Hello. This is the face of a disability. I think that it’s pretty cute. My son Niko has Williams Syndrome. He was diagnosed when he was about a year old. Williams is becoming more common, but when he was diagnosed, we hadn’t heard of it. It was a crazy mystery that messed with his genes. [...]

So I’m all about social media. I like it, a LOT. I love blogs, but it’s more difficult for me to keep up with. It takes a while to search everybody out, read posts, and comment. If you really want to stay in touch, I’m on Facebook. If you really, really want conversations to fly, [...]
The Ugly Side To “Write What You Know”
Posted in Writing, tagged bad advice, boxing, K. Allen Wood, write what you know, writing advice on July 12, 2010 | 20 Comments »
I’m not sure how I feel about the famous “Write What You Know” advice. There’s an ugly flip side to it that says, “Hey, if you don’t know it, then you can’t write about it.” I hate being limited like that, and it lights a dark fire in my skull that shrieks, “Don’t tell me [...]
