LIFE is the first draft. Living to write, working to live…and keeping the dream alive. Back in Black (hey, it’s slenderizing…). February 3, 2012. Blogosphere, how I’ve missed you! Truly Although I know that’s an empty sentiment seeing as I haven’t even had the cajones to stop by and say hello for…oh, over a year now, I think. So, let’s get the awkward reunion over with, shall we? Ok, can we move on now and just assume that I’m forgiven? In the fraction of a second before I took a sharp left onto another ...

Alien Gestation and the 8-Year Itch | LIFE is the first draft

LIFE is the first draft. Living to write, working to live…and keeping the dream alive. Alien Gestation and the 8-Year Itch. May 25, 2010. August 3, 2010. My 36. Birthday. That is the deadline I have set for myself to finish this novel. And since I’m home from work, staring at the wall, for reasons out of my control, I might as well make myself useful. Fortunately, that didn’t last long before I wised up and started actually. Wait, don’t go. I can explain! The voices don’t tell me to skin people and eat t...

LIFE is the first draft. Living to write, working to live…and keeping the dream alive. Piloerection and Other Sadistic Instincts. June 8, 2010. Let me just say, the goose bump thing happens to me all the time, and I’ve never been able to figure it out. Why goose bumps when going from 110 degrees in the parking lot, to 130 degrees in the car? HOLY MOTHER OFwhoa, back it UP! The mercury just went off the charts! That’s not a temperature that can sustain human life, this thing must be broken! Or a cerebral ...

Making It Count | LIFE is the first draft
https://lifeisthefirstdraft.wordpress.com/2010/06/25/making-it-count
LIFE is the first draft. Living to write, working to live…and keeping the dream alive. June 25, 2010. This morning I wondered what I would do with my last days if I knew I only had a few weeks left. Would I take a whirlwind trip overseas, visit and meet my relatives in Iceland, tour some exotic land? Would I go to the beach, lounge in the sun and the sand, and reflect on life as I listened to the waves? Isn’t that kind of intensity so emotionally exhausting that it would become unsustainable over time?

LIFE is the first draft | living to write, working to live…and keeping the dream alive. | Page 2
https://lifeisthefirstdraft.wordpress.com/page/2
LIFE is the first draft. Living to write, working to live…and keeping the dream alive. A heartfelt dedication…. March 27, 2010. I haven’t written in a while, for various reasons which I will discuss forthwith (or when I get around to it). But in the meantime, something I heard on the radio this morning moved me so deeply I was inspired to write a dedication to my favorite succubus, in honor of her resignation. Without further ado, I offer this farewell song:. I pray your brakes go out runnin’ down a hill.

If you are ultra-sensitive to snobbery, please turn back now. I’m a published author. My book comes out in two months. Wow, that’s awesome! Oh, it’s a 300,000-word tome about drag queens on Mars. Mmmhm Okay, well, I’ll look for that on the shelves. To have it published. My family says it’s the next great American novel. Could you pass the cinnamon?

One white and one green, and one longer than the other, just so you can get the visual. And they don’t look fresh out of the box, if you know what I mean. Actually, doesn’t that sound like kind of an intriguing name? So maybe it was some sort of superheroincognito type personathing. ButI have no idea how. Or why. So maybe not. Anyway, he eventually g...
