At The Nervous Breakdown: Dead, I Am.

I have a new essay up at The Nervous Breakdown: Dead, I Am.

Sea Turtle. See Turtle.

Apparently a sea turtle found a drifting digital camera, turned it on, and filmed itself.

"Playing Pirate House" at The Nervous Breakdown.

I have an essay pubbed at The Nervous Breakdown.

Playing Pirate House.

An excerpt:

Maintaining a spirit of play as opposed to laboring under the "rules" of writing is a troublesome task. There is an entire industry to teach us the rules. Play, not so much.
