The Daily-ish Journals of Writer, Cartoonist David W. Wright
OK, this is ridiculous. I thought it wouldn't be until my son was in high school that he'd have homework that stumped me. Turns out his kindergarten assignment was all it took. Yes, I was confused by work assigned to a kindergartener. I'm going to post a copy of it below. I'm curious how YOU... Continue Reading →
I'm not sure how long you've been following me, but before I was writing books to scare the crap out of you, I was a cartoonist. Cartooning actually led me back into writing, which is a kind of a cool story. I started a comic strip back in 1999 or 2000, back in the early... Continue Reading →
So, I've been wondering what to do with this blog space for a while, and I've made up my mind. Over the past few years, I've been trying to segregate all of my different interests across several websites and blogs. At one point or another I've had: a humorous daddy blog a comics blog where...

Do you find yourself getting distracted a lot while trying to get in your word count for the day? This is something I've struggled with a lot. Distractions can come in many forms, and they always start out innocently enough. I'm waiting for an email, so I check the inbox so often. But rather than... Continue Reading →
I suppose I should mention right up front that I've got OCD and am quite germ-phobic. So, maybe I'm a bit hypersensitive to such things, but I can't help but notice a trend at the grocery store I go to. It seems that the cashiers enjoy spreading germs all over everything I buy. OK, maybe... Continue Reading →
You know how those Apple ads make everything sound so fancy? Cult of Mac linked to a funny video, embedded below. And here's two cool trailer for the upcoming Bethesda game, Dishonored.

Stop what you're doing, cancel your plans tonight, and tune into NBC for the premiere of a new show called "Awake." I saw a sneak preview of the first episode on NBC on Demand, and loved it! I could go on telling you how awesome it is, but why not show you the video that... Continue Reading →

I appreciate your help. We were THISCLOSE to choosing Number 4, (one of the red covers) but you spoke here, on... Continue Reading →
So, our post-apocalyptic serial Yesterday's Gone proved that serialization could work. Now we're gonna try a different genre -- Young Adult paranormal/dark fantasy with a romantic storyline. The book is called ForNevermore and comes out Tuesday. And of course I'm going down to the wire with cover designs. Here's a few of the finalists chosen... Continue Reading →
Recently, a reader wrote a comment about our pricing which I need to address: "I am very disapointed that future individual episodes will be $2.99 each as opposed to $0.99. I can see paying $6.00 for the book via kindle, but $18.00 is WAY TOO MUCH for the six episode packages. Even Stephen King doesn't... Continue Reading →

So, I'm on day five of my month-long no-sugar diet, and on Superbowl Sunday, no less. A day normally devoted to excess in which I'd indulge in pizza, chips, and maybe top it all off with ice cream.How did I do?Today's SuperBowl Sunday was brought to you by Turkey Burgers and a banana.I've done well...

My stomach is growling. My leg is shaking. I keep looking around for something I can't find. I can't think straight. I feel like an addict going through withdrawals, eager for a fix. Except the drug isn't heroin, crack, or any number of pills. It's Captain Crunch... and cookies. and ice cream. and white bread.... Continue Reading →
(note: There's no spoilers in this post, to make it safe for people who are not yet caught up on this season's Dexter.) I used to love you, Dexter. You were the date I couldn't wait for each week. I'd look forward to the ways you'd thrill me, surprise me, and leave me hanging, and... Continue Reading →
I've always loved serialized fiction. From TV shows like Cliffhangers to comic books, to the Star Wars movies (the ones in the 70s and 80s), to Stephen King's brilliant series, The Green Mile, if you leave me hanging, I'll love you all the more! Hell, I even liked soap operas, and used to write serialized... Continue Reading →
I've been thinking a lot about what I want to write here. I know I initially said I'd be doing rants, commentary on pop culture, and other random stuff. But the more I've thought about it, the less I want to write those things. At least not on a regular basis. While those things are... Continue Reading →
When it comes to blogging, we often present one side of ourselves. Our best version aimed at particular niche. Here, I'm looking to change that. Hi, my name is David W. Wright. I’m the co-author of the serialized cliffhanger series Yesterday’s Gone and a new breed of vampire thriller Available Darkness. For the past few... Continue Reading →
