Anger
As promised (I’m really trying to get better following through on my promises) I am starting TODAY 2/10 with the first audio installment of my book which I am attempting to narrate myself. Look for my installments to majorly increase in quality as I learn what the hell I am doing. Remember “good things comeContinue reading “Anger”
Dialing it In
An expression that refers to effort, and how much a person gives of themselves. Instead of fighting and battling against something, isn’t it easier to just “dial it in” with minimal or no effort? I can’t do that. Never could. My problem many times, is giving TOO MUCH and OVERREACHING. Sounds weird, but that’s howContinue reading “Dialing it In”
Zeal
In my book EMOTIONS: Not Your Mama’s ABC’s, under each letter of the alphabet I include a short preface to the short stories. Believe me when I say it is a new genre focused on maximum emotional impact with an economy of words. You can check it out on my website marksplayhouse.com. Please let meContinue reading “Zeal”
Nothing Off Limits
In my book Emotions: Not Your Mama’s ABC’s, nothing is off limits. It is truly an emotional rollercoaster, testing your emotional resilience to read, decipher, and experience each story (or preface) on its own merit. It may also have you questioning my sanity on occasion. Definitely not for speedreading despite its length. An example ofContinue reading “Nothing Off Limits”
Why So Angry?

It divides families, cities, states, and as recent events have illustrated; it divides nations. I write about anger and other emotions listed under the 26 lettersContinue reading “Why So Angry?”
Hard Work Pays Off
This is an excerpt from my book EMOTIONS: Not Your Mama’s ABC’s where I assign emotions to the different letters of the alphabet. Under the letter Q: “Querulous implies complaining, something I do, but mostly in private. My problem is that I’ve never given a shit about anything, so if I don’t care, IContinue reading “Hard Work Pays Off”
Respect
You know, I was watching a rerun episode of Hell’s Kitchen starring Chef Gordon Ramsay and I couldn’t help but chuckle. I consider this a comedy, not a reality show. Don’t get me wrong, I am not a basher. He is legit and you don’t earn umpteen million Michelin stars and become one of theContinue reading “Respect”
An Excerpt From My Book

Life
From my book EMOTIONS: Not Your Mama’s ABCs. This is a sample of the story filed under the emotion “maternal.” “Push! Push! Come on Nan, you can do it! Almost there now. Push!” her husband John cried out.Nancy gritted her teeth one more time and shoved. She already had two babies, both delivered by C-section.Continue reading “Life”
