GAMES OF THE ONLY CHILD

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

So, here we are on the first day of Blog Every Day April! I am very excited by the number of people who are participating . . . so many people who are signing on to write (or film) something EVERY SINGLE DAY this month. For example! My friends Charlieissocool, Alex “Nerimon” Day, and John [...]

THE CORNER OF DEATH

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

Right before I left New York, I noticed that the annual “street fair of death” had come to my neighborhood again, with it its questionable, rickety rides designed to thin out the population, one carnival ticket at a time.

In my last post, I asked you if you had any questions about books. Today, I have tried to answer just a few of the questions that came in. They were all excellent, but I ended up going on and on and on about a few. Feel free to chime in! Everyone can chat in [...]

Friday, June 27th, 2008

It’s nearly the end of June, which means that (at least where I am) the days are long and very hot . . . and for some reason, this brings out the MOVIE BUG in many of us.
I was sitting here with Spencer Martin of Suite Scarlett fame (he says hi). The Hopewell doesn’t have [...]

ROXY STUDIOUS

Saturday, June 21st, 2008

Regular readers of this blog may notice that I’ve gone slightly off the rails again! Yes, I am in a huge DEADLINE HOLE, finishing up work on the first draft of Suite Scarlett 2.
Before I tell you this week’s exciting story, let me get a whole bunch of business out of the way—because just because [...]
