  • 10 Characters Meme.

    I was trying to think of something a little light, a little fun, to do on the blog today since I’m definitely out of practice with regular posting and thinking of things to write. With the reclamation of the previously missing draft of Serpent in a Cage, the book has been pretty strong on my…

  • Review: “Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk” by David Sedaris.

    “It wasn’t the best story in the world, but, as the mouse had told him on more than one occasion, it wasn’t the worst, either.” “Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest/Wicked Bestiary” by David Sedaris. I am unique. I am an individual. I want to be known for my own voice and my own creative abilities.…

  • Free Book Giveaway!

    Well, okay, not exactly free, but I did get your attention, didn’t I? Stay with me, though, it may as well be free. So, I’ve got ten copies of my collection of short stories, Bowlful of Bunnies, to give away to interested parties. I’d love to sign them and personalize them a little bit, too,…

  • The Forecast for 2013.

    Hello, there, Interwebz, how have you been? It’s been a while since I’ve seen much of you, through no fault of your own. I’ve recently just returned from a pretty amazing business trip to Atlanta, and now I’m back, though I wouldn’t exactly say to the usual grind. It’s a new year, I’ve got a…

  • Channeling the Tortoise.

    “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” Lao Tzu said that a long time ago, along with a lot of other really great things that I remind myself of whenever I’m feeling overwhelmed with the craziness that is life. This particular quote is a great way to encourage that moment on…

  • When Writing Moves to the Back Burner…

    Those of you who follow this blog will know that I was recently promoted in my field of work. It was a pretty big step up and, in this company, it’s usually a fast-track toward more promotions. They really weren’t kidding; I received some excellent news yesterday that I’m scheduled to attend their first management…

  • Kill Two Birds with One Click!

    For the Holiday Season, which is upon us in full swing despite the sad lack of snow outside of my window right now, you’ll have to forgive me a little bit of advertising. Or a lot more advertising to come, as I’m starting to try to get back into the swing of focusing on my…

  • Happy Birthday, Brian!

    ***Please note: the following post was written on December 8th, 2012. Due to certain factors (okay, okay, because I’m working too damn much…), I was unable to post this on that day. The date is very important, though, as you’ll see when you continue reading. Still, though that important day has past, I still feel…

  • Art Nouveau and Aryneth.

    One of the most notable after-effects of a trip to the Art Institute is that it never fails to inspire me to try my hand at art again. Now, writing has always been an obvious choice for me. I love it, I’m fairly good at it, I can’t imagine doing anything else with my life.…

  • ART!

    Yesterday, I gifted myself with a membership to the Art Institute of Chicago, one of my most favorite places in the world. It was surprisingly affordable, and I intend to take advantage of the membership on most of my days off from work. Like today. Shortly, I’ll be bundling up against the cold and making…
