So, I took a bit of a detour in my writing. I had a title pop into my head, “Life 2.0.” As soon as the title started rattling around in my brain, I knew it would be a self-help book. Now, I’m not a self-help guru. My chosen genres are fantasy and science fiction. I’m … Continue reading My Latest Project: Life 2.0

Two Mistakes in Ready Player One (the movie) Only an Editor Would Notice
So, I didn’t get around to watching Ready Player One in the theaters. My first experience with it was renting it on HBO via Amazon Prime. After I’d watched it (twice), I immediately went out to the store and bought the DVD. Yes, I love this movie. Not only am I amazed at the … Continue reading Two Mistakes in Ready Player One (the movie) Only an Editor Would Notice
Life’s Little Alphabet – ‘J’ is for Joy
Have you ever heard someone say that this thing or that thing, or doing this activity or that one, gives them joy? Would it surprise you very much to know that, technically, they’re wrong?

Life’s Little Alphabet – ‘I’ is for Imagine
Albert Einstein once said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Life’s Little Alphabet – ‘G’ is for Gratitude
It just seems right that “gratitude” should rhyme with “attitude” since they almost always go hand in hand. They’re like BFFs. Where you find one, the other is almost sure to follow.

Life’s Little Alphabet – ‘F’ is for Forgive
Mahatma Gandi once said, “The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.” Now, when he said this, he wasn’t insulting people who find it hard to forgive others; he was making a commentary on how hard true forgiveness really is. In fact, forgiving someone who has hurt you or wronged you … Continue reading Life’s Little Alphabet – ‘F’ is for Forgive
Life’s Little Alphabet – ‘E’ is for Effort
When our children were growing up, we always told them, “We don’t expect you to be the best, but we do expect you to try your best.” Now, why would we tell them we didn’t expect them to be the best? Didn’t we want them to excel and succeed? Of course we did. But we … Continue reading Life’s Little Alphabet – ‘E’ is for Effort
