Mental Purgatory

So this is Phase 1 of my master plan to one day make millions. The best part? It’s simple. Despite that, it’s something most people don’t know about and so, I figured I would do the service here to try and get everyone in the know. The trick is reward checking accounts.
What’s so cool about [...]

Day 4 and we’re not slowing down! The title today is reminiscent of Hurricane Carter’s book The Sixteenth Round: From Number 1 Contender To #45472. However, the story itself is more along the lines of V for Vendetta, George Orwell’s 1984 or Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaiden’s Tale. My idea for this story is a narrative [...]

In an attempt to move away from the whole angels theme, for day three I thought I would turn it back to a more old school theme I’d like to play with. I’ve always been interested in doing a historical piece that could also serve as educational, and so, thought it would be interesting to [...]

Day two and we’re dealing with another one of my stable story ideas. I’ve been jotting ideas here and there and I’ve got a backlog of 14 right now, so the first few days of this should be pretty easy. This story idea is very much in the vein of It’s A Wonderful Life, with [...]

The first idea I’m going to put out is one I’ve been playing with for a while, and have probably documented here. The story would likely be a combination of Juno, City of Angels, and A Beautiful Mind.
My proposed premise for the story is of a teenage girl who finds herself pregnant. She struggles with [...]

So I stumbled upon this site a while back called NaNoWriMo.org which basically stands for “National Novel Writing Month.” The purpose of the site/organization is to help get writers to finish a novel. To do this, writers are tasked with starting a novel on November 1st and finishing it by November 30th. You can’t start [...]

As I prepare to move to Norwalk, CT, I’m slowly tackling all the burdens of moving. Recently, I’ve been dealing with the Cable/Internet services, which has been… well… a pain in the ass. So I figured I would start my moving thoughts with these gripes.

Unfortunately, there’s no getting around this one. I live and breathe [...]

I recently reread Stephen Chbosky’s Perks of Being a Wallflower. I emphasize the reread part because most books, upon a second reading, are good, but they’re like visiting an old friend you haven’t seen in a long time – A lot is missing from the experience but you have a great time because it [...]

So lately I’ve been running high on emotion what with graduating from school and starting life anew and all that hooplah. So laying out in the grass last night, I started writing and saw that the narrative was really getting caught up in that emotion. With this in mind, I started thinking of ways I [...]

So I’ve been away for a while, largely because I was taking care of this whole graduation from college thing. Apparently, graduating, celebrating graduation, and moving home/moving family takes a lot more time than I’d expected it too. Still, I have proof that this time has been put to good use.

Over the next few weeks, [...]
