At 4 AM, my alarm unceremoniously summoned me to the world of the waking. As I massaged my eyes, willing my legs to come alive, I asked myself: “When you’re unemployed, isn’t every day a vacation day?”
I was going to indulge the writer in me, writing a protracted monologue about going on vacation, taking time [...]

I won’t try to speak for all writers, but sometimes I do think that story ideas are literally a dime a dozen.

I’m on a high, and there’s nothing more to it – listening to Duncan Sheik at Town Hall this past Thursday was definitely one of my year’s highlights.

Not too long ago, while in nostalgia’s grip, I went through some of my old college papers. You could say that it was a formative time for me – I was a young man let loose in a strange new school, with little but his wits and a dream to see him through four years [...]

Two weeks after unceremoniously losing my job, I can only say this: Being unemployed’s not as bad as I thought. You really ought to try it sometime.
Do I miss having a career path? You betcha. A promise of disposable income? Of course. I have bills to pay just like anyone else, and there are days [...]
