March 21st, 2023 When you tell people you’re a writer with published books, their response varies. Sometimes, they’re like, “Wow! That’s awesome!” But most of the time they say: “I have a great idea for a book. Can you publish it for me?” I’ll do you one better. There’s an old adage about fish andContinue reading “How I Published My First Book: A Six-Step Process”

Because It Kills You
March 15th, 2023 Any ride you survive was worth taking; eventually you’ll take one you don’t. If you’re a normal human who does regular person things (jealous!), you probably don’t read everything I post (and if you’re a weirdo who does, okay, I see you, too). So if you missed it: back at the beginningContinue reading “Because It Kills You”
Calling All Artists! Brushfire Fan Art Part 2
March 14th, 2023 Calling all artists! When I was growing up, I was obsessed with fan art pages published in real comic books. It made me feel like, one day, that could be me. In Brushfire: Wave 1, I got the opportunity to have my own fan art page, and in Wave 2 – I’mContinue reading “Calling All Artists! Brushfire Fan Art Part 2”
what it do
March 6th, 2023 On Thursday, we decided to take a big swing: we announced exciting new directions and surprising new projects. (In this post, I’m not going to link to anything, because posts with links don’t get seen as much, but I do encourage you to check out the last few days on our socialContinue reading “what it do”
Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing Review
February 20th, 2023 I finished Matthew Perry’s book this afternoon, and I have a lot of feelings about it. If I were the kind of person to share my feelings, I would do that here, but I’m just not that guy. jk. Let’s get to it. I want to start by saying it is notContinue reading “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing Review”
Jargon Decrypted
February 19th, 2023 I’ve written several series for the web. We actually used to call them that: web series. I don’t really hear that term much anymore, except when used to describe sitcoms starring spiders. Several web shows I created were never released. Some notable titles include: The Green House, about two immature men whoContinue reading “Jargon Decrypted”
The Lines I Can Clear
February 18th, 2023 One of my first addictions was a cartridge called Tetris. If you’ve never played the game — okay, you’re lying, but I’ll bite. In Tetris, tetrominoes (geometric shapes made of four connected squares) drop from the sky and it’s up to you to move, rotate, and place them on the way down.Continue reading “The Lines I Can Clear”
How Time Got Solid
February 9th, 2023 There is no point to writing on the internet. What does it really matter? What does it accomplish? Does anybody actually need it? Because I love doing things that nobody asked me to do, I write on the internet. I started taking it seriously in 2017, or as serious as I canContinue reading “How Time Got Solid”
Caption This
In my first post about Online Writing, I addressed why I do the things I do. (Tldr: I’m an idiot.) Now I want to talk about when and how. I was once a regular internet user, just like you. I would quote cringey song lyrics, use cringey language, say cringey things about my cringey feelings,Continue reading “Caption This”
Four Simple Rules For Staying Together Forever
February 2nd, 2023 Yesterday, I waited on a couple who were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. I asked them if they had any advice to share. “Luck!” the man said, and laughed. “And having a good bride helps.” She thought for a moment, and then said: “Be kind to each other.” She smiled. “That’s soContinue reading “Four Simple Rules For Staying Together Forever”
