Oh, my dearest friend, don’t tell meYou’ll be leaving my side.Will it be a short distance or an endless ride? Will I be graced with your presence again?Your noble heart seeks a new terrain,To spread your wings and soar high in the sky, But do not tell me it’s time to say goodbye.Sometimes life takes…

This strange little voiceI should think of a childBut no, it’s of a little lady“You are not welcome here”Isn’t much of a greetingAs she tells me her patienceWith my presence is fleeting How all the voices of the worldCan be drowned out by a single whisperI drive myself to deafnessOn account of a whisperWayward child,…

Collected below are the gaming related articles not associated with my Magic the Gathering articles or Pokemon articles, including the very few Yu-Gi-Oh articles that survived my massive 2024-25 purge (unfortunately a few should’ve survived that didn’t because I was overwhelmed and got a bit too picky.) I doubt I’ll be adding much to this…

While I haven’t engaged much with Magic the Gathering in several years now, it seemed time to re-release my best remaining Magic the Gathering articles (in PDF form) from my archive that still hold some value, at least historically.

Although some will require substantial editing to be evergreen, I’ll be tweaking them over time to reflect the latest developments in Champions.…

Now for your reading pleasure are all of the baseball articles (in PDF form) that I’ve written that have stood the test of time. There were many more written over the years that I haven’t held onto, thanks to being too time-sensitive about transactions and whatnot. I do regret not keeping many more of them.…

During the COVID Pandemic of 2020, I made the brave choice to give up on writing freelance assignments. One of the main reasons I did so was because I felt the color draining from my writing. The grind of churning out what felt like grayscale articles daily took a toll on my sense of creative…

Often, I ponder how many incredible ideas end up falling through the cracks over the years. How many great ideas, including pitches for manuscripts that never get written that could be mind-altering and life changing, are lost forever because they got caught in a waste-bin or spam filter? I wonder how many great writing careers…

Even in elementary school, I felt that reading comprehension tests were little more than exercises in restating the obvious. These tests often seemed to measure little more than our ability to regurgitate facts and details rather than allowing us to truly engage with the material. For me, the sign of good writing is if you…

I’m up at 3:30 AM on Saturday, November the First, year 2025. No longer are these notes preceded by any identifier other than the date in year, month, and day format. I don’t believe anything else is necessary, since these are but brain dumps to organize ideas and brainstorm concepts for serious writing work going…
