Dark, soulful tales that haunt long after the last page.
The wifey and I watched the film adaptation of Stephen King’s Pet Sematary again last night. I hadn’t seen it in a while, but I remember having particular feelings about it. Watching it again only reaffirmed what I recalled from my first couple of viewings. In other words, Eh. I didn’t like the novel the first…
I almost can’t believe it’s been nearly a month and a half since I posted anything here. But, not a lot has happened. Despite my best efforts, school work comes home with me and eats up almost all my time. Having four sections of AP English means lots of writing assignments to grade. I haven’t written…

Kim went up in the attic for something else tonight and found a box I’ve been looking for on and off for several years. Inside are three photo albums. One of them is full of baby pictures of our oldest son. It’s hard to believe how much he’s changed! Another is the album I kept…

Well, it was time to report back to work last week. Not just the as-needed excursions I’d been making off and on all summer, but back to school for real. Students return this coming Thursday. I have a pretty sweet schedule this year, with two sections of AP Language, two sections of AP Literature, and two…

A writer has to have thick skin. Not the kind nightly applications of Lubriderm will help. I mean the kind that is like armor against the pointy arrows of rejection. Sometimes it seems those arrows are fired randomly, while other times it seems the editor is taking careful aim at your self esteem. That usually…
