The Art of Focus
For years now I’ve had people in awe of my writing output. Some people have asked, “How do you keep it all straight?” I’m never sure how to answer this. The reality is that working on 2-4 projects at a time with more on the back burner is never easy. If I told you I navigated my chaotic writer brain flawlessly all…

The Alternative to Capitalism is Still Work #reality
Work or die. I was reading an article about Millennials today that blames capitalism for how a lot of modern kids don’t want to work. The article went on to say that a lot of these young people aren’t lazy – they simply dream of a world that isn’t so fixated on capitalism because they don’t think they should have…

Writing About Writing… Or Not
Lately, I’ve been writing a lot about writing (for writers), and I haven’t written as much for readers as I probably should. If you saw my hard drive and sifted through it (it would take months) you’d find numerous files with half written, or even completely written, blog posts in them. Because here’s the thing — things the piss me…

My Crazy Cross-Genre Life
This past weekend I attended a friend’s birthday party, at which I met a wonderful couple who were readers. The standard questions came up like “What have you written?” and “Where can I find your books?” Luckily I had bookmarks with me and it turned out I had a series for each of them to try based on their interests…

Why I Prefer to Promote What I Love Instead of Bashing What I Hate
Today I read an old blog post on Slate from 2012 by someone who is tired of people being nice to writers on the internet. Okay, okay – maybe that’s not exactly what I was supposed to take away from the article, but it actually *is* what I took away from it. Basically, the author of said article asks the big money…

Making Time to Write #amwriting
Since it’s so hard to FIND time to write, perhaps it’s time to MAKE time to write. Let me help you through each of the steps… The first thing you need is an unrealistic deadline. Or a realistic one if you’re not a masochist. Next, it helps to realize and acknowledge you’re nowhere near being done. A little panic goes a long…

Seriously? Who cares?!
I guess this is my magick post for the month. Don’t really feel like sharing anything too personal. Of course a lot of my magickal work this month has been for other people. So to my post: There are certain topics that are constantly beaten to death in the pagan/magickal communities that I am SICK TO DEATH OF. Why? Because…

Photography Exhibit
Yet another side project that came up this summer… Some of my recent magickal photography, raw, honest, and beautiful in its imperfection, caught the attention of a curator for the online art gallery: Salon Arcano: Hermetic Art. The result is I was asked to do an online exhibit of some of my photographs. Because I would never say no to such an unique…

Daemonic Divine – Daemonic Devour
As most of my readers know, I’ve made working with Divine Intelligence (Daemons) my spiritual life’s work. This has come with a lot of wonderful things, but also at the expense of that blissful ignorance so many people seem to have while going about their daily lives. People often ask me what I “gain” from my work with the Daemonic.…

Good Habits
I’m one of those people whose computers rarely get viruses. I’ve have not had my accounts hacked either. I always thought it was because I was more tech savvy than the average user, but what it comes down to is that I follow five basic protocols that a lot of computer users don’t. 1. I don’t use the same password…
