Brian Raif was born near Houston, TX, and the smog somehow gifted him with radioactive powers. As a result, Brian and his family had to move to an Air Force base in Colorado shortly after his birth, until he could come to control his super human abilities. Brian eventually came home to Texas with his family, but not until after The Blizzard of 1982, the creation of the Chicken McNugget, President Reagan’s ban on chemical weapons, the discovery of the Titanic wreckage, and the maiden voyage of shuttle Atlantis. Brian will neither confirm nor deny his involvement in any of these events.

The rest of Brian’s youth appears to be normal. Despite a suspicious amount of moves (possibly to prevent major natural disasters), no evidence of any superhum ...more

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Brian Raif I don’t believe writer’s block actually exists.

Yes, you are going to have a hard time writing some days, and sometimes you may not do your best work. But, if you’re attempting to become a writer for an audience, it is your duty to provide a service to your readers. A systems administrator, a surgeon, a business manager, or an emergency services professionals all have days where their job is harder to do because they don’t feel inspired to do it. It is commonly called Monday. They pull up their boot straps and get to work.

The best advice I can give you for combating what you’re calling writer’s block is to keep writing. You don’t have writer’s block, you creative mind is sore from being over worked and under trained. Keep writing. It will get easier.(less)

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Brian Raif Everyone is going to tell you this one and you’re going to roll your eyes every time you hear it: The best piece of advice I can give you is to write.…moreEveryone is going to tell you this one and you’re going to roll your eyes every time you hear it: The best piece of advice I can give you is to write. Don’t talk or read about writing. If you spend a day without writing you have failed at being a writer that day. Any day you do write, YOU’VE SUCCEEDED! Now, as soon as you’re done rolling your eyes, ask yourself one question: Have you written anything today?(less)

My Bad

So, I’ve been trying to think of the best way to say this for a couple of weeks now and the best thing I can manage is…

I could blame my near complete disappearance on a few things, but I don’t want to. I dropped the ball and that’s my fault. As spring starts to pick up and I start to get creative, I wonder if I may suffer form some from of creative SAD. Being that I’ve come out of wh
