Sorry for not caring, Marcey.
He scoffed. Marcey thought he had a problem. A big problem. He agreed with her assessment. Just not her solution. The coffee warmed his belly and gave him an instant jolt of energy. “I love you too,” He said to Marcey. “And I understand your concerns.” He would probably need another cup after his conversation… — read more

Hero Complex pt 1: “Rise -and fall- of the Puppy Guardian”
My hero complex was going to get me killed. Or fired. I knew it would. Death and unemployment would not stop me from being a hero and protecting that puppy. I stopped traffic. Snatched the lost puppy from the street and carried it to the sidewalk. “Calm down,” I begged as the baby pitbull tried… — read more

Under Constr-… Scrutiny pt. 1
He was extremely dissatisfied with the selection of movies on the video-on-demand service. The one for which he pays a forever increasing monthly fee. That service where prices go up while quality steadily declines. Except for a few of their original series which he thought were worth the price. He settled on a channel. An… — read more

My lips are a distraction…
Oh the joys of living with a non artist, non-creative partner. I’m trying to have a deep, productive conversation about branding and creating content in a way that will attract new readers, and my partner would rather talk about my dry lips. “Your lips are dry,” She said. “I’m focused on branding and creating. Not… — read more

Where to next?

Writing exercise…
A simple exercise I do to sharpen my narrative skills… I would watch a movie or television show and recreate a scene in novel or story format. I don’t pause the action. I let it play and try to catch what I can, visually and by ear, as it plays. This is what I got… — read more

Pace under Pressure… How schedule and life changes altered my writing style.
Seems like I do my best writing when I’m overwhelmed. Seems like every waking hour I am bombarded with life, relationships, adult responsibilities, and worst of all, my job. My (place horrible description here) job. — More like a windowless prison for hours upon hours of excruciatingly boring, mind-numbing, repetetive tasks for 40+ hours a… — read more

Site Building, Branding, Progress, Placeholders, and questioning my intentions….
An accomplished entrepreneur pal and semi-mentor of mine –someone I nag via email for startup advice on a daily basis– asked me a very profound question about http://www.DarrionJWrites.com. He asked… How do you intend on leveraging it for professional opportunities, or monetizing the site itself? To which I replied… “The current site is more of… — read more

The life cycle of a story… or, the death of progress? (The picture)
Simple. Yet, not so simple. Correct path to follow.. But oh so freakin’ dangerous. To me. I know myself. If I’m not careful, this simple cycle can turn into a deadly –to progress– never-ending, vortex which threatens to suck me into the bottomless abyss of “wanting the story to be perfect”. Shit will never be… — read more
