Hello, everyone, who may or may not actually read my blog! I have chosen a prompt for the first installment of my writing prompt challenge. I know that I was supposed to pick one a week back, but the flu decided that I would instead be crippled on my couch for a few days (and, … Continue reading
Come protest, you animal activists! Shake your heads in disgust, hipsters. And roll your eyes, past me. My wife and I have done something, which a lot of people call demeaning, pointless and crass: We dressed up our cat for Christmas. More specifically, we dressed him up as a reindeer astronaut, took a picture and … Continue reading
So, in the spirit of staying in a fiction state of mind, I’d like to write short, most likely silly, pieces on this blog. But I don’t want to start from a place where I have to come up with concepts, themes, worlds etc. Already have plenty of script ideas for that. What I was … Continue reading
There is one undeniable truth that I learned during the recent holidays. No. It is not goodwill towards all. It is not how to deck any halls, and nor is it that seeing family and friends is more important than locking myself away to watch the Dr. Who Christmas special.

I read today that folks are flocking to a small town in France to seek shelter. Many believe that the upside down mountain, which is the backdrop of the town, … Continue reading
Sharpen your wooden stakes. Polish those silver bullets under the glow of a full moon. Ready your axes and blowtorches, but please-seriously, please- do not actually use any of these weapons. You aren’t under attack. Those vampires, werewolves and Lady Gagas you see mean that it’s finally Halloween! Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Listen, I know. It’s … Continue reading
It should come as no surprise that for years I had to utter the words, “Pick up or delivery?” I am a writer after all. I know it’s cliché- the “poor writer.” But it’s for a reason. Whether it’s screenwriting, play writing, essaying, blogging, journalism or working on a novel, writing is a hard industry … Continue reading
I wish there was a petition that needed 10,000 handwritten names to end electronic signatures. I would be the first one to sign, and probably the next 9,999, too. With the ability to electronically sign everything nowadays, I fear I need to write down my inked-signature as much as possible before there’s no need for … Continue reading
