BIRTHDAY! MINE! (and some other stuff.)

Hi Everyone!

It’s my birthday, and it seems I’ve started a new tradition.  Over at Dear Teen Me, I’ve written another letter to my teen self.  As a birthday present to past me.  Past me could use a birthday present.

My dad, me, and my brother at my high school graduation in 2001.

The OTHER big news is that I’ve joined Ye Olde Wattpad!  I’ve been feeling things out over there, and even started posting segments from a memoir that I’m writing in verse, with the working title THE SUMMER OF UNRAVELLING.

Mock cover made using stock art from a fab deviantART artist whose account is now inactive.

I’ve also posted a short story or two, as well as some poems in an informal collection (all of these poems are previously published in magazines).  Today we are also launching DEAR TEEN ME: EXTRAS! On Wattpad.  This collection will feature some of our favorite posts from the Dear Teen Me website, and hopefully bring these letters to a new audience.  Keep an eye on it.

And since I haven’t been around much over the last month (SORRY!), I’m going to treat you to a picture of me from Austin ComicCon.  Dressed as Scully.  From The X-Files, duh.

So that’s that.  Hope you enjoy these various pieces of writing in their various locales.  And happy Friday!
