Journeys in the form of words
.....you were so eager to finish school and move on to this grand journey called life? You thought about how cool it would be to not have to go to History or English class, no more homework, no more tests, and no more having to sneak notes or hide your phone? Bet you weren't thinking …
My wife asked me a fun question this morning that I will share with you. I will also share my answer and would love to hear your answer and reasoning. "What is your favorite land in Disneyland?" She thought it would be Galaxy's Edge because I am a Star Wars fan. Hard to blame her …
If you could choose to forget any book or movie, and then re-read, re-watch, or re-listen to it again for the first time, what would you choose? Personally, I would have to go with re-listening to the audiobook Ready Player One, written by Ernest Cline, and read by Wil Wheaton. Ernest Cline is not my …
I have been listening to, and am nearly finished with, the audiobook First Things First: The Rules of Being a Warner, written by Kurt and Brenda Warner. I am not a religious person, but you don't have to be a religious person to see the values instilled by any religion. The values that they place …

I am trying so hard to enjoy the Trials of Apollo series by Rick Riordan. I absolutely love the concepts that he has employed in his past works. Unfortunately, it is starting to seem like another case of overmilking a cow. It would be one thing if there was some kind of reuse of old …
A journey of words began. Did the first sentence matter? The first paragraph? The first page? Chapter? Of course! The right words in the right order make the recipe for those perfect stories. Who decides what order is the right recipe? One of my favorite philosophies on books and writing is that all the right …
I wish that there was more time in every day. More time with family. More time for books. More time for movies. More time for entertainment. Is there more time? More time comes with how that time is managed. How that time is economized. It is all about the planning. Failing to plan is planning …
Currently reading the Trials of Apollo series by Rick Riordan. So far, interesting enough to continue, but definitely lacking when compared to the Percy Jackson or Gods of Olympus series. I am hoping that things will pick up further in the series, but it is starting to feel like he is trying to milk an …
