Guys, life has been crazy. CRAZY BUSY! I know, I'm confused by that too. I realized that I was so busy somehow that I never posted my last race report. Such a shame because I put together this killer video for it. So, sorry for no actual report but p… more »

Yesterday I got about 4 rapid spam comments on my blog. Whenever this happens I get an email to my phone saying, “NEW COMMENT!” My heart leaps until I read that it is a spam bot giving me a vague few sentences about how well researched my posts are and t… more »

And. She. Is. BACK! Okay, guys I have been gone for about a month. Where have I been? I have been marathon training and writing. Aaaaand that's about it. The marathon training isn’t too eventful. I run. The end. Writing wise I’ve been working… more »

What does that mean to you gentle readers? It means that you are going on an adventure with me called Script Frenzy. It is like National Novel Writing Month but it is with a script and it starts on April 1st. I will sit down for 30 days and write a 100 page script of epic awesomeness. This sounded SO much easier in February. I was batting the idea around and finally decided a few weeks ago that I would try it out. I kind of have a plot, I kind of have an idea but I am…. more »

I am flawed guys. I will wait for you to finish gasping, fainting and losing faith in all that is real. It’s true, guys. I have a flaw. Let me explain a few things first before I spill my shame all over the internet. I once saw a commercial… more »

I have been looking for a second job and I really think being a diluted rock star would really accent my resume well. Now don’t get me wrong, I am all for garage bands and rock music but not at the hands of these skinny, emo, white boys who have nothing in the world to complain about. Besides, there is no reason to scream into a microphone that is already cranked all the way up. You are performing in a room barely bigger than two moderately sized apartments. I think that the Mexican restaurant next door has had just enough off tempo bass hits from one evening. more »

I bet you are all wondering how NaNoWriMo turned out for me this year. Well you must wait no more! I received a congratulatory email from the site a few moments ago and figured I had kept the world waiting long enough. (Unless you follow me on Twitter, in which case, you already know.)Spoiler alert: I won! Break out the party hats! I will say that this year was almost a little more difficult than previous years. I am not sure why but it was a bit more, what’s the word… Agonizing. That would be my summary of NaNoWriMo 2009: Hell on earth. This seemed to be the case for many of my writing buddies. While we were all excited and ready to go, somewhere around the 15th we all lost steam. My story this year dealt with a lot of very deep concepts and social commentary so it was hard to write out with the power it deserved every day. more »

I am knee deep in planning and plotting for National Novel Writing Month. This year, in response to a question for the previous post, I will be writing about a world ruled by women. It shall be my feminist manifesto and/or my twisted version of Amazon women meets 1984. To get ready for this I did one of my favorite things. I got in the car, drove to Staples and bought myself a think, college ruled, emerald green notebook. Now let me be clear about this. Where many people feel a rush from a new book, an old book, new car smell, starting tiny fires, etc… I get a rush from a new notebook. Two hundred pages of blankness. A fresh silver spiral binding. Perforated edges that will rarely be utilized. All just waiting for ideas. Notebook shopping was my favorite part of back to school shopping. Screw pens, glue and tissue boxes. I just loved combing the aisles looking at the different choices. College ruled? Composition? Flowers? One subject of five? And of course the yearly thought, “Is Lisa Frank still in business?” more »

NaNoWriMo (aka National Novel Writing Month) is an event held every year for the last 11 years where writers sit down and crank out 50,000 words of plot driven madness. That’s 30 days of writing. Roughly 1667 words a day. Those numbers don’t look like much until you get right into it. Nothing ruins Thanksgiving quite like being 3,000 words behind with a horrid case of writers block. I started doing NaNoWriMo about 6 years ago and last year was the first time I had ever finished. December 1st was a wonderful day because I woke up with a novel under my belt. Of course the last 5 years I had tried doing comedy, horror, fan fiction, etc. Tried them all and failed them all. Why? Different reasons each year. School work, college, marching band, and the self explanatory “Bringing SexyBack from the Dead: An NSync Zombie Love Story.” more »
