My Ratfist Book On Self Control
July 26, 2018
In my book Ratfist, the hero chopped off his tail, but the tail came alive and started speaking, but only said what was in his subconscious mind. This came from an idea that most people don’t speak what they actually think and that’s probably a good thing: Not speaking our mind can be a great… More My Ratfist Book On Self Control
I Made It 52 Years
July 10, 2018
So far, I love getting old. I may not be old-old, but when I was 20 I didn’t think I’d make it to 40. When I was 40 I didn’t think I would make it to 50. At 52 I’d feel blessed if I make it to 62… but I’m not assuming I will. Life… More I Made It 52 Years
Fear of Failure
June 2, 2018
Embrace your failure and nothing can hurt you. That’s what I learned by so many things that were getting in the way of my success simply because I wasn’t good at them. It’s one thing when others tell you that you can’t do it. It’s another thing when you tell yourself you can’t do it.… More Fear of Failure
Neverhood Watercolors
February 20, 2018
Long before the Neverhood was a clay animated game, it was a bunch of paintings I did for a few San Diego art shows in the late 80s. I’m going back to my roots by making a few watercolors of my favorite clay land, the Neverhood. Hall of Records, 2.5″ x 3.5″ on 140 lb… More Neverhood Watercolors
Everyone Should Draw
February 5, 2018
I’m a big fan of art for the fun of it. I think everyone should own a sketchbook, and everyone should draw, even it’s not what you think is good. It’s therapeutic and unlike music that sounds terrible when played by a beginner, people who just start drawing almost always come up with something pretty… More Everyone Should Draw

Doug TenNapel’s Unifying Theory of Everything; Beginning Middle and End
January 29, 2018
I’ve been lecturing on story for over twenty years. That doesn’t make me good at story because I’ve seen many people who have lectured on story for over twenty years who don’t know what they’re talking about. But one thing I can say about my story-telling thoughts is that they work… and that they are… More Doug TenNapel’s Unifying Theory of Everything; Beginning Middle and End
The Why of Story (and why you should care)
January 22, 2018
The weird thing about making something isn’t when it’s done. Once I get my head around a story it’s not mysterious any more. The characters, locations and plot exist and it stops being scary any more. The knot in my gut goes from “What is this going to be?” to “How am I going to… More The Why of Story (and why you should care)
