I tend to have the opposite problem. There is always a project I want to work on for which I cannot find the time.

I recommend staying so busy in your life that you hardly have the time to write, then when you finally get a chance to make something, you grab the opportunity with both hands and really make the hell out of it. (less)

Triumph of Mediocrity

Is it just me, or do the Goodreads Choice Awards always seem like the dullest collection of middling pablum? I am sure there are some good ones in there, but they sure struggle to make any of them sound interesting. I guess James sounds interesting. I will probably read that eventually. And Ministry of Time. It's always nice when one of the Enger brothers puts out a book. But as a whole? Feels lik Read more of this blog post »

The Saturday Night Ghost Club by Craig Davidson
"Oof.

I really, really wanted to like this. The Saturday Night Ghost Club seemed like a perfect nostalgic read reminiscent of Stephen King and Stranger Things, but I walked away from this book feeling as if it lacked plot, character development, and at" Read more of this review »

"Well, I am clearly missing the magic everyone else sees in this book. I found it incredibly boring, disjointed, and poorly written. The sentence structure was bizarre at many points and seemed quite basic and pedestrian. I found the nostalgia annoyin" Read more of this review »

C.G. Jung
“People will do anything, no matter how absurd, to avoid facing their own souls.”
Carl Gustav Jung

Toni Morrison
“If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.”
Toni Morrison

Sam Harris
“In fact, "atheism" is a term that should not even exist. No one ever needs to identify himself as a "non-astrologer" or a "non-alchemist." We do not have words for people who doubt that Elvis is still alive or that aliens have traversed the galaxy only to molest ranchers and their cattle. Atheism is nothing more than the noises reasonable people make in the presence of unjustified religious beliefs.”
Sam Harris, Letter to a Christian Nation

C.G. Jung
“When an inner situation is not made conscious it appears outside as fate.”
Carl Gustav Jung

Ray Bradbury
“You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.”
