Whew! It's been a while since I've posted. That whole "life" thing can get really thick and heavy very quickly. Anyways, good news to report. I finally finished my novel that I've been slaving over....since....forever, I think.  It's been through several drafts and I feel so goooooooood about it. 

I made a trailer for it...because...I like making these things:

I just did a few readings in Kansas City and St. Louis and they were an absolute blast. The one in Kansas City was at an art gallery, and I was involved in a veterans art exhibit as a featured reader and I met some of the nicest, creative, amazing people there and then I ate my bodyweight in Kansas City BBQ. After fighting off the urge to lay down and take a nap in the parking lot, I came to the conclusion that my favorite thing about creating art is not always the art itself (which is always incredible), but meeting the people behind the art. The more great and encouraging people I meet, the more I want to keep creating and sharing.
