WeWritten - A Blurb

I realized this morning that I haven't been posting my new podcast on the website, which is one part stupid and one part due to stress brought on by unrealistic expectations. Enough of that.

Observe the following! WeWritten in its thus far accumulated glory.

Truth: I love this series so far, which is far more than I usually say about my own work. I'm gravitating toward the primary reason being that it forces me to open up and write about and in ways that I don't usually. LONG WINDED AS FUCK.

If you don't know, WeWritten is a collaborative serialized story told from different perspectives of different characters/narrators each week. Some weeks might be a recurring character/narrator. So far I've been the only one reading, obviously.

The short of the why I'm doing this is that I usually feel under-represented as an artist, and that there are very few opportunities for artists to get their work out there. Thus I am doing what I can to facilitate my dreams and help other artists at the same time. Together we are unstoppable and all that.

So take a second, take a listen and tell your friends! For real, spread it around if you like this to people you know so I can get some money for working my ass off! That money will go to help other artists, to get better equipment, to afford food! All things good!

WeWritten is also available on YouTube and iTunes. Subscribe! Do it. I'll only spam the absolute hell out of you, which is totally high art!

Have the best day you've ever had!

Project Podcast

I've wanted to do a serialized story for a while. Jeff suggested I do a podcast. I like Jeff. I listen to Jeff. Jeff knows how to life correctly. So I'm going to do a podcast.

I now need a name for the podcast. More on that in a minute.

The purpose of said cast-pod is to do a serialized fiction story, one chapter a week. Easy to do. Guest writers would contribute a chapter and be promoted through the cast. Swag would most likely be involved because I love swag. Love it.

This really comes down to producing.

VOW - I will assist in the creation / coming to fruition of the dreams of my compatriots. Producing the work of artists and celebrating their talent and fabulous, delicious brains.

PS. I'm sitting across from a local writer who I went to college with who is amazing. Forgetting her name, but I am always elated when I see her on a website/promo. I usually catch her at Back Fence PDX. Probably should learn her name. She dated a friend of mine a while back. Not the point.

I have this tendency (because I'm fucking human and have a brain that is determined to explode of its own free will and obsession), this tendency to complicate my projects for myself -  think too hard. You know! You've been there. I think it's funny that when I think of simple projects like recording my voice and reading / giving opinion I make it seem like a state of the union address.
- SIDE NOTE: Can you imagine if I gave the state of the union address? Oh man. You think this country is ready for that many dick jokes and references to video games? I do!

Back to the naming. I need a name for this thing. Welcome to Night Vale pretty much wins.

I want something like that. Something iconic that sort of starts as a whisper of geeeeeeek and then morphs into a bellowing call GEEK! But still sounds legit. Help would be appreciated here. I've never been good at titling things. Not my strength. Just check youtube. I fail. Content good. Title bad. Single tear.

From the podcast I'd want... Starting this sentence over. I want to do a storytellers festival. The podcast can easily feed into this. Good. Better way to say what I wanted to say. Feeding one project into another. Good. That's what we call professional adulting.

I have no dismount for this post. I'm going to go work on the podcast.

Have the best day you've ever had!

PS. The girl, the writer from Back Fence that I am unashamedly eavesdropping on, is having a rather in-depth conversation about and analysis of Magic Mike XXL. No one has ever struggled so hard not to laugh and draw attention to their dropping of eaves as I am at this moment. Out.

PPS. I love Magic Mike. Proudly.
