Random Meanderings

This blog...way back when....used to be called Radom Meanderings.  It was a place where I could let my proverbial hair down and spout any old bullshit that happened to bypass the filter between my brain and my mouth.I'm going to be honest, I've had some really good bourbon and whiskey tonight.  So this Christmas edition …

Hey – What’s Going On?

I think I'm a little crazy.Sometimes I fall down the rabbit hole of amazing televised dramas. Last year a sleeper of a brilliant show called Sense8 hit Netflix and I was hooked. The Wachowski's and JM Straczynki teamed up for a 12 episode mind-fuck that honestly affected me deeper than anything since the first Matrix movie …

The Muse and the Verse

It's funny, but I've considered my self a poet long before I considered myself a writer. I know it seems redundant, but in my brain, somehow it was (and still is) a separate thing.  Like all poets are writers, but not all writers are poets.  But that's not entirely what today's lunchtime bloggy blog is …

My Writer Brain

I used to think I was crazy.I still might be, truth be told. But the difference now, I don't think I am.I can't remember how far back writer's brain goes, but it's been with me for a while.  I only quite recently identified it as my 'writer brain.'  Part of that, I'm sure, is because …

There is NOTHING closeted about it. And what's up with all the …

Stop Looking For the Big Moment

This started as a Facebook post, but I found it getting quite lengthy in my mind before I even started typing.So, here we are. Another bloggy blog for your night capping late night finishing off that bottle of moscato (or in my case Redd's Wicked Blood Orange) before passing out-I mean going to bed-getting up …

Dear Future Todd – Bookmark This

Dear Future Todd,Hi, it's me. Well,  you. That is to say, us.I'm not sure when you're going to be reading this. If you listened to yourself (that is to say, me) then you've bookmarked this or copied it off somewhere for periodic review on  your rise to the literary cosmos.I want to paint a picture …

Probably Not The Last

I think I might have hinted (or said outright) on Facebook earlier tonight that there are probably a couple of more posts left in me about my experiences this year participating in the National Novel Writing Month.Feel free to tune out now if you must. I won't take it personally. I know that I tend …
