The start of a new year is traditionally the time we sit down and make resolutions about how we’re going to make ourselves better in the coming year. I am all for introspection and making plans for improvements, but the whole resolution thing simply doesn’t work for me. Making a resolution to lose 75 pounds, get 15% better looking and appear on the cover of “GQ” has never seemed terribly useful to me. And while it is traditional to make resolutions, it is also part of the tradition is to “cheat on the resolution”. That seems pretty counter-productive to me. So I won’t be making any New Year’s Resolutions this year. Instead, I’ll be setting some firm (but doable) goals for […]

Working Out the Bugs
Every new project, be it writing, podcasting, woodworking or whatever, has a teething period where everything isn’t quite perfect. That has certainly been true of all my past projects and it is proving to be true with my current writing/podcasting project. The project I’m talking about is my new GalaxyBillies story/podcast. To give you some history, I first came up with the rough story idea a year or so ago. I came up with the plan to write comedy MUCH farther back than that (say four or five years farther back, if not more) so this project wasn’t something I just sat down to write one day on a whim. The first two drafts were less than… ideal, I suppose […]

Happy Holidays everyone! As a special treat, I am putting the first episode of my new podcast project into the feed. GalaxyBillies is the story of five hillbillies who are kidnapped by a semi-sentient starship. To say they take the universe by storm would be a MAJOR understatement. I was checking my notes a couple days ago when I was finishing the first episode and I realized I first had the story idea almost a year ago. It has taken a while to germinate, but I’m very happy with episode one (numbered episode 0). Have a listen and let me know what you think. If you like it, leave a comment and maybe feedback on iTunes. If you don’t, please […]
