My boss gave her team the holiday assignment of declaring the Island of Misfit Toys plaything with which each of us most identifies. That's some heavy stuff to ponder during these days of candles, cookies and EoY merrymaking. Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer is a stop-motion meditation on learning to love broken things, namely, ourselves. Or…

Trump.Not my first choice, let me tell you. If you have your shit together and house in order, whoever occupies the Oval Office will have minimal effect on your day-to-day. If you struggle to put food on the table, Trump will have minimal effect on your day-to-day. We are all plunged into a stupefying alternate…

Bran? Bran trippin'. Mysticism. Magic. Time is a wheel and we've been here/done this before. The thread that tells of the Children of the Forest and the First Men is more interesting than the stories we've been told so far. Brandon's journey speaks to me, and it's my favorite riff throughout ASoIaF. The Old Gods…

there are days when the book is best kept shut–just keep swimming—just keep swimming–and let others debate the definition of WIN. LOSS. reality is subjective. every dreamer is a champion and mediocrity is a !#@$%*& expletive. televise this. ready-set-tell me what you see. describe where it hurts. empires are built in the span of five…

I had so much fun brainstorming screenplay ideas for Twilight origin stories. Per the official rules, I submitted five 500-character outlines for consideration. Although I wasn't one of the 40 writers chosen, the experience was well worth the effort. Below are my screenplay pitches for Aro, Benjamin, Emmett, Garrett, and Huilen. If you would like…

cherry pie and cups of damn fine coffee. misty old growth and logging trucks. a great northern tale full of secrets and one-eyed jacks. mayhem only needs one arm to pin you down. here's a town with enough finger poppin', light flickerin' evil to cause a palpitation of the blackest heart. here's a town where…
