4 (Quicksilver Moments).
A theme throughout this blog has been one of quicksilver moments. The little slivers of time that seem to hang in the air for far too long and for a split second, everything seems, not perfect, not priceless, but pure.

6 (Years). 5 (Major Events). – pt. 1
This is one of those posts that I'm not sure I should even write. There's been a lot of those as of late. In fact, if you were to dive into the drafts of KataNerd you would find 30 ideas just sitting in digital limbo. Some of them just a title and then meaningless splashes …
Thor and Loki
I once read Neil Gaiman's retake on Norse mythology and it was AWESOME. From there, I carried around a few ideas on story switch-up and recasting. Cue a Bending Genres hosted by the workshop by the wonderfully talented Jonathan Cardew, and BAM! I had a new start to something. It's not done, it's not really …

#AWP20: Viral Interfacing
San Antonio, you're beautiful This past week was literally the single most writerly thing I have ever done. I was at a conference with THOUSANDS of other writers. That's right, thousands. That's more than I have ever hung out with before by several factors of 10. I was there as the "Community Manager" of Bending …
BRAND NEW ADVENTURE!
Like, new new! Well, there are actually a few new adventures rolling around right now. One of them tomorrow afternoon. That, however, is not my adventure, that is wholly in the realm of my wife. And boy is she ever going to have quite the doozy, Uganda, ER Medicine, new people, and ZEBRAS! I think, …
