Did You Grow Fonder?

I haven’t posted a blog entry lately. Life has been busy with getting my fiancee ready for surgery (or I should say, helping her get the garden and house ready for her surgery), and I took on another project—more about that in a minute. Also, I tried so hard to keep my posting streak going,Continue reading “Did You Grow Fonder?”

“You Are The Killer!”

This past weekend we had the premiere presentation of our interactive murder mystery, Whispers in a Dark Manor. I’d venture to say that it was overall a success. When talking with a local hotel to use their conference room for a performance, they expressed interested in doing a murder mystery dinner. We agreed, and IContinue reading ““You Are The Killer!””

The Art of Being Noticed

Julie Morris recently contacted me about doing a guest post on musofyr.org, and so here it is! The Art of Being Noticed: A Guide for Creatives on Gaining Recognition Making your mark can seem daunting in the bustling world of creative professions. Yet, with the right strategies, you can elevate your visibility and forge aContinue reading “The Art of Being Noticed”

Resuscitation of Old Projects

One of the recurring themes of my digital life has been bringing old projects back to life. One of the manifestations of this was “Gilbert the Goldfish,” which began as a short story and ended up as a web-based story with my scanned illustrations. You can see it here. (I guess the Flash animated versionContinue reading “Resuscitation of Old Projects”

Peristalsis in Excelsis Deo. Amen.

Going through a box from my storage unit, I found notes in a variety of notebooks. I tore out the relevant pages—so few in each book—and am donating the books to Goodwill so someone will get more use out of them than I ever did or will. See, I would purchase them thinking I’d getContinue reading “Peristalsis in Excelsis Deo. Amen.”

Gimme a Murder Mystery

In discussing possible performance events with a local organization, we were asked if we could do a murder mystery dinner. Why, sure! But… I began researching them. They tend to fall into two categories: expensive (no, thanks!) and lame. The latter seem to have been created by some amateur theatre groups who thought they wereContinue reading “Gimme a Murder Mystery”

Don’t Tell Me I Can’t

How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success? One of the quickest ways to encourage me to do something is to tell me I can’t do it, or to speak the more passive phrase, “it can’t be done.” That’s precisely the motivation I’ve often needed to accomplish a goal. ItContinue reading “Don’t Tell Me I Can’t”

A Plethora of Miscellaneous

If there was a biography about you, what would the title be? I wrote that title a few weeks ago and saved it in Notes, because I knew it would come in handy eventually. When seeing today’s prompt I thought it was strictly apropos (which would be a bad title for my biography). Looking backContinue reading “A Plethora of Miscellaneous”

Delete Files(s): Yes or No?

Do you need a break? From what? When I moved from my three-story (plus basement) brick Victorian house, I sold many things, I gave away much, but still had a great deal of items I didn’t want to part with. Since I was moving in with someone, there wasn’t room for it all, and soContinue reading “Delete Files(s): Yes or No?”

Good Day. Sunshine.

Describe your most ideal day from beginning to end. My most ideal day would begin when I spontaneously woke up. No alarms, no construction noises, no rap music emanating from a passing car. Just becoming awake when I’ve slept enough. After a shower, breakfast, a couple of quick games on my phone and a newContinue reading “Good Day. Sunshine.”
