Unhappily for Obama and the Democrats, most Americans don’t seem to like the individual mandate very much anyway. Many on the political right believe it a threat to individual liberty. Many on the left object to being required to buy something from a private company. The President and the Democrats could have avoided this dilemma in the first place if they’d insisted on Medicare for all, or at...

Why I decided to wait...

… until I was done writing my book to tell everyone. Here’s the deal folks, in order to become a writer you have to do one thing above all: Write. When I first started writing, I didn’t tell a SOUL what I was about to do. And in the end I think it helped me. It helped me to discover that writing could be a passion of mine, that I do it to tell stories, bring characters alive,...

(For a useful laugh, try “How Not To Write...

I don't know...

… why I thought I could write a novel. Whenever I read another book, watch a great movie, play an awesome game, I think to myself, ‘I can never do this.’ All the intricate plots, characters full of depth, fantastic, meaningful dialogue. Self doubt permeates my thinking. I am terrified. About what people will think. That I won’t be good enough. I really have no idea what I...
