    21 April 2016

  • The Weighty Issue of Dieting Alone

    25 April 2016

    I am not usually much of a joiner as I generally like the sound of my own voice when it comes to taking free advice. Yeah, I know there are those occasions I'll get it wrong, but I figure then I won't be angry with anyone but myself. I won't lose friends...

  • Finding A Voice In All The Chaos

    06 June 2016

    No writer wants to feel like their words have dried up inside their head. It's just as frustrating to search for a good idea that can become the genesis of a great story. Writing, after all, is not just a job, but rather it's a calling. Like any vocation,...

  • What Dogs Know About Us

    10 June 2016

    Let's get one thing straight from the beginning; no one owns a dog. The human component of the equation, dog plus man, has merely provided the domicile and physical needs to his canine companion. This, in and of itself, does not make you an owner of another...
