As we discussed at length last week, Script Frenzy has been cancelled and I was annoyed but I've come to peace with it. But when one door closes, another opens and I'm excited to keep the Screnzy alive unofficially through Camp NaNoWriMo. But before we get to that, I...
By now most of you will have heard the news but for those that haven't: Script Frenzy has been cancelled. I promised you back in this post that we'd discuss this more and I haven't yet because, frankly, the whole thing leaves a terrible taste in my mouth. I still love...
While I've got a couple of posts about Script Frenzy the event coming up, I wanted to pop in to quickly let you guys know that The Office of Letters and Light is having a crazy clearance sale of everything Script Frenzy related. This is the very last chance to get...
I was in a chat with my NaNoWriMo gang this past November when my buddy Rich started asking me if I'd be aiming for 500,000 words again in 2013. I started to hem and haw about how I hadn't decided yet, what with not knowing what it would be like with a new baby and...

I've mentioned before how truly awesome it is to be a writer in this digital age and see your fans and readers talking about your book or play in real time. Well, look what I found on Twitter: Talk about a tweet! (I blotted out all the identifying details because the...
I don't have a lot of occasion to look at the Amazon page for The Love of Three Oranges since copies are no longer sold there. When I did happen to glance at it recently (mostly because I was trying to figure out how people get off selling copies for $300+ when they...

I was savvy with computers at a young age (which is especially impressive when you consider that the average person didn't even have a computer back when I was young). Not only did I know the basics, my dad also taught me some basic computer programming as a child...
