On The Table Today
From a creative stand point, it hasn’t been that great a day so far (Though admittedly, the day is young, and I hope to rectify this in a few hours) since the bulk of it has so far been taking up with tweaking and confirming the contents of the script I’m toiling [...]
Okay, So I’m A Lazy WriterIt only just occurred to me that while I read quite a lot, I haven’t actually read a novel (Unless you count me rereading Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game a little while ago) in years. It’s probably incredibly philistine of me to admit it, but for the most part, [...]
Please Don’t Screw This Up…
I still remember back in 1996 (My first year in Singapore) with my still relatively shiny and relatively new Playstation when I finally got around to picking up what was touted as the revolutionary new next generation adventure game, a little title by the name Tomb Raider. Back then it was [...]

Being Comfortable With Your VoiceI’m talking about your “writing voice,” by the way.As frightening–and somewhat depressing–as it may be for me to think this now, I’ve been writing professionally in one capacity or another for the last 10 damn years. In that time I’ve broached just about every form of written communication possible, from [...]
Mental Note To Self:Writing scripts for a television program in support of the cosmetics industry when you yourself are A) Male and B) wept with testosterone guilt over Naomi Wolfe’s The Beauty Myth isSuperFuckingHARD.Bah. And here I thought I was going to breeze through this with barely ruffled hair. It’s hard to maintain a cheeky [...]
Hi There! I’m An Articulate White Man…More cultural observation…One of the funky things about Singapore (Which you folks back home will never relate to) is just how special it is to be white here. Keep in mind, the population is pre-dominantly Chinese with Malay and Indian components, and up until WWII, it was a proud [...]
