  • Friday Night Drabble Party!

    It’s time for a Party!

    I know y’all missed the Drabble last week. Sorry, but things got all kinds of crazy as I was going over the final edits on Z-Burbia 6: Rocky Mountain Die. Stay tuned for the release announcement on that one.

    But, since we are on the subject of missed Drabble Parties, I want to make sure y’all know that it is summer time which means there is usually a hiatus for the FNDP. While I won’t officially be pausing the drabbles this summer, just know that there could easily be gaps. Especially during July whilst I am on vacation for two weeks.

    Just a little heads up, yo!

    Now, how’s about some sweet, sweet, sweet micro-fiction?

    Enjoy!

    He Never Had
    By

    He downshifted into second, but took the corner too fast. The tail end of the Mustang whipped out, a horn blared, he didn’t give a shit. He never had.

    His foot slammed down on the accelerator as his right hand shifted back up into third. His left foot depressed the clutch then let it out again. Every movement of the dance happened in a breath’s time, simultaneous.

    He glanced in the rearview mirror and saw the car behind him made the corner easily, barely a wobble or skid.

    They said he couldn’t race Death, but fuck if he didn’t try.

    Cheers!

  • Writing In Suburbia #4: Be Your Social Media Self

    It’s another week which means there is another episode of Writing In Suburbia!

    This week I jabber about social media and how much I really dislike the rules that have been forced on to people when it comes to what you can and cannot do as a writer. Or even as a person. I do my ramble rant thing.

    I also talk a little about AntiBio 2 and why you need to leave a review if you’ve read it!

    Check it out.

  • Writing In Suburbia #3: Hippie Dippy Mind/Body Sh*t

    Hello!

    Time for a new podcast episode of Writing In Suburbia! This episode is all about taking care of your body, as well as your mind, because pro writing is a marathon, people, not a sprint.

    I also go off a little about how sick I am of bigots on Facebook. They suck.

    Enjoy!

  • Friday Night Drabble Party!

    Tonight’s drabble party is postponed. There are several reasons.

    I need to work my ass off on Z-Burbia 6: Rocky Mountain Die.

    Also, tonight is the kick off for the Asheville 48 Hour Film Project. I’ve participated with Team Long Shot three years running and we’ve won the Audience Award for our group three years running. You can read the screenplays and watch the short films here. I’m trying to get myself mentally prepped for this.

    But my last reason there’s no drabble tonight is that one hundred words can’t express what I’m feeling right now as I watch yet another act of extreme racist violence get turned into an “isolated” incident. There aren’t enough words and at the same time I don’t even have the words to say what needs to be said. Better people are expressing it out there. So I will let them.

    But I will say it’s time for everyone to do what is right. No matter the cost. Do what is right. And if you don’t know what that is then make the effort to find out. This isn’t about sides or opinions. It’s about right and wrong and what happened was wrong. That is a truth. That is an absolute. You can’t spin this anymore, America. You just can’t.

     

  • Writing In Suburbia #2: Death By Taxes!

    Howdy, Y’all!

    Time for another episode of Writing In Suburbia. This week’s episode is about the importance of paying attention to your taxes. Seriously.

    Of course, I make the topic fun. No, I don’t. That’s a lie. Taxes are never fun. But they are important. Have a listen. It could save you some heartbreak and headaches.

    Also, I mock John Green for being in Paris. Not really. Good for John Green being in Paris. I envy that bastard some days.

    And, since this is about everyday life, I explain the importance of mowing my lawn. Good times.

    Feel free to comment or send in questions via email or tweet. Word!

    Enjoy!
