Some times you eat the bar, sometimes the bar eats you.

I guess that's about all that goes into a day most of the time.

Job hunting sucks. I hate interviewing. Since I was 14 I've been unemployed for 2 months. There is a reason for that. There isn't a lot of middle ground. I can make more freelancing, but I end up without insurance(which...

New blurb is a story I wrote for this:

Very nice little exercise that I am very happy with. Scripts coming together, but have to take the weekend off. Chapbook coming off well also, submitting for competition, and starting on the next section of the epic. Novel is floating around my head, touching it here and there in places to see if it jerks,...

Doodly, doodly doodly.

Churning out script. Thinking of going for three by the end of the week. Not going to make it, but going to punish myself trying. it's the deep burn, cause I did so many.

Going to go lay down on the floor and stare at the ceiling now for a about ten minutes, then go to job #2, where I will not...

Hmm, hmmmmmm, hmmmm. Let's see,

saw the ex tonight. Emotionally trying.

Just spent the week with Mom helping her recover from surgery. Emotionally trying, strongly affirming need to refine work, get published, and lessen some financial burdens. Kind of a "tomorrow is not guaranteed to actually be here so do it now you wanky git" moment. Also has put me far behind on both the...

We try to swallow the sea in a single gulp to quench our being and inevitably fail to consider a place within ourselves for the tiny sips that sate, and we pour out the cup that's been filled with our humanity, wrung from the fruits of gesture, glance, and word, from conversations and infrequently attained moments still and silent in which the breath alone keeps...

The problem with novels is they do not write themselves the fucking wanky bastards. Thankfully house-sitting for people offers solitude and seclusion. Good times to come!

This is the part of the blog where I post a link to a column by a writer I'm a fan of where he talks about his comic con NY 2008 experience, and he comes right out and tells you that I am a fan of his, which is true as you know since I have just mentioned this. Here:

There is a black hole in my sinuses, a small one, but only through sheer force of will does my head not explode. Working from home today means I get to work on my webcomic. Go about your day, but go about resolutely, don't half-ass it.

And even Neil Gaiman worries about teaching, and he's just a writer. I have a teaching degree, so what...

Chep Changer's Poor Impulse Control

My new blog, featuring my new comic, starring myself, and my alter ego. It's not about me, it about my.

Chep Changer is everything I am not, curly haired, mulleted, mustached, jean short and sandal wearing. Plus he walks around in goggles. Should be good for a lark. It will feature guest appearances by my family, my other comic creations,...

Odley hodely doodly, sometimes you're in it and sometimes you're out, and the rest of the time you're stumbling along trying not to trip over your own damn feet. Not wearing shoes helps, but its new york, and that option requires a natural immunity to tetanus, which is difficult to test for, but the collection of nails found in the gutter is growing and we...
