Crafty TV Writing
Have you ever thought a show was terrible but couldn’t put your finger on what it was about the show that wasn’t working? Sometimes an actor will obviously be the cause of your distaste for the show, but sometimes even your favorites series just don’t feel like they’re working.

Abusing Non-Linear Storytelling
or, How Human Target Inspired My Writing I am very excited to be working on a new writing projects, and I’m currently in the planning stages of how to lay out some stories.
