A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…  Master Yoda made his way down the hall, tired after a long day of teaching the younglings and padawans. The sun was low on the horizon, casting its deep, orange light across the walkway and creating long shadows along the corridor. As he turned to […]

The Opposite of Writer’s Block – Writer’s Overflow? Writer’s Flood?

June 25, 2012

Yeah, “In Dreams” is a Movie Title. Also, Announcements :D

The Importance of Writing Every Day

April 12, 2012

I don’t care if you’re a journalist, an author, a poet, a blogger, or simply a wannabe (don’t worry, we all start as wannabes), you should write every single day. Every single day. In fact, writing every day is so important that I’d go so far as to say every one should write every day, […]
