A Writer Should Never Be Taken At Their Word

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

Last week, when I mentioned my upcoming projects and said I had nothing on my plate, a tinge of sadness and remorse came over me. It shouldn’t be this way. So in the seven days that followed, I picked up a string of projects and committed them to paper in the form of a checklist.

One, a personal, commercial venture that I’m not at liberty to announce.

One, a potential, collaborative, commercial venture, of which I can’t breathe a word.

One, an in-progress, collaborate, multimedia venture, which I can announce once we can agree on a working title.

And, I’ve started a book that I’m within two days of finishing, Title: TBA. I’ve decided to try my hand at children’s authorship. It’s a departure from basically everything I’ve done, but it’s cute and clever. Not horror masked as children’s, which is the recent trend.
That’s enough. I’ll write about one or more of these soon.

Impressions of Europe

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

I’ve recently returned from a stint in Europe. I spent one month in Italy, minus a day and a half in Switzerland. The trip was made for a short-term teaching job, but I found some time on weekends and after school to see a few sights. I put everything in Euro Pics 2.

If you’re curious about what I’m writing now, let me put your mind at rest. Nothing. The ideas are out there, I’m sure. Like scraps from a shipwreck, they’re floating on the surface, waiting to be tossed onto paper shores. I just hope not too many dead bodies come with it.

Pleasant Dreams
