How do you stay fit? The short answer was in the past, I beat myself up at the gym and hoped that good genes would take care of the rest. But after injuries, surgeries, and digestive issues, I just stopped. I gave up. It was too hard… That’s the truth. For the last 7 years,…

Comedy in Writing – Expectation Versus Reality

I gave myself a simple instruction for this post. Write an expectation v.s. reality. Honestly, what came to mind was the irony of actually writing sex scenes.
