The creative process is mythical and never clearly defined.  At no point in college does anyone say “this is how to write a story” and offer step-by-step instructions.  We required to figure it out for ourselves.  So, we spend time on ideas, accumulated into Moleskines or folders on your hard drive, and structure, on notecards [...]

My good friend Shannon (AKA Plot Twist) has posted up some demos of his beats.  The full songs are solid, but you get a taste. Plot twist – demo teaser by PLOT TWIST Enjoy!

Then what does Colorado have?  …mountains?  Let me see them…all right, you win this round.  Keep tuned to the Now? section for pictures of our many adventures! We’re in the Denver area, hanging out, attempting to not count our chickens before they’ve hatched, and look for work.  As it stands we haven’t found much on [...]

Well folks, the time is nigh.  A week from today we fly to Colorado to begin our eventual move to Pasadena.  It’s an exciting and extremely stressful moment in our lives as we’ve only been married two weeks now and started to get a handle on life as a couple.  Now its time to throw [...]

A second head is key. Or, if you want to think about it differently, another opinion is key. I’m realizing this more and more. Finally, letting the absolute fact seep in that the ideas in my head might require some editing. Some polishing. But there’s a criterium in these things. They have to want to [...]

Today I haven’t done much “work”, per se.  Which is an odd thing to say, really, and not necessarily the truth.  I’ve spent today reading and just generally being a sponge.  It is in doing this that I realize the absolutely necessity of such a posture for a writer.  And I’ll explain why after this [...]

This morning I was greeted with an email linking me to an interview with Bon Iver on Music Weekly.  Therein you will hear that the Guardian is ranking it of the Top Albums of the year. As well, and this was news to me, Bon Iver performed on David Letterman last week (12/11).  The video [...]
