My Book is Alive!!! (well, live on Amazon)

I’m happy! I was feeling a little behind on my writing goals, so I today I buckled down, finished formatting my book and uploaded to Amazon! That was a shot in the arm! I still have a good deal of work to get the paperback out the door, but for now it feels like I’veContinue reading “My Book is Alive!!! (well, live on Amazon)”

The Post

Well, here it is — The Post. Now, for my part I promise you it is the only one of its kind. I’m not going to keep harping on this. But I’m also going to speak very clearly and forcefully right now. This post is about stealing. Specifically, illegal steaming and downloading. For the record, it’sContinue reading “The Post”

Higher Levels of Kinship and Inspiration

Today we have a special treat for you; a guest post by rising lit star Rob White! I love Rob’s ‘The Pull’ series and he is a passionate contributor to the Athens Writers Association. Enjoy! When I started writing back in 1994 I did so in my parents’ basement. I was a solitary kid despite havingContinue reading “Higher Levels of Kinship and Inspiration”

I’m releasing my first book, How To Come Alive: A Guidebook To Living the Life of Your Dreams in October and I wanted to share the cover with you. It was made by the talented Sarah Cerulean (my sister). The book is coming along nicely and will be available in e-book and paperback formats. ItContinue reading “Cover for My First Book!”

Are You Willing to Look Like a Fool for Your BIG Dream?

Would you be willing to fall flat on your face while moving toward your dreams? Because honestly, if you would not, I don’t see you making it in the long run. Harsh? Yes, very. But I believe more and more that the fear that stops most people is only born of a desire to alwaysContinue reading “Are You Willing to Look Like a Fool for Your BIG Dream?”

A Writer’s ‘Most Enjoyable’ TV Shows List

I put the question of this ‘top ten’ to my sister, with the stipulation of ‘most enjoyable’. The reason was not to exclude hard-to-watch dramas but rather to alleviate the fears that one would have in creating a BEST list. So this is really about my favorites, not the ones I believe should be onContinue reading “A Writer’s ‘Most Enjoyable’ TV Shows List”

“You Can’t Get Firefly by Rebooting Bonanza.”

My sister Sarah said the above quote and I thought it was so true. We live in a swirling media storm of sequels, re-boots, re-imaginings, prequels, adaptations, updates, and spin-offs. Our summer movie slates are full of sequels and three-quells and our fall movie schedules are full of play and book adaptations. The new seasonContinue reading ““You Can’t Get Firefly by Rebooting Bonanza.””

Is ‘Release Day’ an Outdated Term for Self-Published Books?

I am planning the release of my first book at the end of the month and I have a problem — I don’t have a burning desire to email everyone I’ve ever met, Tweet 24-7 about my “GREAT DEAL! ON AMAZON! CHEEP!”, or prime my fans to buy it on day one or else, I’llContinue reading “Is ‘Release Day’ an Outdated Term for Self-Published Books?”

Welcome to September — Start Your Engines

Awesome author Catherine Ryan Howard (who you should be following) said, “But what I really love about September is that it’s a fresh start, a perfect little package of time between now and New Year’s Eve in which you have every chance of achieving your goals and sauntering smugly into 2014 with a smile on your face.Continue reading “Welcome to September — Start Your Engines”

Warning! You are Living in the Pop Culture Moment of Your Dreams

I just realized this year that we are living in the kind of time and place we are going to annoy those younger than us about for the rest of our lives. Now, I know summer movies haven’t been that great. I almost didn’t write this because of that. But, I believe the ups areContinue reading “Warning! You are Living in the Pop Culture Moment of Your Dreams”
