The Story that Almost Didn’t Get Finished
My latest story, The Cell Window, took six weeks to finish. Key Relationships (the main story from The Fiction of Kosmo Volume 1 – roughly the same length as The Cell Window) took about ten days to complete, so I assumed I was setting aside plenty of time when I began writing a full month [...]

How Do You Like Them AAPLs?
If you had bought shares of Apple Computer (AAPL) in July of 1997, you would have paid $13 per share. At the close of the trading day on Thursday, shares of Apple were worth more than $200.
