Blog Posts

I have a lot of thoughts and often have trouble keeping them to myself. Sometimes they get posted on social media, but that's not always the correct forum. I don't always have time to post a lot here, but I can promise that it will always be tied to writing or publishing, and it will always be honest.

I’ve been thinking again about life, the universe, and everything. I’m closer to 50 than not, and it’s only natural to think about what was or could have been as you approach another milestone. I was reminded of an old blog post I made on another site years ago, and thought about it again this […]
