Non-stop work. The work infects my dreams. Sleep is bumpy, but happens a little bit at a time. Maintaining the happy positive attitude represents the struggle of my life right now. Getting up before 9:00AM to teach really inhibits happy Read more…
This weekend I will test market a part of the new webseries to see how it plays and get notes. I’m pretty sure I have solved the issue with the ‘host’ (me). I’m going to rotate the hosts out and Read more…
Hmm. I am finalizing an edit of the new webseries and starting on the edit of the 2nd episode. I appear in these segments on camera as a ‘host’. That has become something of a sticking point for why I Read more…

And life keeps elevating me lately. Hot damn, getting some creative work done energizes every part of me. Framelines on track, almost done with 16 episodes including closed captions. Two of my webseries are about to either start or continue. Read more…
