Do you know that great feeling when you wake up in the morning, the sunshine on your face, the smell of bacon grilling in the kitchen, and just the thought that you live in a wonderful world? Don't worry, I don't either. I'm not a morning person. But I kind of feel that way a little bit as I fina ...

Finally! I did something this week that I'm very proud of, even though there are some people who will read this and are able to do this like every month. I finished a screenplay. Yes, I did. It's 90 pages long and it's still in rough draft form. But it has a beginning, a middle and an end. It ...

Well, I have decided, for sure, wholeheartedly and under no other circumstances, that March will not end without me finishing a story treatment that I've been working on since late last year. I know that sounds very disciplined of me, but to be honest, it's not the first, second or even third mon ...

If you take a look online, there are some great promotional pictures of "Smallville" star Tom Welling donning the famous Superman suit. Sorry "Smallville" fans, I'm more of a Batman guy, so I'm not sure if Welling actually wore the costume in the series or not, but he did look great in those photos. ...
