Alternate reality
I’m not a 13-year-old boy from Western Maine, but I pretended to be one on the internet. That sounds a lot worse than it really is. It wasn’t an undercover sting to flush out predators. It was part of an alternate reality game (ARG) run by Scribner to promote Under the [...]Thomas Sullivan: SEA LIONS IN COFFINS, GETTING LOST & WRITING WITHOUT WORDS
Pssst…me again. Thought I’d check in on you. See what kind of problems you got today. No problems? That’s a problem. You’re an adventurer, a thinker, a romantic, a thrillseeker — something in a Walter Mitty fantasy that needs an adrenaline feed. You need a problem. Well…to be precise, you need a problem and a [...]
But You’ve Never Been There!
I like to write about places I’ve never been to. It’s liberating, and it’s an experience that I recommend to other writers.
But wait a minute, you ask. Don’t you have to visit places you write about? Don’t you have to step on another country’s soil, smell the air, mingle with the inhabitants and interact with [...]
Researcher’s Hell
Now and then I sit back and contemplate the difference between myself and a few of the other writers I know. More often, I sit back and consider the differences between successful writers and those who haven’t yet reached published status. I need to clarify something here. When I say “published,” what I mean is [...]
Joyful Stress
Let me list for you some of my responsibilities.
I have a full-time job with a utility company, and while that job is staying, the location is moving… and me with it. Starting in a month, I can expect an additional sixty minutes added to my daily commute (thirty minutes each way.)
I am planning to be [...]

I don't get to start off every morning by shooting hot cocoa from my nose. Thanks for the wake-up! That was damn funny and it hurt.
Next thing you know, they'll be casting Ben Affleck to play Daredevil!
I've always heard rumors that Marvel tried this eons ago and then chickened out, leaving the remains to become Robocop. I don't know how accurate that is but this 'new' version definitely looks like it hits fairly true to tale we all know for Ironman.
Of course I will never be satisfied until Marvel recognizes the ultimate splendor that is Brother Voodoo! Wonder when that movie will come out...I mean they did Howard the Duck!
Bah humbug! lol

And then there's my origami classes. Nude. Yeah, it's a trip but a definite career path I think. If not, I'm gearing up for American Idol 2009.
Where can we find an upcoming Winkler Showcase? Good things on the horizon?
Did you hear they are bringing Captain America 'back'. It's going to be the Bucky they brought back from the dead. And the editor says that with this change Cap is more popular than he's been since the 1940's...during um, the actual war.
Someone give me their sleeve. I'm gonna cry.
But other than that, 2008 kicking some butt for ya?
David Sedaris is excellent! His writing seems effortless. Think Santaland Diaries is still my favourite story, and it never fails to make an appearance as a Christmas present for someone each year. I've heard his sister Amy is very good too, but haven't got round to reading her stuff yet.
Thanks for the comment!

Another year comes to a close and fresh starts kick in next week. Here's to story glory and deep creative rivers to fish in.
'Nuff Said!
I've been there a million times!!
