Life since my last update: My youngest sister had her baby! She then got married Which happened just a few days after my uncle’s funeral And while I was besieged by The Plague, requiring that I communicate via whiteboard. I have not been writing much (which has a lot to do with the lack of […]

Selfish
I have been incredibly selfish lately, and it’s only going to get worse until the show’s over. I haven’t made the time to spend with family that I really ought to and I avoid committing to plans so I won’t feel too guilty when I flake at the last minute. The Flighty Artist is about […]
Things I Am Looking Forward To:
Performing Shakespeare at Fort Knox Next week when Julius Caesar is over and I have enough time and brain-space to return to my less-irregularly scheduled blogging Crossing things off my mile-long to-do list (after the show run ends) Finishing this novel rewrite so I can make more headway on my to-read pile and work on […]
Still Alive
. . . Great. Now I have that song from Portal stuck in my head. I just typed and scheduled two posts for Anxiety and desperately need to squeeze in some writing time before sleep takes over, but if I don’t post here, it could be another three weeks before I resurface. Performances start in less […]
Not All Here
It’s official: when I am going on a project, social/communication capacity is the first to go. There’s only so much I can do at once, and writing takes an amazing amount of processing power. My phone calls are shorter, fewer, and farther between. Facebook and Twitter posts become fewer and even more sporadic. Emails are […]
The Phoenix Effect
There’s something about retiring the old calendar and starting a new year. There’s an inherent sense of rebirth: a new year, new possibilities, new goals, new plans… Or maybe that’s just me. I’m the sort of person who has a hard time looking back over the past year, seeing the highlights and lowlights. (Though some […]
Here I Go Again
I know, I know. I seem to be making a blog for every new project. (Just be glad every novel and short stories isn’t jumping on the bandwagon!) After The End (you know — that post-apocalyptic web series/film project I mentioned last time) now has a blog: Follow the link to a special rabbit hole! […]
Art Goes Multi-Media
I’ve been informed my last post was…cryptic. Something needed to go up, and the only thing in my head was the new project. And it was so new and big and scary that I couldn’t post about it here. I’ve calmed since then. Just a little. I’m telling this story in a different medium. That’s […]
Sad Excuse For A Post
I meant to make a different post entirely, but I have spent the last week doing such a perfect impression of the stereotypical flighty artist. A new obsession has claimed me. It’s a project I’m so afraid of jinxing, I can’t even post about it here. It’s nerve-wracking, and amazing, and intense. No idea what […]
Where I Want To Be
Four days back from World Fantasy Con. Still haven’t quite figured out how to blog about it, because it was just that amazing. My advice to anyone going for the first time, like I did: go by yourself or with someone who has attended before. If I hadn’t been alone, I might never have stepped […]
