How Hard Is Life?

Really, life is easy. Even in olden days, life was easy. The simplest thing to do is to follow the tried-and-true path and do what everyone else is doing. And, that is what the majority do. The only problematic life happens when you’re smart and unique and decide to forge your own way. Then life […]

The Difficulties of Novels

Novel-reading has a dedicated audience numbering millions of people. But television and movies find fans in the billions. Books are hard to read and require a patience and imagination that few possess. A TV show is hypnotic, simple, and effective. Visual images like flashing light sabers in Star Wars or screaming jets in Top Gun: […]

Balls. Cool guys. Those two things would go a long ways to improving the general lot of fiction. The vast majority of writers are nerds who have no guts.
