GREAT MOMENTS IN DAD HISTORY! Sometimes, as a dad, you look back on things and you realize what a fantastic job you've and you give yourself a pat on the back because, since it’s not Father’s Day, no one else will. Other times, you hope you haven’t completely ruined the precious childhood of your offspring. You... Continue Reading →
A few days ago the staff here at MojoFiction came across a news article on the world wide web that detailed the 10 reasons "He hasn't proposed to you yet" ...or something like that. We were shocked to discover that these 10 reasons had absolutely no basis in reality whatsoever, as noted by reason number 2:... Continue Reading →
Today’s column offers 3:1 odds that you’ll enjoy it. That’s better than the Bulls-Heat game tonight! On to today’s files! On Humor Writing There isn’t much I like more than writing humorous material. Maybe free-donut Friday at the office, though they’ve started bringing in a lot more bagels, which brings down the experience. Anyway, there... Continue Reading →
So there was MojoFiction at 10:15am EST on Saturday morning, east of Indianapolis, in a park called Haspin Acres. The weather was cool enough that we could see our breath. We wore shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, just to rub it into nature’s face that we didn’t care about the temperature. Our comrades-in-race opted for... Continue Reading →
Time magazine just released their 100 most influential people on planet Earth and, once again, after thumbing through the issue at the book store and not bothering to actually buy it, we realized that we are not in it. Again. Never mind the short-sightedness of Time's decision to only include people on this planet, the point is WE'RE... Continue Reading →

No, the best I can hope for this season is a better record than the White Sox, which doesn't look promising. Maybe it's the start of spring and impending days of summer; maybe it's the thought...

Two for one! Today MojoFiction meditates on the unexpected thought processes of this nation’s youth. And by youth we mean kids under the age of eight. And by kids under eight we mean our own kid (who's actually eight now but never mind). After eight the cuteness scale really drops off. We also mini-review "The Croods"... Continue Reading →
Here's a fun little craft-y kinda thing from some of the staff at MojoFiction (okay, it was our administrative assistant [1]). Are you the kind of person with a couple of cute little offspring that the grandparents are constantly nagging you to bring around for a visit more often? Sure, you'd like to, but something always seems... Continue Reading →
Home is where you hang your hat. Home is where the heart is. Home, home on the range (or something like that). If you’ve perused any of MojoFiction’s blog or website pages, you might have realized that we love nature, specifically the great state of Colorado. We were born there and carry with us fond...

“Look, I’m playing with the snow.” Back in 1984, David Vetter, known at the time as the bubble boy, died in the hospital sometime after a bone-marrow transplant his doctors hoped would finally give him the chance to leave his plastic hospital room and go out into the world. Unfortunately, the donor was not an... Continue Reading →
