Floating in the Dark: Inside a Sensory Deprivation Tank

May 29, 2015 By Joel Runyon 8 Comments

float tank nothing

Lately, I’ve been experimenting with weird things that I’ve never heard of and that sound interesting. One week it was a cryotherapy chamber. The next it was a sensory deprivation tank. If it sounds like a torture device, that’s because it combines a lot of things I don’t like: Darkness, lots of nothing and a coffin-shaped object you get to lie in for an hour.

Writer’s Freedom

May 12, 2015 By Joel Runyon 6 Comments

A lot of people talk about writer’s block. The idea that you either can’t come up with something to write or don’t know what to write about. I’ll cut to the chase on this topic - I think it’s bull. Most people don’t have writer’s block. They have writer’s fear. They’re scared to produce. They’re scared to create. But most of all, they’re scared to get judged.
