The mother of my child has now opened a jewelry store on etsy. She’s selling hand-crafted necklaces, bracelets, and more. Feel free to stop by, make a purchase, and keep my daughter in the finest of baby formulas.

I promised myself I wouldn’t publish any more bound collections of photography, but I’m pretty tenacious. I’m not too worried about who picks this up, it’s pretty heavy, but if anyone get’s a copy of it, I hope my friend does. If it wasn’t for her, this book literally would never had existed.
Under Glass and Twice as Bright.
A few weeks ago I swore off photography. I promised myself I wouldn’t publish any more bound photography volumes. So this the last chance to purchase my work, until I change my mind again.
Here’s the extra special collector’s edition. Full of fancier paperwork, and stronger glue.
If that’s too epic for you, there’s the softcover version of it as well as a digital release.
“Hello World” starring Alexandria Rose.

I am pleased to announce the birth of daughter. I don’t know if I’m biased as her father, but she certainly is just lovely. She broke my heart. I’m very happy and content, and I’m looking forward to exploring the world by her side.

On SOPA (the Stop Online Piracy Act).
The internet is THE job creation platform of the 21st century because it allows local small businesses and entrepreneurs to efficiently sell their goods and services across the globe. Two bills now pending in Congress—the PROTECT IP Act of 2011 (Protect IP) in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House threaten to undermine that platform by denying business owners that use the internet the right to due process of law.

There goes November…
…and here comes December. We watch as NaNoWrimo comes to a close (and sadly, I did not do as well as I hoped, but I also had some legitimate concerns that got in my way), and we look forward to what’s next.
Before anything though, I’d like to sincerely thank everyone who donated to the charity I was writing for. Every little bit helps, and I’m sure people will give even more next time around. So if you chipped in, high five. You did good. Everyone else, I’ll see you next year, right?
Don’t think the charity is over yet, it’s still on. And I’m going to keep it going until they shut me down. So if you’re still kicking yourself for not helping, don’t fret. It’s still going on.
Now let’s talk about what’s next…
On Writing.
I always have imagined that an author should read twice as much as he writes. I’m a pretty voracious reader, so I’m a little behind. Currently I’m catching up with a series of short stories. Apparently these stories are just like my DVD collection. Everything has either “death” or “evil” or “sword” in the title.
I’ve been told my writing is like a sledgehammer, and I don’t know what that means, but I know I’ve dropped one on my foot before. It wasn’t pleasant, and I’d rather not do it again.(Wait a second. I need to go talk to this critic and clarify a few things.)
On the side you’ll see a menu for a list of things I have either written, or I am currently writing. Unless noted otherwise, please refer to all work on this site as “in progress”.
Something as simple as this introduction to my writing gallery may change without notice.
I’m part of CyberMonday…? [update]
SALE’S OVER. EVERYONE GO HOME. NO NEED TO READ THE LAST TWO PARAGRAPHS OF THIS ARTICLE. NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG.
Word around the campfire is that my series of prints from my book “University City Worship” is on sale for 50%. Also something about free shipping, but definitely 50%.
The sale ends in about 10 hours, so hurry up, Christmas is coming.
National Novel Writing Month
I guess I should make it official. I’m throwing my hat into the ring. At the most, I will end up with a finished project. At the least, maybe I’ll just get this “writing” thing out of my system.
This year I’m going to be part of National Novel Writing Month.
“Valuing enthusiasm and perseverance over painstaking craft, NaNoWriMo is a novel-writing program for everyone who has thought fleetingly about writing a novel but has been scared away by the time and effort involved.
This approach forces you to lower your expectations, take risks, and write on the fly.
Make no mistake: You will be writing a lot of crap.
Also, I’ve decided if I’m going to spend time doing this, I might as well use my powers for good, and give something back. So I’ll be doing this as a fundraiser for The Office of Letters and Light, a charity that creates free creative writing programs for kids and adults in over 500 cities and towns, 3,000 classrooms, and 200 libraries every year.
Please visit my fundraising page and shower me with positive attention.
