Novels! More novels!

It's incredible what happens when you clean your desk. A new sense of purpose! Direction! Etc! I'm one week into the Max Barry novel workshop and enjoying it immensely. It's made me realize I have quite a few books in my head, a good sign. Max has published four books, but written nine. So, there's hope for everyone. I'm rewriting Hit and Run (outside of the workshop) and using the workshop to finish a fun project called Angel Falls. Once it's out of draft mode, I'll post more about it. It could be the start of a series of books (unrelated except for location and a few characters). I've also got a couple of stories in my head to follow up. One is a near-future SF book and one is a historical horror novel about Sawney Bean. Look him up, interesting guy, interesting family...

Between helping on wedding photoshoots, websites, writing, and school, I think I'm the best kind of busy I can be.

Hey! It's September!

Here's what's been happening in life:
Firstly, the big huge website news: I just finished launching a newly redesigned RocklineRadio.com - it's a nationally syndicated radio show where people can call in to interview famous rockers. I actually got to sit in studio for a live Queensryche performance - awesome. Anyway, check it out, vote on the polls, etc. Tell me if you see any bugs.

Even cooler news: Back at Comic-Con, I asked Ken Knudtsen (of "My Monkey's Name is Jennifer" fame) if he could do some artwork for SurfMonkey Designs for me. Things are coming along nicely, and it's going to be a HUGE relaunch for that site soon, so it'll have its own unique design - you'll love it!

Aleks landed a wedding job in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, so in November we'll be vacationing/working in the sun! I'm really excited about the trip.

I just finished a travel writing class at MediaBistro, and came out of it with an article worthy of publication (I hope) which I'll be querying editors with this week. To top it off, I'm starting a writing intensive with none other than Max Barry in one week! My life just keeps getting crazier and more hectic, and I love it!

One of the things we talked about in the travel writing class is doing daily half hour writing, something I could certainly put this blog to better use for. There's so much going on with politics, life in California, and I need to keep my fingers moving on the keyboard.

Here's a fun video to entertain you this week: the majestic comedy of the Meyer Bros.
