I cannot believe it's March already! Here’s what February 2016 looked like in writing… Yearly Goal 150,793/600,000 words (25%) Monthly Goal Planned to take half this month off so I didn't set a goal other than to not fall behind (which I very nearly did anyway but...
I've got a brand new book out today in eBook and paperback, NaNo What Now? Finding your editing process, revising your NaNoWriMo book and building a writing career through publishing and beyond, and you may be wondering if this book is for you. To give you a better...
Three Padded Walls, a play I originally wrote in high school and rewrote last year, will be a part of Dimensions presented at The Bridge Theater on February 20th and February 21st. This is the first production of one of my shows in NYC since Columbia Prep did The Love...

I had some experience with a quote from The Love of Three Oranges going somewhat viral a few years ago but it was nothing like what happened with this line from my play, New Year's Thieve. Shortly after the play was released last year, I was seeing it everywhere......
This is a total cheat of a blog post that I'm writing in December 2016 because I realized that I totally forgot to do a recap post for December 2015 and I want it here with all the rest for closure. As such, I'll keep it super short. Keep in mind as you read that my...
