Just like the title of this post suggests, today was a fairly quiet day. I played with my son, edited my sequel, ate lunch with the Mrs. Really just a low key kind of day. The most shocking part of it was when my sweet little parrot bit my nose just hard enough to make my … More Quiet Sunday
Yesterday I wrote from a place of anger. Today it is all about love. I got to spend most of the day with these two wonderful individuals. Together we had a nice big meal and then spent the next several hours running through empty halls and playing hide and go seek around huge columns. Every … More A New Day

I’m in one of those phases again. It seems every couple of months I take a look at myself and where I am at creatively and just wonder “What am I doing?” The answer is never a nice one, because the question is loaded. Objectively I could at where I am at and say that … More The Goblin of Doubt
As an aspiring novelist and podcaster I find myself constantly searching for the best way to get my message out there. That message currently is “Hey! Read my stuff! Listen to my stuff!” A lot of friends have heeded this message, and a few have been kind enough to ask “What else can we do?” … More Comprehensive Guide to Supporting Brent Thomas
It’s been a while since I’ve talked about the school I work at. Longtime readers might remember that I teach at a private elementary school here in Tokyo, and that the school is all girls. Recently we started work on the sixth grade English play. This is a yearly tradition that started well before I … More My School: Theatre Edition
