I found this great infographic on how to write a great antagonist. Many of you, I'm sure, understand that I myself am on the dark side. My daily goal is to get you to write, and only an evil person could truly want to do that. Innately I understand these principles, but I thought I … Continue reading Learning to Write a Great Antagonist with Batman

Emmy Winners 2017
One of my first posts when I started working here was the list of Emmy winners for 2016. Looks like it's been a little over a year since I started working at theOffice. I hope you've enjoyed the ride here at the blog as much as I have in writing the posts. I'm going … Continue reading Emmy Winners 2017
Quote of the Day – Barbara Fine Clouse and Angela Booth
If you think about it, these quotes make a lot of sense. It's great to have a warm-up of sorts to get the brain going and the ideas flowing. I like editing the pages from my previous writing session. Keep in mind this isn't a full edit. It's mostly for a grammar check and a … Continue reading Quote of the Day – Barbara Fine Clouse and Angela Booth
Fall TV Preview
Fall TV preview? Don't I already have enough shows to watch? I still need to see "Ozark," I'm binge-watching "The Office" (not to be confused with my workplace, theOffice!), and just binged "Attack on Titan" and "Preacher." Gotta watch "Rick and Morty" too. Also... I just found out that there's a 24/7 live stream … Continue reading Fall TV Preview
Writing Tips – Positive Reinforcement
But you say you're not a dog? Dogs can't read. I know that, and I certainly know my audience... all one of you named Mom. Well that's no excuse! Shaggy wasn't a dog either, and positive reinforcement worked wonders on him. That guy would do anything for a Scooby Snack! What is positive reinforcement anyway? … Continue reading Writing Tips – Positive Reinforcement
In-Depth Look – Stephen King
Last October I posted an In-Depth Interview on Stephen King, which deals more about his life, and what has influenced him as a writer. It's hard to realize how much his stories have an influence on our culture. Really, did you know just within the span of several months he has 5 projects releasing? Three … Continue reading In-Depth Look – Stephen King
Cosplay: Where Characters Come to Life
https://www.instagram.com/p/BX9dOW0jnWx/?taken-by=gamerjoefoto I have a buddy from college who's really passionate about the world of cosplay. If you don't know, cosplay is the practice of dressing up as a character from a movie, book, or video game, especially one from the Japanese genres of manga and anime. This is pretty inspiring if you think about it. People … Continue reading Cosplay: Where Characters Come to Life
Handling Criticism
"What did you think of my book?" "Oh I loved it, except there was one little part I'd have done differently. I think it could really benefit if you changed this one tiny little thing." "I poured my soul out! My book is perfect!" *runs away crying* Taking criticism can be really tough! The form … Continue reading Handling Criticism
The Crossover
I'm currently watching "The Defenders." Don't worry this is a spoiler-free post! I'll just tell you when our favorite Netflix superheroes finally meet it's a moment that was well worth the wait. It's incredibly exciting to see how character's with their own shows or movies act when they finally meet face to face. Sometimes it's … Continue reading The Crossover
Writing Advice – Neil Strauss
I was listening to an old Tim Ferriss podcast, The Tim Ferriss Show, recently, a guy who is well known for dissecting the essence of excellence, and he was interviewing Neil Strauss about what made him such a great writer. The whole episode is worth listening to, but this particular part about drafts, and what the purpose … Continue reading Writing Advice – Neil Strauss
