It’s the first day of September and it’s a beautiful 70 degrees here in New York. So why did I drag out my Christmas Barbie, bake gingerbread and put A Charlie Brown Christmas in the DVD player? Well, Jeff and I are both working on short stories for an upcoming Xmas anthology and frankly, you [...]

Geek Out Takes a Break…
Friday April 13, 2007, was the first Friday Geek Out and over the next 117 weeks I’ve written about 101 movies, songs, shows, people, books, events…things that I am very passionate about. Over the weeks, there have been a few Fridays that I’ve skipped for one reason or another.

Neutral Zone: Rejected
After seeing all those inspiring Lammy nominees last night, I did the anti-award thing and got some (not totally unexpected) rejection today. I got my official “you weren’t selected” letter from the The Twenty-Sixth Annual Delacorte Press Contest for a First Young Adult Novel. From what the letter says, Neutral Zone was one of more [...]

Yesterday afternoon I took some time and went up to the 67th Street branch of the New York Public Library to attend a reading by five YA authors who took part in this week’s NYC Teen Author Festival.

This is the first [...]

“Writing should feel easy, like a monkey driving a speed boat / Close your eyes… breath… ladle into that barrel of monkeys you call a head and scoop out an image monkey / Now let that image monkey drive a speed boat, and you, you water ski behind it / Stay behind the image and [...]

Of course with the start of the new year comes the pondering of goals… along with how I did on last year’s goals.
Here’s the recap of ‘08:
