Where I Wrote: The Time Warner Center. I know--I was there on Day 5. I actually went back to the exact spot where a wild Blogger appeared. I did not do this because I'm running out of places to write in. I did it specifically to reclaim that spot. If it was any other day, I... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo – Day 12: Too Perfect–Must Take Picture
Where I Seriously Barely Wrote: The New York Botanical Gardens in the Bronx. How I Feel About What I Wrote: Honestly, kinda meh. I will get it out there right off the bat that I'm not upset about how little I wrote. I am sure though that what I did write needs to be cut... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo – Day 11: My Best Writing Session… Ever?
Where I Wrote: Had a brief start at 135 East 57th and Lexington, in the atrium of the building that I still think of as Oscorp. After a short while, I migrated to my actual choice for the day, the Atrium Shops & Cafes at 54th and 3rd. How I Feel About What I Wrote: So good.... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNowriMo – Day 10: A Stark Contrast
Where I Wrote: Loreto Playground in the Bronx, a tiny park that's tucked into the suburbs and not easily accessible from any train. How I Feel About What I Wrote: Really, really good. I did not make quota today, but, after Day 9's lesson, I immediately made the changes to the sneaking segment I mentioned yesterday without... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo – Day 9: The Art of the Quick Recovery
Where I Wrote: I started in City Hall Park, but, when I needed to search for a restroom, I wound up walking back to South Street Seaport, where I found Cannon's Walk. How I Feel About What I Wrote: Really good, although, more than any other day, I was aware that what I wrote needs... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo – Day 8: Admitting Defeat
Where I Tried to Write: First I stopped by the NaNoWriMo write-in at Paragraph. Then it was on to a handful of places around Union Square before I gave up and went home. How I Feel About What I Wrote: I feel like I wrote exactly 20 words today. The Mood I Brought to the Table: A... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo – Day 7: Nearly Perfect
Where I Wrote: Another crawl (these are becoming the norm). I tried the City Bakery first but they were full. From there, I found a few spots on the High Line and then ended in Chelsea Market (that is, not in one of the restaurants in Chelsea Market, but a spot in the market's main... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo – Day 6: Breaking the Ritual
Where I Wrote: The laundromat down the street. And then, home. I immediately feel bad for not hitting somewhere interesting today, but I'll explain. How I Feel About What I Wrote: Fantastic. Today saw the moment where the last piece of the plot fell into place; I now have a full plot for Memory. And, thankfully, it all... Continue Reading →
Update: The Age of Submissions Already Sucks
I wasn't intending to do another update immediately; last weekend was the first weekend without Saturday morning cartoons, as you may have heard. That made this past Monday the perfect time to launch my Cliché Showcase series (I'm starting with cartoony villains). But when the time came, I just wasn't feeling it. Although I was excited to...

Update: It Starts
I thought I'd take a short, casual recess from the super intense posts to write an update about my work. For two weeks, the above Progress Bar has been glowing at the top of the site. It means that I've finished the content edit for my first book, War of Exiles, and that I'm incredibly... Continue Reading →
