Writing is an involved process. How do you keep that creative fire burning in the amphitheater we call our skull? When the spark is burning bright, it’s easy to build up whatever it is you’re writing, and do it well. What do we do then, when creativity flees from the mind? That happens frequently inContinue reading “Fostering Creativity”

For screen writers, it can become an overwhelming task to create a new, invigorating idea. Pressure is on all the time to make the next big thing.

I’ve loved cooking for a long time. When I was a young man, my mother taught me how to cook. She taught me the skills she’d learned from her mother, and grandmother, going back generations.

But there is so much more to Shinto than what can be put into a single sentence. I became fascinated with this religion a number of years ago,Continue reading “Understanding Shinto”

WHERE DO YOU START? Your first step on this journey toward accomplishing your goals is to make a Vision Board. Put a square on the wall as a frame for your goals. Use painters tape, cork board, anything. It doesn’t need to be fancy, just do it right away. Look at those goals in theContinue reading “Vision Boards: How to Find Success”

I rarely talk to people. People, the word makes my flesh crawl. They so rarely consider their thoughts, let alone their actions. So I sit, often alone, wherever I find myself.
