Today at lunch, I was talking to my coworkers about voting as today is obviously Midterm Election day. One coworker was cavalier about the day, stating her intentions to skips the polls, while the other subtly yet passionately tried to get her to change her mind. The one coworker who doesn't vote said that she... Continue Reading →
For The Joy of Planting
"Don't be attached to the fruits of your actions" -Bhagavad Gita This quote was in my screenwriting book that I have been slowly wending my way through the past month or so, and while the author intended to inspire his readers to write without attachment to money or fame, it struck me that it was...
