Unfiltered Whisky and Writing
Last week, I participated in an improv comedy show here in LA at the M.I. Westside Comedy Theater. The theme of the show was diaries. I was one of three readers who shared a passage from their secret jottings in … Continue reading
Independence in Writing and Whisky
“Every path but your own is the path of fate. Keep on your own track, then.” ― Henry David Thoreau, Walden “Independent” has such a strong, rebellious connotation that burns beneath the word. Independent means you’ve clawed over the walls … Continue reading
