I’m a writer. And what do writers do? We write, of course. Most of what we scribble will never see the light of day. And for good reason. Stephen King (and many others, I’m sure) said that your first million words are just practice. Badly spelled, poorly alliterated, cringe-worthy drivel that you wouldn’t wish upon [...]
I started doing this thing. Many years ago I started writing down every book I read. This was driven by: My passionate love of lists. A belief that a really long list of books I had some relation to would make me look cool. A (relatively reasonable) fear that over time I would forget what [...]
I am very impressionable. Seriously. My subconscious is a sponge. A super porous, extra absorbent sponge. If my brain were toilet paper, it would be Charmin Ultra. Actually, that’s a good analogy, considering the amount of crap my brain soaks up. When I expose myself to a certain kind of media for extended periods of [...]
In this mad world of technological gadgetry and sci-fi wonderment, I found myself falling head over heels for that old, simple broadcasting device. I’d always known it existed, but never really paid it much mind. Until a few years ago. I can’t tell you specifically what happened. Something just…clicked, in my head, and there was [...]
I’m very excited to say that my first article for the fabulous new website Life As A Human has been posted! Hurray! Below is an excerpt. I would be very much obliged if you would do me the honours of going to the LAAH site, reading it, and posting a comment to make me look [...]
Spending time alone in other people’s houses is weird. I used to do it quite a bit as a teenager for Ingrid. Not only did I babysit for her, I would clean her house a few times a week and look after the cats when she went away. I remember the first time she got [...]
It feels like it was only five and a half weeks ago that I boarded the clipper and began my Ecuadorian journey. And yet here I am, five and a half weeks later, preparing to say goodbye to the fairer America continent and head on home. Where did the time go? I have to admit [...]
Previously on Raggedy Threads: Angie, Nathan and I were all supposed to fly out of San Cristobal on the 31st at noon. Due to my sudden and violent distain for boats, I moved my ticket, and my ticket alone, to fly out of Baltra at 10:30am. The 31st was to be a long travel day. [...]
I’m looking around my apartment – at all the boxes scattered on the floor, at the piles of weird crap that have made their way out of closets and are demanding to be sorted, at the bags of things that were once “possessions” and are now “garbage” – and I’m wondering what the hell I’m [...]
