped wriitng Continue reading

I’ve Taken Up Broth and Stock Making as a Hobby Lately
What is it about the idea of cooking laying hen/spent hen/mature chicken that appeals to both the cook and the animal lover in me? The economics enthusiast in me? The environmentally consciousness in me? A chicken lays eggs for up to two years. For the first year they lay an egg a day, three hundred … Continue reading

Two Untapped Markets
You know what’s a tragically untapped market? Post-Apocalypse luxuries. I know that there are thousands of paranoid super prepared survivalists who would spend money on health packs, bunkers, knives, weapons, and medicine for even the most unlikely of theoretical apocalypses.

Rainbow of the Unfinished
I look at all the stories I’ve begun, all the worlds I’ve never finished. So many creatures, so many cities, so many fantastic continents floating in space. No two alike, no two made by the same part of me. For some of these, the man who began creating them is no longer around. Continue reading
