Decades later Pete would be sitting in a more mild version of a Goon Cave. Not the kind a goon would be embarrassed by. In fact most people wouldn't consider it a Goon Cave and instead a pedestrian Man Cave. It was dark and there were a few screens and...

Over Seven Billion Bellies

I've long thought that the best business to own as a crime lord is a high quality restaurant. Not the gaudy kind that attracts the upper echelon for prestige reasons, but a family oriented one with traditional and experimental recipes to tie generations together.

Primary benefit with this setup is that...

200 Words a Day
How I found 200WAD

I'm grateful that 200WAD is closing in the winter. If it were warm and sunny I would feel less sentimental. This is because this cold, this snow, and these early nights take me back to my feelings at the close of 2018, which had been for me a bad year.

I...

200 Words a Day
My Feelings when Viewing my Earliest Posts

I'm planning to write a script to let 200WAD writers import their old posts onto here. I think it would make for a good portal to nostalgia for us old timers. To get a hit of this nostalgia myself, I went over there to read some of my earliest posts...

Writing Consistently, in whatever Form, Leaks Everywhere.

You don't have to be writing a novel or formal essays to improve your writing. Writing every day about whichever topics you like is enough to exercise the writing muscle.

Awards and Acting like I'm Above them

Learned yesterday that my dad was awarded MVP this year for his company. Usually I frown upon awards. I'm usually be the first to declare that these things don't matter, but as I read the company email my mom forwarded me containing his coworkers' comments I couldn't help but smile...

Because of COVID I stopped going out to eat with friends as a regular thing. In fact, I stopped even going out to eat or getting take out at all. I can't remember the last time I didn't cook my own meal. 

This has significantly improved the way I spend time...

Serverless?

I'm suffering a revival of decision paralysis. My dilemma: to go serverless or continue running my own machines/

When it comes to making software for the web, the part I fear most is server management. It can seed in me deep anxiety, low in my gut even while on vacation...

How do you Free-Write

Free-writing is about writing to learn and explore. It's not something we do when we already have figured out out precisely what we will write about.

Write without an image of how the finished piece should like.Word choices, spelling, grammar. None of these matter in this mode because thes are conventions...

What is Free-Writing?

Even if a person hasn't written in ten years they'll have a catalog of thoughts and ideas that they carry around with them: things they're ready to declare as undeniable truths. But once it comes down to actually distilling these into an effective, comprehensible message it becomes clear how difficult...

Arriving too Soon

Been discussing with my penpal why I can never finish a short story. He and I agree that we approach writing in two phases. First we free-write to explore the idea of the story then we scoped-write to turn it all into a readable piece. 

I admitted that I don't allow...
