February 22nd, 2022 A cliché usually becomes a cliché for a reason, and that reason is usually because it’s true. Besides watching his interviews and studying the examples of The Hero with a Thousand Faces, I hadn’t dug too deep into Joseph Campbell’s catalog. Campbell was what everyone read. Lucas used Campbell to create StarContinue reading “Pathways To Bliss”

On Gender
February 21st, 2022 I know there are people out there who are having difficulty while having conversations about gender. I, with people I know personally, have been trying to build bridges between those gaps in connection. A version of the conversation I’ve been having is in an upcoming book of mine, but I feel likeContinue reading “On Gender”
Monday Bloody Sunday
February 20th, 2022 I spent half of today thinking it was Monday. Not just thinking it. Living it as though it was Monday. My day off. And that would have been fine, had today not actually been Sunday. Now you’re probably thinking, “Is there anything so dumb that this man won’t write something about it?”Continue reading “Monday Bloody Sunday”
Fire & Ice: Kickstarter For Brushfire & Cold World
February 18th, 2022 Ready or not, here come my two big projects of summer 2022! This campaign to publish them — which I’ve cleverly titled Fire & Ice — is going to be running for the month of March, but Kickstarter approved it early; this means that if you’re one of those supportive nuts whoContinue reading “Fire & Ice: Kickstarter For Brushfire & Cold World”
Never More Alive, Never Closer To Death
February 18th, 2022 I just finished writing Cold World. It’s a whole story. And it’s beautiful, and it’s funny, and it’s action-packed, and it’s heartbreaking. Some people live, and some people die. It’s my love letter to the people who don’t know what to believe in, but they believe in it just the same. NowContinue reading “Never More Alive, Never Closer To Death”
An Ode to the Rescue Rangers
February 16th, 2022 An Ode to the Rescue Rangers If you’re following along, you may have seen me lose my mind over the new Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers trailer yesterday. In fact, I have been abnormally salivating since the project was first announced. The original series was one of my absolute favorites growing up.Continue reading “An Ode to the Rescue Rangers”
The Song That Never Ends
February 14th, 2022 I feel like today is a good day to talk about vulnerability. Because I feel like every day is a good day to talk about vulnerability. I can’t even count the amount of people who have been reading my posts all these years and then ask me some variation of: “When isContinue reading “The Song That Never Ends”
Cold World: Official Playlist
February 14th, 2022 June (and summer) feels so far away, so I can understand if your wait for my new book, Cold World, seems cruel. In the meantime, I’ll try to talk about what’s going on behind the scenes, which includes sharing fun stuff like this playlist that is both inspired by and inspiring theContinue reading “Cold World: Official Playlist”
Bottomless Refills
February 11, 2022 I’m on empty. This emptiness is nothing new. Regular readers (hi, there!) will know that I’m the type who believes in using whatever tools work. It’s why I’m always trying to understand others, especially those who are not the same as me. Feeling empty, as least from a Western standpoint, is widelyContinue reading “Bottomless Refills”

I’m putting together ideas for merchandise, both for purchase at my store/conventions, and for incentive gifts when people support my work. So what do you want to see?
