Yesterday afternoon my school, Full Sail University, announced the release of it’s ninth volume of The Aviator, a literary e-journal comprised of student work. I had mentioned a few weeks back that The Aviator had accepted a few of my pieces, so I wanted to pass along the information for downloading the newest edition of…
So, today has started out pretty awesome, as I noticed that the school’s Online Newspaper and Student Resource, Connect, has picked up my article, “How I Tweeted My Way to a Great Logo!” Woohoo! Hope you enjoyed the excerpt! You’ll have to be a student/staff member to read the rest. 🙂 Optimistic it’s going to…
A good friend of mine posted a challenge in our writer’s group to try and emulate Ernest Hemingway’s 6-word story [For sale: baby shoes, never worn] by crafting our own story in less than 10 words. Everyone contributed some AWESOME [mostly sad, surprisingly] short stories. It’s impressive what you can do with a limited economy…
This is a photo I took while riding [as passenger] down I-4 on the way to the beach. It feels like it’s practically begging for a story to be written about it. I’m posting it now as inspiration – both for my readers and for myself. My goal is write a piece of flash fiction…
Since I’ve been inconsistent and sporadic with my posts the last month or so, I figured sharing a poem I wrote about inconsistency was fitting. Enjoy: In a lubricious world, I seek Stability.

Exciting! That puts me officially two away from being forced to fulfill a deal I made with myself: once I hit 20 publications [of any size or…
Last night, I was able to attend a live Q&A session with one of the most prestigious and well-known names in Hollywood: Oliver Stone. I found out about it last minute and basically clambered over myself to free up my schedule so I could attend. I skipped a kickball game, missed half of a live…
Today is the day! My piece of flash fiction, “Sticky Fingers,” was published today on Linguistic Erosion! Woohoo! That puts me at seventeen total publications. I promised myself that when I hit twenty publications – no matter how big or small they may be – I will start sending out the query letters for my…
With the end of Spring Break and the return to school, the inevitable chain-myself-to-my-desk routine of homework has commenced. It’s time to burn the candle at both ends, balancing school and work, and hope that the creative well can stand a bit more pumping. What a lot of people do not realize, though, is that…
So, I’m officially in the last three days of my Spring Break. I’ve been pleasantly lazy, working on absolutely nothing and getting to bed at a reasonable hour every night. I’ve enjoyed being unproductive, but I don’t want to end my Spring Break without accomplishing something, so I’m going to call on my followers here…
