Forget Money. Write For Fun. Write To Inspire. Write To Change The World.
Laughter is the best stress reliever. But how can someone initiate laughter? And how can you keep the stem of this laughter from turning into procrastination? I often think that I am doing myself a favor by simply watching a sitcom and laughing. After all, laughing releases endorphins to make you feel better, it acts [...]
Does writing keep you out of shape? It does for me. I wouldn’t say I’m pudgy, but I used to be a pretty good athlete with very little fat on my body. Since I graduated from college, started my marketing career, then moved onto writing, I noticed one big change: I don’t push myself physically [...]
My personal life often conflicts with my writing. My sister asks me to babysit my niece, my mom guilt trips me into tearing out cabinets for lake house renovations and my girlfriend sighs when I say I can’t go to a movie because I’m writing at 8:00pm. What I need is separation. Separation from the [...]

My girlfriend and I possess many differences. However, one of our most petty of differences is the one that makes me the most frustrated.
