If I get stuck, I accept that it's either because I'm not in the right frame of mind to be writing, or because I haven't prepared sufficiently for what I am working on. So, I either walk away and come back to it later, or do some research. Either way, when I get back to it the "block" is gone.(less)

For many, it somehow becomes easier to adhe Read more of this blog post »

“Am I inconsequential to it all, a random, forgettable moment in your delicate, pastel existence?”
John Casey, Raw Thoughts

“Even when dreaming I'm falling so fast, then waking last-second, eyes wide. And feeling, after the terror has passed, a little emptier inside.”
John Casey, Raw Thoughts

“Sometimes it's better to beat a dead horse than to worry about whether or not it might recover.”
John Casey, Devolution

“Even the happiest fall prey to the plastic, the vacuous virtual. And some little voice keeps whispering to us 'There’s something wrong here.”
John Casey, Raw Thoughts

“If you’ve lost everything, find yourself. If you haven’t, find yourself anyway.”
John Casey, Raw Thoughts

“Sometimes it's better to beat a dead horse than to worry about whether or not it might recover.”
John Casey, Devolution

“I'll carve a special little niche, safe from the perils of life, where I can make a place for hope. First, I need to find a knife.”
John Casey, Raw Thoughts

“I just don't have time for all this worthless chatter. I'm apathetic, because it doesn't matter.”
John Casey, Raw Thoughts
