I was very pleased to find out that the school’s Connect site ran the article I submitted to them a few weeks ago on this morning’s blog. Woohoo! That is officially my 16th publication since I’ve started sending out my work in July 2012, so I’m feeling pretty excited for what the future holds in…
Sometimes, God blesses you with one of those days that reminds you why you get up in the morning. A day that makes not hitting the snooze button a fourth time and crawling out of your bed a worthwhile decision. A day that falls into your lap, gift-wrapped and pristine, after weeks of hard work,…
I feel a tiny bit hypocritical this evening, as I am postponing doing my homework so that I can blog about procrastination. Especially considering my homework includes reading a textbook that preaches the value of planning, organizing, and prioritizing your workflow so that I/you/we can write a script in 21 days. Whoops. I’ve discovered that…
WHEW! Sorry I haven’t posted in a few days, guys and gals! I started a new class on Monday, a Writing Workshop for Film/TV, and it has kept me BUSY!

I submitted an excerpt of my novel to the University’s literary magazine, The Aviator, for consideration of publication a few months back. They accepted it and the newest volume of the magazine has…
This morning, I sat down at my desk and committed myself to focus on my homework for class. This is the final project, the culmination of our studies on publishing and distribution. In case you haven’t been following the blog for the past few weeks, I had to come up with a new project and…
Tomorrow I will be attending an eight hour workshop, sponsored by Burrow Press, at Urban ReThink here in Orlando. The focus of the workshop will be the art and craft of writing short stories. Writing short stories has been challenging for me for several reasons: For one, I’m verbose. Extremely verbose. I could spend pages…
Yesterday evening, I had the unique pleasure of getting to help out a friend and support a good cause. My friend, Jeff, and his girlfriend are looking to start a nonprofit organization called Project: Perfect Timing. The goal of the program will be to encourage abstinence among today’s youth and to look to establish healthy…
