About meI hold an MFA in Creative Writing and teach college English writing and literature. I'm an award-winning editorial cartoonist, have performed at ten improv festivals, and teach improv acting. My interests include writing, playing the ukulele, spending time with my wife, volunteering, being terrible at most video games, and re-telling the same old anecdotes over and over. You can read my blog on writing, improv, and creativity at The Scrawl, and I'm the co-founder of Scrawlers.com, a free online writing workshop encouraging original 100-word short stories.

About my libraryA few old favorites and nice new finds, recent recommendations, poetry, YA, literary magazines, favorite writers, creative inspiration, and writing craft.

Hey, thanks for the heads up about literary journals. I'm going to try to add a bunch of Zyxyvva's and Poetry Internationals and see it'll go through.

Hi! I'm going to send you something I recently found (tho I don't remember where!). I had never heard of Gaiman until I saw him mentioned often in LT. . . Here's the quote~~~~This reminds me of something I read in a Neil Gaiman story once: “It’s the province of fools and children to point out the emperor has no clothes, but the emperor remains an emperor and the fool, a fool.” ~~~~~~ And I will, when I get a chance, send you a note because what you are doing interests me.
