Chapbook Question???
1 min read
I recently found out that the Diablo themed chapbook based on a darker crusader, who like the Knights Templar embraced Baphomet, did not win the contest that it was written for. Now, I am at a crossroads and do not know what I should do with it. Does anyone have any ideas? Right now, it is just verse, should I add artwork and self publish? Or should I find another place to submit it to?

Disappointment...
1 min read
Many in here did not know, but I was in the interview process to potentially become a staff writer for Ripley's Believe It or Not. While the process was amazing, and I eventually made the short list, unfortunately, I found out today that they decided to go with another candidate. I do understand, and wish I had more details, it still leaves me a touch disappointed about the ending. Honestly, I believe that was the perfect writing job for me, and could have been the destination job everyone searches for.
Now, I guess it is back to my search for an artist to possible work on a few projects I have in mind. Maybe I will find someone at some point...

Wisdom From Beyond Now Live
2 min read
Uncle, what did you do? Did you accidently summon Nyarlathotep, the faithful servant of Azathoth, who rose to power during the reign of the evil pharaoh Nephren-Ka? In my research into this mysterious stone, that is the only thing that would make sense when comparing the information to your somewhat incoherent ramblings in your journals. Yes, you had to have awakened the Crawling Chaos, but how?
This is an opening paragraph on one of the blog posts from Wisdom From Beyond. Wisdom From Beyond was an extremely detailed transmedia project that my group built for class and has created a tremendous journey into the world of H.P. Lovecraft. This immersive, interactive, transmedia story based on H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Haunter of the Dark,” was designed and produced by students of Full Sail University's Creative Writing for Entertainment BFA program and I am proud to say that I was the project manager for this story.
If you are unfamiliar with transmedia writing, that is OK. It is a rather new literary form that sets out to create Alternative Reality Games (ARGs), using multiple storytelling techniques and platforms. In our case, we used Blogger, Pinterest, YouTube, Twitter, Google+, and Gmail to accomplish our goal. In the end, I feel that we created something that is creative, entertaining, modern, and most importantly, stays true to the source mythos. Honestly, if you are a fan of Lovecraft, you should enjoy it.
I would love to hear your feedback on the project, especially the content. I honestly have fallen in love with this type of storytelling and am considering venturing into my own project. If you want to get started follow this link to the first YouTube video and follow the prompts left inside the videos, descriptions, and blog.

Publication
1 min read
Being a creative writing for entertainment major, I know that I should submit more of my works for publication to help build my portfolio for the future. Unfortunately, I often blow that off, and lose focus when I see a cool call for submissions. That has changed some in the past month now that I have realized that I am less than a year from graduation.
Last week, I actually submitted three works for potential publication to some different literary outlets. Last night, I got word back that one of them was accepted to Z-Composition (zombiepoetry.com/). Hopefully, this piece, Save Me, is the first of many.

Scriptwriting
1 min read
I honestly never realized how much difference there is between a story and a script until this class. And after two weeks, it is kicking my butt. I am used to being very descriptive and poetic, and scripts feel so alien to me. Hopefully, I can grasp this concept and get my mind back in gear, nothing seems to be flowing right.
