Belt Burning Day

August 29, 2017 by admin

Fact is if you train long enough, or do anything long enough, including writing, you are going to have one of these days. More than likely you will have several of these days. At first, this day will appear like any other day really. Stretching and chatting with team mates before class, breezing through the warm up, drilling the technique. Then it's time to spar. Then before you know … [Read more...]

Dreaming Monsters

August 27, 2017 by admin

Is it the world's oldest story? Rags to riches... ...to asshole. At what point does the dream shift from art to ego? Or a suitcase full of cash? Our culture has become one of celebrating the sell outs, those who posture and pose, those who swagger and swear, to reach the ultimate goal: the payout. All eyes on the braggarts, the insulters, the shiny-suited mofos in their rented … [Read more...]

Greasing the Groove

August 26, 2017 by admin

There's this concept in exercise called Greasing the Groove. Let's say you want to do 10 pull ups. But you can't. How do you approach getting to that goal of 10 pull ups.

Reaching a point of failure … [Read more...]

August 24, 2017 by admin

Instead of spending my early mornings putting down a thousand words per day on a story, I am stuck on two words. Two damned words. The title of my upcoming fantasy book. Two words should be easy. Right? After all it's only two freaking words. This is the third day in a row of combinations of two words, sometimes three, rarely four. I want someone else to swoop in here on white … [Read more...]

Connecting…

August 23, 2017 by admin

Website slow loading. Waiting on hold. But also, more importantly, a few words shared. Common ideas that bridge the divide between you and me. As artists, we are in our heads, our bodies forgotten, except when unwinding from tortured positions. But we can connect. Because even if our struggles are different, they are the same. Connect with other artists, With the … [Read more...]

Between

August 21, 2017 by admin

Between what we are and what we want to become. That is the essence of a meaningful life. But that is not where it stops. What matters is how we carry ourselves between here and there. Especially when failure and setback fills that space between. … [Read more...]

Unfinished Projects

I read in a book recently that an experiment was done that showed that unfinished projects take up more mental bandwidth than finished projects. The scientists tested this by allowing their subjects to finish some puzzles but not others in a certain allotment of time. The subjects continued to think about the unfinished puzzles afterwards.
