I am very blessed to work for a company that truly has it’s priorities in the right place. In a bad economy, most organizations are focused on: “What can we do to improve the bottom line?” Where I work, they are focused on: “What can we do to elevate our employees?” As a result of…
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.

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…
