How To Write When You’re Sick

How To Write When You’re Sick

This blog had a pretty uneventful start recently. Mainly because I’ve been as sick as I’ve ever been for the past week. It’s not a fun experience as you can imagine. It’s hard concentrate on what you’re doing even when you’re doing nothing at all. Imagine trying to form your thoughts on paper. It just doesn’t translate too well to quality writing. I wasn’t about to just lie in bed coughing and sniffling with a 101.4 fever however.... 

Who Am I And How On Earth Can I Help You?

Who Am I And How On Earth Can I Help You?

I think that’s the most poignant question that every reader should probably have when they come here. It’s one that I myself ask at every new blog I visit.

  • About Me

    Brian T. Young I'm Brian T. Young, hence the BTY. I love science, scifi, blogging, and tech. I'm the Editor-in-Chief at Couch Campus so it's a nobrainer that I love video games and movies. I'm currently working on a scifi novel myself. I've been looking into the blogger space for Couch Campus for a while now and have learned things I could never apply there. I always got tired being shown general blogging tactics for a niche that wasn't designed for them. Now I'm putting all that useless information to work here, for my novel and this site's readers. Everything I know I will share with you. If there's something I don't know we can figure it out together.
