“Writers,” or people who fancy themselves as such (and aren’t we all really just whatever we fancy to be?), have all kinds of tricks to making themselves write. Some set goals for themselves, or rules that govern their day. Some train themselves with positive reinforcement and treats, others reprimand with negative reinforcement and denying things. But everyone, every single one, even the ones who aren’t very good, recognize that to be a writer you must write. This sounds obvious but look around- isn’t it shocking to see how many people consider themselves to be something and never get off their ass and do it? What does that make them?

This is me doing it.

I don’t consider myself a full-blown “Writer”. “Filmmaker” I guess would be a little more accurate. I concentrated in producing through film school, which seemed to fit my sensibilities most completely, but that’s probably more telling than anything since producers have to wear so many hats if a film is going to be made. Writing is the beginning of the process though and I have stories I want to tell. They’re personal, they’re interesting (if I do say so myself) and sometimes allowing yourself to hand them off to someone else can require much more energy than honing the craft and buckling down. “Control Freak”? Probably. So?

This site will showcase my projects, in every step of the process. They are as varied as my interests because I’ve never been one to stick with one thing for long (unless it’s Peanut Butter Chocolate ice cream at Baskin Robbins). The blog will chronicle my burgeoning career and life, but also my practice as a writer so if it rambles a bit, that’s how it goes. Someone great once said “Anything worth doing is worth doing awkwardly at first”. The key word there is doing.
