Arguably, true abundance might be contentment–everything as is, without justification, categorization, or rationalization. Being in the present, in other words, and feeling the default wellbeing that comes with that state. On the other end of the spectrum, plenty of folks have had a glut of resources and time, and lived most of their lives in…

As weird as it might seem, I believe creativity is an inevitable thing. Due to the procession of time and separative quality of space, we constantly experience a new configuration of energy and matter. So for me, the question around creativity isn’t about being special or unique; that’s a default, ongoing condition. It’s about whether…

I believe the creative process isn’t just restricted to sitting down and producing material. It actually pervades day-to-day life, where seemingly irrelevant events will serve as premises and ideas that take root in your mind, then eventually evolve into components of your work. Accordingly, I don’t stress if inspiration doesn’t immediately strike. To me, that…

This may sound strange, but when I let everything be whatever it wants to be (instead of trying to outright deny or rationalize away this or that), I can focus better, calm naturally arises from within, and it organically quiets any outward turbulence. Maybe my internal allowance is somehow fractalizing through a mirrored existence, where…

In my mind, the goal of writing is not to author a one-shot knock-out bestseller. Personally, I think that’s like rushing through a meal so you can enjoy the last bite of a dessert that may or may not come. For me, the goal of writing is to immerse myself in appreciation of each narrative…

As I get older, I’ve experienced multiple instances of good turning bad, and bad turning good. It’s encouraged me to tone down the judgment and reactive negativity. On a related note, I’ve come to believe that true abundance isn’t defined by time or material, but from possibility itself. Who knows what opportunities we’ll be able…

I have a pretty high criteria for writing–it must be fun, or at the very very VERY least, fulfilling in the net sense of gain versus loss. It’s a terrible way to make money, and, after a certain point, a story will inevitably attract dislike. (My reasoning for that is everyone has a different/unique view…

I love editing, and I consider it to be an integral part of writing. For me, editing is where I flesh out the rhythm of the words. It’s where I check the flow between lines, between paragraphs and chapters, how dialogue from one character interacts with another, revealing their base philosophies and to what degree…
