This is the personal blog of Walt White. I am a Drafter/Designer living in Berks County, PA. I have a fondness for Cigars, Photography, and Firearms. Take a look around and you may find something interesting regardless of how different your hobbies may be from my own.
While driving back from picking up my daughter on Monday, I noticed the oil light on my car blink. This isn’t a big deal and normally means that I need to add a bit of oil (Oil level is low but not low enough to keep the oil pressure light on). Not having any synthetic [...]
Back in July, my wife surprised me with a Barnes & Noble Nook (eReader) for my birthday. Since receiving it, I’ve been on the lookout for free eBooks which fall into the the Fantasy genre. Among them was a novel by I J Black entitled Amnar: The Execution. Of the few eBooks that I’ve collected, [...]
As the title suggests, this writing prompt is going to deal with laughter at in inapropriate time and place. Imagine, if you will, sitting in a church as a grieving family member delivers a eulogy. From behind you, you hear someone struggling to hold back laughter. As the individual tries not to interrupt the service, [...]
A family spends an afternoon together on the beach. While playing in the sand, a young boy steps on a piece of glass. To the families surpise, green blood escapes the startled boys body. In the event that you use the prompt, please feel free to link to your story in the comment section below.
A couple of months ago, when I started posting creative writing here on my blog, I learned about something called National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo for short. The idea is to use the month of November to focus and write a 50,000 word novel. I thought that it sounded really cool and wanted to [...]
Being the new father of a beautiful baby girl, I’ve found that my free time isn’t what it used to be. I still manage to sneak in a few cigars while working on Stogie Review content and do a little light reading, but I have found it difficult to work on creative writing. I originally [...]

This week I’ve been given my first taste of what it is like to be a stay at home dad, while not really being a stay at home dad. Like most families here in the US, when my wife delivered she took maternity leave from her place of employment. For the past three-months she has [...]

Having been a cigar blogger for more than four-years, it is not uncommon for Stogie Review to receive questions on how to handle reviews and articles being republished, without permission. Under most circumstances this type of problem is the direct result of a scraper site. To make our blogs convenient, we package our work into [...]
As I sit here staring at a blank word processor, I fight the urge to try and rub the sandy texture out of my eyes. I found myself glued to the television last night and didn’t get to bed until much later than usual. I’ve become engrossed by a television show and kept telling myself [...]
There comes a time in every persons life when they hear the call. It can be difficult to pick out in the still of the night but it is there, gentle yet persistant. When I heard the call, it was clear to me. In the time it takes the heart to make a single beat, [...]
I am passionate about cigars. So passionate, in fact, that I spend a fair bit of my time contributing to a popular cigar review site, Stogie Review. Over the past three years, my partners and I, have been traveling to the annual IPCPR trade show as members of the press. Press coverage is something that [...]
“You know, there are some jobs women are simply not cut out for. Changing the station on the television is at the top of the list, now would you give me that damn clicker!” Milton’s patience was wearing thin as he watched his wife, Martha, control the television. Warm summer air blew through an open [...]
