“I never want to see you again! Go away!” That’s what I told my main character today. I’ve got sore spots on my elbows and wrists from the writing, but I’ve also got 32,6oo words done on my novel in progress. For those who don’t know, this past week and the one before I dedicated [...]
The syncopated nature of freelance work means I occasionally have weeks with little work to do. So, in order for my novel in progress to stop being “in progress,” I decided to complete a rough draft by writing start to finish, 4 to 6 hours a day for two weeks. Week one = survived. Here’s [...]

Sometimes I forget about the title of my blog, but a recent foray onto 20 Something Bloggers (which I still qualify for, barely) reminded me, and a conversation with my roommate reminded me of one proof that the uncultured heathens have not yet reclaimed the world. Nobody throws away books. We give away books to [...]
Damn, I was about to write a post about readings at weddings but I have to run off to a meeting (Yes, just like a real person with a real job!) so for now I’ll just put up the post script, which I wrote first for some reason. p.s. I’ve actually finished the book in [...]
The bachelor party was a splendid good time, in case you were wondering, and yes, we caught tons and tons and tons of fish, almost enough for each of us to have one bite. This weekend is the wedding, so once again I’m a bit absent. However, I leave you with this: All my favorite [...]

Many thanks to those that came out to my reading last night. It has been regarded in the foreign and domestic media as a resounding success. There was, however, one complaint. I wore a natty outfit of tie and vest, and apparently my dapper look was so popular as to be distracting. I never realized [...]
Me! Reading! Tonight! I’ll be at the Baltimore Hostel tonight along with a group of other literary worthies. You ought to check it out, for reals. They have AC! 7pm.
Where do I come up with these titles? I’ve finally reached the end of A Room of One’s Own. I found it considerably harder to get through than “How Should One Read a Book?” A Room suffers from the fact that women have progressed so very far. Though sadly it is probably still pertinent to [...]
Some of you know, most of you don’t, sometimes even I wonder: What have I been doing with my life? Lately, I’ve been working on a novel. It’s a novel about doctors. Specifically it’s a novel about doctors who figure that since they’re so good at fixing things, why don’t they start fixing broken hearts. [...]
