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 →
Time To Get Back To Drawing
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 →
Fun With Fast Food: Bagel Edition
So, I've been wondering what to do with this blog space for a while, and I've made up my mind.

Writing Against The Clock
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.

Finger Lickers!
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 →

A Note On Pricing
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 →

Can you give THIS up for one month?
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 →

Serialized Fiction: Our New Experiment
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 →
Writing About Writing
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 →
