I Made A Movie Last Week
Well, if you’re one of my crazy (and likely irritated) Facebook friends, you’ll know that me and my crew (Soft Drink Productions) worked on a new, short film last week. Yeah. That’s right. As in DURING THE WEEK…WITH OUR FULL-TIME JOBS DURING THE DAY.
Remind me never, ever, ever to do that again.
Here’s the short n’ dirty version of …
In Which Some Stuff Happens…
Ah, Sunday. You’ve caught me again! It’s insane how quickly time is going by. My parents used to tell me that it only goes faster every year and I’ll be dashed if they aren’t right. I’ve got some bit-sized chunks of fun stuff to share, so let’s get down to it, shall we?
Jacob Alexander Troupe – The Big One…
2010? Let’s do this.
Oh, there you are! I was wondering if and when you were going to end up here.
So, it’s 2010 y’all. I’m going to miss calling the past 9 or so years ‘double-aught’. As in: Back in 2 double-aught 9, I had my Xbox go south on me. Saddest two weeks of my life.
You know, that kind of thing.…
Winter Nerds
Happy Holidays and all that jazz!
I’m going to come right out with it: I think little by little, the Ebenezer in me is fading. It’s almost like I’m actually okay with the change from fall (best. season. ever.) to winter. Sure, driving in the snow is enough to make me want to eat glass and the ear-splitting Christmas music …
The Goodhalo Revision
Well, if you were wondering if I’d abandoned my new website/blog/movie hut…I didn’t! I’ve been working, nose to the grindstone on getting all of my author-ly ducks in a row. The new series I did for Picture Window Books is all finished up (see ya, Bermuda Triangle!) and I drafted the two new middle grade books I’m doing for Stone …
A Dang Good Birthday Week, Yo.
Hey! What’s this? Two posts in ONE week?
Well, in all truth this will be quick. As many of you may (or may not know) I turned the big 3-7 on Monday and I’ve got the gray hair(s) to prove it.
Anyway, never too exciting to have a birthday fall on a Monday, but even so my family and I …
Officially a Nerd…at 37 Years Old.
Friends of the Triple-Dubs:
Well, it’s been a long time coming, but here it is, finally! My own little corner of the interwebsticles. My very own webpage!
(cue fireworks that explode all at once and make your ribcage hurt. also: a band that plays your favorite get-pumped music)
Here’s the funny thing: I went out probably a year or so …
Updates & A Fair To Remember
Yo, yo. What it is, Tappers.
So, looks like I took the month of August off from the bloggy blog. Sorry ’bout that. Heck, let’s face it. You haven’t been reading anyway. You’ve been busy with summer, updating your own blogs and you know…doing your own thing.
I get it. I do.
Well, I wish I could say that I’m …
Tiny GOODHALO Excerpt & Update
“Your bravery surprises me, Pious,” Hurvick said. “But our fates are in the hands of the gods.”
“Their hands are full,” Pi replied, which made Lasha gasp.
From GOODHALO, by Thomas Kingsley Troupe
So, that’s what I’ve been doing friends. Working FEVERISHLY on the revision and overhauling of my little zombie book, GOODHALO. I’m on a mission to trim this …
I Hate Tuesdays (well, most of it anyway)
It was one of those days that sort of punched me in the snotbox and only occasionally let me up for air.
I’m talking about today. Tuesday. June 23rd. 2009.
Yes. Tuesday.
It’s the hottest day of the year today. I woke up this morning and knew it was going to be sticky and gross. Minnesota. Land of 10,000 lakes …
