I am writing a rather unusual book. It’s a collection of short stories written from the perspective of inanimate objects. I’ve already got a handful written … One is a tree, another an old house, another a shadow … Here’s where you come in: Think up an object and suggest it in the comments below or on my Facebook page. …
Thanksgiving, Christmas, Black Friday, and Zombies
This was my first year hosting Thanksgiving at our house, and as such, it is also the first time I undertook the roasting of a turkey by myself. Of course, I’ve made chicken, pot roast, porch chops, and things like that before, but they don’t quite prepare one for pulling an 8 inch featherless neck out of the cold slimy …
Once Upon A Time Gets Sci-Fi & Spooky!
Waking up next to this beautiful baby girl is always the highlight of my day. If she’s not peacefully sleeping like a little angel, she’s kicking and giggling and smiling at me with wide blue eyes and rosy cheeks. It’s been a while since my last blog so I thought I’d fill you in on Once Upon A Time album …
What To Do This Weekend? Join A Top Secret Posse. (You Know You Want To)
I’m scouring the earth for awesome posse members. We’ll meet on Skype once or twice a month to brainstorm ideas for how to build my music up and review progress. Posse members may also help with simple tasks like collecting information about cool magazines, radio stations, and sharing music videos on Facebook and Twitter. Posse members will have exclusive pre-release …
My Ingenious, Creative, & Slightly Nefarious Plot To Take Over The World!
Here’s What We Know: My music is most popular with people who love literature, art, theater, culture, attending posh events like house concerts and wine tastings, and giving patronage to charities such as museums, art galleries, and performing arts societies. They still buy physical albums and collect “special editions” of their favorite CDs, books, and films. Another random fact: They …
Sadness & Joy, Loss & New Life, Memories & Looking to the Future …
Today is very emotional and nerve-wracking for me. This afternoon is my last doctor appointment before Elowyn is born. Unless I go into labor naturally pretty soon, we will induce on Thursday. While I’m excited … no … thrilled at the prospect of holding my baby girl and introducing her to her daddy and the rest of our family, the …
My Bucket List
My fellow bloggess, Leslie Carter, recently challenged her readers to make a bucket list. I’ve always thought of a bucket list as a before-you-kick-the-bucket-to-do-list … which … technically it is. But in this case, it’s just an epic to-do list I hope to complete before 2013. Anyway, I suppose one never knows when one is going to “kick the bucket” in …
Guard Your Heart: When To Kill A Facebook & A Friendship
Having worked in the entertainment industry and media for over a decade, I have a diverse group of friends. Creative people tend to have creative beliefs and often enjoy creative behaviors. My Facebook page – which I often use for networking – is a microcosm of the diverse and artsy world in which I live. There are liberals, conservatives, Buddhists, …
Pregnancy & A Facebook Exodus
Screenplay writer Norah Ephron (When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle) once said, “If pregnancy were a book they would cut the last two chapters.” That is impeccably true. The 8th month of pregnancy is about as pleasant as having the flu. The 9th month of pregnancy is like having the flu when you’re supposed to be on vacation. I …
