Waterfront Trail Run
This is the second time I’ve done this. I went for a run and took my camera along. I stopped every few minutes to take a picture. Here is a visual tour of my run through the Waterfront Trail in Grimsby. I started off the run right out the front door of my mom’s house.…

Governed by Laws
On Marshall McLuhan… “Take Today underscores his view that all life – mental, material, spiritual, physical – is governed by laws, laws that no one else has even noticed, let alone considered worthy of discussion between the covers of a book. … The laws are infallible – as precise as mathematics, as ubiquitous as weather…

At the Library
So here I sit at the library in the computer lab. There are four rows of computers with four computers in each row. The computers are nice. They all have flat screen privacy monitors. You can’t glance over at your neighbour to see what he is doing because the screen just appears to be black.…

Alone in a Crowd
Last week when I went to the Canada Day Festival, I went by myself. I can sit and watch the bands perform all day long. I like to go to the different stages and see the local up-and-coming talent, as well as the headliners. I sometimes have a hard time finding someone who wants to…

Things Work Out
Do you remember how we met each other? “Yeah, I do. It was at a conference. We sat beside each other and got to talking.” And why did you choose that specific seat? “I don’t know. I just did, I guess.” Do you think things happen for a reason? “I’m not sure. I think that…

Just Plain Idiotic
I went to Canada Day celebrations yesterday at a local park. There had to have been at least 50,000 people there. It was an amazing event that was catered to families. There were children’s rides and free events. And there was a main stage showing some local musicians. I was watching the stage show and…

Think, Leave, Cook, Write or TLCW
This is a weird philosophy of writing that I have cooked up. I thought I’d share my recipe with you. So here it is, The Recipe to Good Writing 1) Think Writers must always be thinking of what could make a good story. Be on the lookout for ideas and scribble them down where ever…

My First Creative Process
I thought that I would share the creative process that resulted in the screenplay “Stealth.” It’s an interesting story that took seven years for me to complete. It started with an idea that changed and developed over the years so that the final script was nothing like my original intended story. It all started with…
