Religion in Writing

I had no idea, when I started writing, that so many people who are writers identify themselves as Christians, especially in their writing (as opposed to, say, mentioning it in passing on the “About” page).

Make Your Enemy Your Protagonist

You know those cartoons with the author at the book signing and the parents saying something like, “We’re sorry, but can you take us out of the book?”  Or perhaps the cartoons/signs/shirts that say something akin to, “Do not disturb the author or he’ll put you in the next book and kill you off.”

Aren’t we going light on these folks?

The Bicyclist & The Bird

I had to go to the grocery store. Nothing unusual there. I mean, I buy produce on a fairly regular basis. BUT… that day I needed lots of different stuff. So, instead of going to the local grocery store, I schlepped out to the local Wegmans. If you aren’t familiar with Wegmans stores, think what you would have if your regular grocery store had gotten hold of steroids before it hit puberty. Then, add a sushi bar, mini pizzeria, kosher deli, dessert bar, and cross it with Whole Foods. That’s Wegmans.

I’m Not Dead

This is my first time actually on my own blog in several weeks.

First, I’d like to note that I’m not dead (yet).  I didn’t suffer a horrible accident.

No.  Just life.  It caught up with me.
