Welcome to Happenchance, a community for creative people.

Whether you’re a musician, writer, painter, programmer, publisher, expat, or pornographer, Happenchance strives to bring you useful stuff on a regular basis. Happenchance.net features articles on creativity, writing,  motivation, music, travel, living abroad, entrepreneurship, personal finance, and more.

Some things happen by chance, absolutely freakish. We’re born with a sour disposition, the people we’re with make bad decisions, we find a sack of unmarked hundred dollar bills, a piano falls from the sky, whatever. Some things are beyond our control, but other things aren’t. I believe by combining creativity, embracing chance, and appreciating hard work, we can all have a chance to make our lives richer, more satisfying, and more fun.

Happenchance.

Make it happen.

About the Publisher & Founder (a.k.a. The Blogger with a Fancy Title)

Salutations! I’m Seth M Baker, and I look forward to hearing from you. I currently live in Seoul, South Korea with my wife where we try to teach English to Korean kids.

Since the turn of the century,  I’ve been entertaining myself with fiction and songwriting. I’ve written a couple albums worth of material, mostly unrecorded, about twenty short stories as well as two three novel drafts.

These are hobbies I love. They keep me sane.

Eventually these projects will be ready to share with the world, but until then, the act of creating them is enough for me. Every act of creation is an adventure, and each adventure is just one part of my journey.

Happenchance.net  is my little way of sharing this journey with the world.

I’m no expert. I’m no guru. I’m just a guy who loves art, music, writing, and language.

If I had a motto, it might be “Every day is another chance to learn. Every failure is an education.”

As always, thanks for reading. I look forward to hearing from you!

~Seth
