What Consumes You?
I recently wrote about the effort many writers spend in pursuit of getting people to know they exist...how the race to create a "platform" or "brand" trumps actually writing for some. It's a pretty simple formula: spend a lot of time totally … [Continue reading]
A Busy Weekend
This weekend (Sunday), I'm speaking at Emerging Tech Conference Dallas. Sunday at 1:00, I'm talking about the Benefits of Sequential Content. If you're in the area and looking for something to do this weekend, you can do much worse than coming to … [Continue reading]
The Effort of It All
When the effort involved in getting people to know your writing exists becomes almost as much as the writing itself (or more), is it really worth it? What have we lost when we constantly update Facebook and Twitter at every free moment instead of … [Continue reading]
The Busiest Month
For some reason, May and June always seem to be the busiest months for me as a writer. This June is no exception; in fact, it's probably busier than most. I'm definitely earning the title "Juggling Writer" this month. Here's what's going … [Continue reading]

William Shatner’s The Captains
I'm a Star Trek fan by default. My earliest memories of the original series are from when I had chicken pox and spent a couple weeks being watched by my grandmother. My mom's mom remarried, and the man she married was simply known to me as Pop -- … [Continue reading]

I think the first Chris Ware comic work I saw was in Jab Comics Anthology (not to be confused with the adult comic), in the early 90s. (His little potato guy strips.) Some time after that, it was Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth and all that … [Continue reading]
Women and Men (And Fiction)
This morning on Twitter, Michael Magras asked what "Fiction for men," is supposed to mean. It's perhaps a bit of a rhetorical question, as well as a way of saying, "I read much more than what is deemed 'fiction for men.'"(From what I've seen, … [Continue reading]
