Happy Holidays from your local burnt out writer
This time last year I was on a high. I'd just started sharing my work again, and while I hadn't written anything new yet, I was flooded with ideas and bringing old pieces back to live.

The Fire Next Door
For someone born just past the middle bit of the last century, I find myself managing this 21st-century work world with a certain amount of confidence that’s mostly bravado (just between us). So after a short lull while one of the bosses was traveling I wasn’t completely surprised by the sudden flurry of emails that hit my account late this afternoon.

The Psychiatric Ward and Vocal
This piece marks a milestone: 100 articles. 100 different snapshots of my mind. From horror short stories to silly items about dogs to explorations of why I believe The Beatles are the greatest musicians who have ever existed to poems I would never have dreamed of writing.

Is anybody out there?
Why do we write? Why do we do anything? What is the point? Does anyone even care? I used to think it mattered. What I did. What I said. What I contributed to society.

Am I In A Different Universe Right Now?
