One reason Gen Y’s getting memory-holed is because their upbringing isn’t compatible with the current narrative. They’re being silenced off of social media since their childhood memories don’t match the hate-fueled rhetoric that’s being pumped out today. They were taught from an early age to ignore petty differences and embrace world culture. They were taughtContinue reading “Gen Y’s Problem (and Their Solution)”

So here we are, 2022. Most of our biggest directors are still Boomers, such as… James Cameron Ron Howard Chris Colombus Frank Darabont Kathryn Bigelow Gus Van Sant Robert Zemeckis Peter Jackson Michael Moore David Lynch Stephen Spielberg Sylvester Stallone Ron Underwood Oliver Stone Sam Raimi By no means is that an exhaustive list. TheseContinue reading “The Case For Gen Y”

Many try to pigeonhole generations by broadly applying labels to them, and they often wind up with something like this: (By birth year in the United States)The Greatest Generation: 1905-1924The Silent Generation: 1925-1945The Baby Boomers: 1946-1964Gen X: 1965-1984Gen Y/Millennials: 1985-2004Gen Z: 2005-2022 As one would expect, there’s a lot of problems with this model, andContinue reading “Pigeonholing Gen Y”

(scroll down for writing sample) Fiction and non-fiction require two very different skillsets. There are plenty of excellent bloggers who are no good at writing fiction and there are plenty of world-class fiction writers who can’t seem to come across as relatable on any form of social media no matter how hard they try. OfContinue reading “A Sample of My Work”

Moving the contents of an entire house without the help of a moving company is something I wouldn’t wish on the worst of my enemies. Even after getting settled into our new domicile, my muscles still ache. As the old house was emptied, saying goodbye grew easier. Once you strip all the personality by removingContinue reading “Farewell, Tree”

I took an interest in Kate Hepburn when I was in eighth grade. Not because of her movie or theater roles, but because I heard she took cold showers. Something about that fascinated me, so I decided to give it a try. For some reason I continued the practice from eighth grade right through sophomoreContinue reading “Forged By Cold”

There are many ways to grow and prepare Lion’s Mane. Since the market is unregulated, just blind-buying a bottle of the stuff doesn’t guarantee a thing. For example it can be grown in sawdust, harvested from trees, grown in water, or even grown on a grain substrate. You’ll see sellers claim that growing it inContinue reading “The Brainhacking Saga Continues”

2021 was a mixed bag for me but, writing-wise, it was good. I completed my longest work of fiction yet. I also ghost-edited two novels (practically re-wrote one of them). And for the first time in my life, I got paid professionally. Can’t forget that I also earned my Bachelor’s degree (which I thought wouldContinue reading “Welcome to the New Year!”

Welcome to the nootropics rabbit-hole. As you know, I love me some rabbit-holes, and this subject is no exception. Native to North America, Europe, and Souteast Asia, Lion’s Mane is a mushroom. It’s a nootropic. And actually, I hear it tastes a lot like lobster, so much so that some people fry it up withContinue reading “An Experiment”

The obvious next step on this strange journey is to seek out ADHD-diagnosed writers and find out how they’re doing it. After all, if they can work past these symptoms, so can I. I’ve already found ways to diminish most of the symptoms I experience. I’ve got workarounds for my workarounds that have helped meContinue reading “How Do ADHD Writers Do It?”
