So due to a lucky break a spot opened up in this past Saturday’s Grand Rapids Indie Flea. This pun is in exceptionally poor taste as the space I’m taking belonged to someone who just broke their arm. However, I couldn’t not use the pun. It’s a sickness […]
I know I spout off a lot of stuff about things you should do, and things you shouldn’t do, but believe me when I say there are exceptions to EVERY rule. Don’t you dare let my perception of what is the correct way to do things in […]
This Saturday I attended the Kalamazoo St. Valentines Day Massacre and Winter Tournament of Chivalry at the Kalamazoo County Expo Center.

So I’ve been busy. Like super busy. Super hella busy. You get the idea. But all this craziness is, in no small part, due to my life as a writer. I’ve got some stuff I can go into and some I can’t but today we’re going to focus […]
