Commentary and Thoughts After Attending My First Supernatural Convention (Part 2)

Earlier this month, I posted part 1 of my thoughts I’ve had since attending the San Francisco Supernatural convention on Dec 2-4 2016. That post talked mostly about my relationship with Supernatural, fandom, and my creative career. This post will talk more about the convention itself; the events, and my reactions to them, and the … Continue reading »

Commentary and Thoughts After Attending My First Supernatural Convention (Part 1)

On September 26th, 2015, I got up on stage with my improv troupe, YUM, and delivered a 90 second monologue about how I’d bingewatched seven seasons of Supernatural in the previous five weeks (you can watch the clip below, if you’re interested). I’d started out just wanting to catch up on the series before season … Continue reading »

All the Fun at Improvaganza, the Hawaii Festival of Improv (2016)

Before I get to the fun stuff that happened this past week, I want to share some of my history with Hawaii, and why it had been so important for me to head to this festival. The first year I supported Improvaganza, the Hawaii Festival of Improv was 2011. I’d hoped to be able to … Continue reading »

Acknowledging the Changes in Attention, and Relating it to my Personal vs. Professional Life

Once upon a time, I was a dorky, shy, chubby teenage girl. Occasionally people would talk to me, but no one was interested in dating me, and no one told me they were physically attracted to me. I was probably the female equivalent of the dudes who get upset because women don’t pay attention to … Continue reading »

Two Full Years of Improv

The closing weekend of the San Francisco Improv Festival just wrapped. It was the closing night I attended two years ago that had spurred me into my more consistent improv journey. Up until that point, I’d only done the occasional workshop here and there since 2001, though I’d watched a lot more improv than I’d … Continue reading »

Coming Out with Marked by Scorn: An Anthology Featuring Non-Traditional Relationships

My latest book, Marked by Scorn: An Anthology Featuring Non-Traditional Relationships is officially released this Sunday on July 31st. The ebook is available for pre-order from Amazon. I had a conversation with my husband last month about how people are probably assuming that as the editor of a collection like this, I must be polyamorous1. … Continue reading »

Projects and Progress, During the First Half of 2016

So far this year, I’ve made a lot of progress towards various goals. I haven’t written about all of them, and some of them have only had passing mentions. But I wanted to write a brief rundown of some of my bigger accomplishments. Two days ago, after five months of training, I attended my final … Continue reading »

Completing Marked by Scorn

Working on Marked by Scorn has been a long process. But it’s one I can safely say I’m at the end of, now. I didn’t want to launch the crowdfunding campaign for it until I was sure I could deliver the goods in a timely manner, because I already had the ebooks and paperbacks ready … Continue reading »

Building my Image as an Actor

There’s a lot to discuss when it comes to actor image, but I’m going to start with an aspect that I’ve been debating about sharing publicly because I know weight loss can be a sensitive issue for some people. I also feel a bit guilty about my motivations, because I genuinely believe someone’s weight is … Continue reading »

My thoughts after seeing Martin Lawrence live and reading David Spade’s memoir

Between last night and tonight, I saw Martin Lawrence live, and finished reading David Spade’s memoir, Almost Interesting, so I thought I’d blog a little about my experiences with both. Martin Lawrence was performing at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland. The surprise of the night was that he was being supported by Melanie Comarcho, who … Continue reading »
