From the emails I’ve gotten, I know you’ve noticed a lack of updates here recently. Why the drought? I’ve been focused on writing. With this being primarily an art site, I don’t tend to update as much when I’m enveloped by writing projects. Continue reading →

It’s been over a decade since I wrote a finished screenplay. Although I know I have little-to-no chance at pursuing screenwriting as a serious career, the fact is that it’s my preferred writing format. It’s what I learned writing with.
