Thanks for stopping by! A few things about me. I've been an L.A. local for my whole life, and I spend my days working here at front desk of theOffice. My number one goal here is to fill this blog feed full of things that will motivate and inspire writers, and to give you all an occasional laugh. I'm a lover of science and technology, geek culture, and video games. If anything inspires you as a writer, I'd love to hear about it!

Many people think it's just the rich and the famous living there, but a lot of people that I went to school and grew up with were middle-class. There was a major fascination for me growing up there. I was so close, yet so far from the mega-rich. … Continue reading Jesse Armstrong On Writing

Derek Kolstad On Writing

May 15, 2019January 30, 2026

The clock is ticking with the imminent release of John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum. I thought it would be fun to shoot straight back into what made the original so great.
