I Love It When A Plan Comes Together

I Love It When A Plan Comes Together

Entering creative zone. Just realized that I was unconsciously creating a cycle of stories, all related to a novel that I wrote back in 2015 and is still-unpublished. Yeah. I know. I can’t believe it, either.

So, now, in addition to the third Jessica book (look, I promise, sometime before I’m dead….) I am also developing Thirty-Eight Locke’s Point Road and The Mirror of… Well, something or…

Pending Nuptials – The One Post You’re Not Going To Want To Miss

If you read this post, please spread the news — the dude behind your favourite dilettante is getting hitched. And to this smokin’ hot Betty: Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. You figure I just found this picture on the internet, and, because she absolutely SCREAMS Helena, you think this is just another strange twist on the…

How I Feel Today

My doctor suspects that I am actually bipolar.

Makes sense. Last night I was feeling well, having real conversations with a couple of friends, feeling good about myself as a human being. This morning, however, I feel burnt out. I feel exhausted and empty. I feel like all the things I used to feed the fire are gone, and now the fire is almost out.

I need fuel. If you have any, please send it my…

Write Club - A Human Dilettante's Manifesto

Write Club – A Human Dilettante’s Manifesto

As some of you may already know, Fight Club is one of my favourite movies. Yes, yes, I know it’s full of toxic masculinity — that’s kind of the point, actually — but it’s also about a common dissatisfaction with where society has gone. It is ecclesiastical, even, when it comes to its treatment of materialism, sex, commerce and the…

Thrusdays

You read that right. ‘Tis Thrusday. You know — one of those days when you stumble out of bed and you can’t even pronounce the word “Thursday” correctly.

You should never have coffee of any sort at 9 pm unless you are trying to stay up.

So, have a great Thrusday.

Of Tattoos and Twin Peaks and Fashionable Facial Hair

I know you’ve all been waiting with bated breath for an update on my comings and goings, so at long last your wait is over. I’m just that interesting, I know. It’s a curse, but one I bear for you, dear readers. I’d love to tell you that I’m wrapping up book three of the Jessica trilogy, but the truth is, it remains akin to an unfinished quilt. It’s not like it’s just bare bones, but there are…

2018 - The Year of the Dilettante

2018 – The Year of the Dilettante

Happy New Year, everyone. 2018 is going to be a big year for me, I know, because of writing projects coming to fruition, other writing projects beginning, as well as some great stuff in my personal life that I may or may not share, we’ll see. I’m back behind the veil of the writer, and so I can share some new things.

Current projects:

Thirty-Eight Locke’s Point Rd: It’s summer of 1997, and…

Thirty-Eight Locke's Point Road (continued again)

Thirty-Eight Locke’s Point Road (continued again)

Looks like I’m doing this serially, so here’s the next bit. You can find the first bit HERE and the second bit HERE

Will Howard lived next to an honest-to-god lighthouse, and as soon as Jack saw it, he knew he would love the place. Will’s lighthouse was a simple white tower with a black tarpaper roof – the kind you might imagine Rapunzel might have been kept in if she’d been raised a Yankee. The…

Four Decades of Misanthropy

It’s four in the morning, and I haven’t slept. That’s mania for you. That’s the other side of the Depression See-Saw. Only it’s not a happy mania, it’s torture. I’ve been writing this in my head for the last couple of hours, so I figured I’d get up and write the goddamned thing.

My earliest childhood memory is of cruelty.

I’m not even talking about being abused, but I’ll get to that later. I’m…
