Writer

I’ve been a writer since childhood, but never put much effort into it. The worlds in my head were mine. I never had a desire to show them to anyone else, until now.

Why do I call myself a Jack of All Trades?

I’m actually a Jack of All Trades, Master of None, and I’m kind of proud of it. If you wasted your time getting to know me, sorry about that. I’m not an organized network rack with color coded and labeled wires, more like a gigantic squirming pile of earthworms. My young life was hard, not […]

Do I listen to Music when I’m Writing?

There are two different kinds of writing in my world, code and prose, and music plays a huge role in them. I’m somewhat good at both, but will never achieve expert status in either since my chaotic mind keeps me involved in about a billion different ventures. My musical tastes aren’t very diverse. The louder,

I’m available for contract work in the Jacksonville area.

I live on the Southern edge of Jacksonville Florida, just north of Saint Augustine. If you’re in the area and looking for a trustworthy, technology obsessed software developer for your project, I’m someone you should talk to. Nothing is too ambitious or too small for my consideration. I’ve even helped a few startups with their

Are Authors Competitors?

Yes, authors are competitors. Hmm… let’s think about this for a moment. The average reading time per capita (in America), per day, is 15 minutes, and this number is dropping every year. I will assume 5% of the US population reads, lol. This gives us about 17,000,000 readers, or 4,250,000 hours of reading per day.

Were are the men readers?

Since no one seems to have a definitive answer as to why men don’t read as much as they used to, I think I’ll throw in my two cents. No, it’s not television or movies… those things are absolutely terrible, especially lately. It’s not the internet, for the most part, or porn either. The most

Pandering

The only way to make a living being an author in modern times is by pandering to the largest audience in your chosen genre. Do you want to make a living and be famous? Well, then you’re going to have to churn out books every few months, or pay huge social media influencers to claim

Make-Believe Multiverse of Reality.

My life is a make-believe multiverse of reality. I just invent stuff as I go along. This isn’t only about writing, but almost every aspect of my existence. I am a character, sometimes hapless, in an endless stream of comedy, drama, action, and romance stories. I live without fear of consequences when it pertains to

I’m not a normal writer

I’m an adequate writer, at best. My ideas are weird, not quirky like other people consider weird, like nihilistic, dark, unforgiving weird. Everything I write has a sturdy foot planted in the remorseless lottery of natural selection. You may think you’re a nature lover, but when you point at a pretty flower, my brain wonders

Rabbit Hole

Rabbit Hole is a descriptive, imagination inspiring term used to describe most of what I waste time on every day. When I get a taste of new information, I jump feet first into the hole and follow every winding tunnel of knowledge. Those tunnels almost always have their own smaller tunnels, and I follow them

WIP or Work In Progress

WIP is a standard acronym used by authors and artists to indicate a book, or work or art, is an ongoing project. It stands for Work in Progress, or Work in Process. It’s usually presented as a hashtag on social media sites (#WIP). Me and my WIP(s) Occasionally, I’ll post inane, rambling walls of text
