Father, husband, writer, trying to make sense of the world through stories. Too many favorite genres to limit writing to just one. 😀

How to write: Stop not writing. Keep your butt in the chair. Write really bad small sections of the whole—passages, moments, episodes, memories—til you have an incredibly shitty 1st draft. Then take out the boring parts, the lies and pretensions. Then write a better 2nd draft.

My kids watched old "Whose Line Is It Anyway" episodes with me today. Now they're playing the "Questions Only" game in the living room.

My 5-year-old daughter just farted on my lap.
Me: Eww! Why'd you fart on me?!
Her: (shrugs) I'm just a weird girl.
Fatherhood is rarely boring...

It may not solve all of the world’s problems, but I think we can all agree that having more bakeries, libraries, museums, and bookstores would be an important first step.

Listening to Andry Serkis (of Gollum fame) read the whole "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy" on Audible is such a giant dopamine hit. The man is a voice-acting goldmine!

I challenge anyone who asserts that The Princess Bride isn’t one of the greatest films ever made.

Is "enthusiastically" an appropriate answer when someone asks how I take my coffee?

Dogs on a walk look so happy. Some look like they're working and they're really proud of the job they're doing, some look like they just got out of work and they're off snowboarding for the weekend, and some look like they just got engaged and they're still too emotional to speak.

A story that begins with a corpse on the floor is a mystery. A story that ends with a corpse on the floor is a tragedy. A story that begins with a floor on a corpse is The Wizard of Oz.

Libraries matter more than ever now! They embody a beautiful & brilliant idea that we must never stop defending. The idea that knowledge is free & belongs to EVERYONE. We all need to support our libraries & librarians - especially when people seek to ban books & free thinking. #libraries #books
