Sure, I could “work on myself.” Or I could fake my own death and start a new life at sea

Waited my entire life for Texas Tech to play in a game this big. Pretty disappointing so far, but not at all surprising.

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

You can pretend to have your shit together if you want. They don’t really check

Might finally be looking to join my first writers group sometime in 2026. If any of y’all have room for one more weirdo like me feel free to reach out.

Reminder that punk took off in the 70s and 80s in response to the reactionary, corporate-fuelled conservative agenda sweeping the West at the time. Punk always was and always will be antifascist.

The entirety of CHRISTMAS DINER is now available. You should try to listen sometime this week because ya know there’s a good chance you’ll be all Christmas’d out by next weekend. Six 20 minute episodes. A quick 2 hour listen. A few more thoughts and thank you’s before I put this series to bed:

Giving my enemies a knowing, judgmental look as they attack me

My dad just skipped through the intro credits for the original Naked Gun (you know, with the car driving through increasingly ridiculous scenes), and I died a little inside.

The Christmas Diner Finale just dropped!! The reception for this series has been unbelievable. Huge thanks to everyone who listened, to all the shows who were kind enough to share our pilot and to this awesome cast for bringing the story to life! Marathon the entire six episode series today!!🎄

I haven’t listened to this yet, but I will bc it has a great concept. I’d like to see if they bring in a 2nd great concept behind the main one, which, depending on execution, would turn this into an easy sale as a holiday screenplay. H’wood is always looking for holiday themed scripts. 👍

New Episode of CHRISTMAS DINER now available! The final episode got a little bit too big so I split it into 2 eps. Episode Six will be the finale and it will drop tomorrow morning. 🎄

Check out episode 1 on our feed today and then CHECk OUT THE REST BECAUSE IT'S SO GOOD!

DONE!

Realizing I should probably get around to making an account on here for all my shows.

Episode Four is now available! 🎄 This one features an appearance by the folks from @podcu.be as the Goblin Brothers. It’s time to listen. The Christmas Diner finale hits this week!

“In an effort to recapture his lost holiday traditions, an unstable man takes the patrons of a small town diner hostage on Christmas Day.” CHRISTMAS DINER. Coming this December.

My wrapped is really just a list of my toddler’s favorite songs of the year. Shoutout to Wax Fang for somehow beating How It’s Done.

What I actually enjoy: Writing Casting Scoring Scenes What I hate to do, but have to do in order to get to do the other three: Everything else

WRITING TIP, something simple but it catches many of us out: if you have a great/fun idea for your story, *use it now*. Don’t save your ideas for some nebulous other story you might write tomorrow. I promise you’ll have more. Break your story’s status quo. Go a step further. Use the big idea.

Every New Startup: We are here to revolutionize fiction podcasting. We are here to give indie fiction creators the support they need to make their shows a reality. Fiction Podcasters: The money we need to - ? Startup: No, not that that.

I was hoping whatever was bursting out of the guy's chest in Alien would be something nice

If you’re excited for “Queens of the Dead” and looking for something similar, I wrote a zombie comedy podcast mini-series for the Romero Foundation. its called “DEADASS” A group of stand up comedians are trapped in a club on the night of the zombie outbreak. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

did you know the Mountain Goats have a new album out today and you can buy it or stream it and dance to it in your living room or while driving or on the subway and it's a whole vibe? well now you know that 30tgrs.ffm.to/ttfafpb

one difficult thing with being a writer, especially one working on stuff you're releasing yourself or with minimal editorial guidance is: when are you done writing? when is it ready to release? to address that, I've developed a consistent editorial practice for myself. it looks like this:

Huge thanks to everyone for checking out the show. This one means a lot to me.

For Halloween I want to re-share this art @hvon.bsky.social did for Episode 4 of my mini-series “Deadass” on The Dead podcast last year. Its by far my favorite piece art based on something I’ve written. Happy Halloween, y’all. 🎃

Eight Halloweens ago I launched The Big Loop starring the incredible Tara Pratt. I have a new audio series premiering soon so until then thank you to everyone who listened!

I’d like to say there’s too much on my plate right now, but in reality this whole damn table is covered in clutter.

Happy Haunted Lizard Halloween. Got a new little episode up: may your spine be gnawed gently and slow today. open.spotify.com/episode/7uyC...

It’s looking like I’ll need to delay the Call for Story Submissions for “Someone Just Like You” Season 2 until sometime in Spring 2026. I was hoping to get things rolling next month, but the budgets for both time and money are really struggling right now.

There’s a big skeleton down the street from us and my toddler says “Hi Skeleton” every time we pass by it.
