What Happens After the Last Word
Back on November 13th, in The Novel that Snarled Back, I wrote about stepping into the void… about what happens when you commit to something that might consume you if you’re not careful. It was half warning, half bravado. I knew what I was getting into… or at least I thought I did…
It’s so quiet.
I am drifting and feeling bereft. No self-imposed deadlines. No curious parsing or shifting or tweaking Read more of this blog post »

"Disclaimer: I read this book live on stream with the author's full permission, but this review reflects my honest, unfiltered thoughts. No compensation or bias influenced my opinion.

“If you want answers, fine. But if you want truth, go sit in a place where you can hear yourself breathe.”
― The Flow: A Hedonist's Guide to Buddhism, Meditation and Travels in Thailand

“Because elephants are huge. And strong. And far more agile than you’d expect. Majestic, yes. Gentle, often. But also fully capable of turning you into a lurid smear if startled or annoyed. And while I’m sure there are worse ways to go than being squashed by an elephant in the jungles of northern Thailand, I can’t think of many that would be quite as memorable for your grieving friends. “Oh, you didn’t hear? Yeah - Larry zigged when he should’ve zagged. Tragic. But what a way to go, huh? Mustard on that Hebrew National?”
