In this session of Stray Thoughts, I ponder how to structure the multi-layered world Micah and his companions find themselves in, in The Axis.
Solo is No Gamble – Vlog
Solo: A Star Wars Story was a "box office bomb," but that doesn't mean it has nothing to offer. I talk about the best and worst of Solo as well as what I will take away from it in my future storytelling.
What Do You Get When You Add Wizard of Oz to Inside Out? – Vlog
In this session of Stray Thoughts, I introduce a novel I have been working on for year, code names: The Axis. It shares some concepts with Wizard of Oz and Pixar's Inside Out, but blazes its own unique path.
Ragnarok is a grand Departure from Thor – Vlog
Marvel's Thor (from the movies) has been one of my favorite characters in recent history. I recently watched the first Thor and just saw Ragnarok. The difference between them is striking.
Can Biblical Superheroes Exist Alongside Comic Book Characters?- Vlog
In this first intentional episode of Stray Thoughts, I ponder how Sione Ga, the Shiner; a Divine warrior could work in a Universe alongside other super humans: good and bad. How does power come from the Divine? How do they interact with the world?
Star Wars Team-Ups & One-Shots – Vlog

I had the mildest interest in seeing this new take on Power Rangers, but it came available on Amazon Prime and I gave it a whirl. 15 minutes or so in and I had to keep watching it. I have some thoughts on it.
Making of the Shadowfont Logo – Vlog
A few weeks ago, I made this and I decided to put it out now. I'm really happy with how this inkwell heart came out. Is it artful or gross? I'm open to comments. Making of the Shadowfont Logo - Vlog
Does Star Wars: The Last Jedi Make the Cosmic Force a Cruel GOD? – Vlog
It's been a while since I have written anything, but I have a growing backlog of videos to release, so I'll start with this one concerning some revelations from The Last Jedi book and bonus features.
Why is this Writer Making All These Videos? – Vlog
I decided it was time to take my vlogging to the next level, so here is a video talking about how I will use videos to aide me in my writing.
The End of Star Wars: Rebels – Vlog
I have a lot of conflicting feelings about Star Wars: Rebels. I loved the finale, but the overall ride was rough. There seemed to be an underlying directive that I'd like to avoid. It seemed to lack conviction at times.
