On Breaking Your Kids' Things (But Hopefully Not Their Hearts)

I sometimes forget how much our kids rely on us as parents, and not just for the basics: food, clothing, shelter, protection, etc.  They rely on us to be Mom and Dad.  Mom comforts and assures and gives hugs and kisses and makes them feel better when they're sick, Dad explains how things work, scare

For Your Consideration; My Paper On Postmodern Horror Cinema

So, that's it and that's all.  My paper - "An Examination of Postmodern Horror Cinema" - has been emailed in.  For now, at least - hopefully, or a very long time - I am done with graduate school.And I've decided to post my paper here, for anyone interested.  During the writing of this, I'd actually

"How Horror Cinema Offers Effective Meditation On Issues Which Affect Society" - Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Horror Movies

My Roots of Classic and Post-Modern Fears

I've been keeping my head down this week, trying to finish my paper on post-modern horror for a Film & Philosophy graduate class.  Hoping to blog about that eventually, summarizing my views on said topic, but until then, here's essentially my opening statements, reflecting on my earliest brushes wit

On Being A Book Snob...Or, Maybe Just A Reading Snob

So, it turns out I'm a bit of "book snob".Or maybe, just a "reading snob". Now, this is another one of those "randomly-generated-blogs-as-I-was-falling-asleep" sort of things, so I don't want anyone to take offense. Blogging, to me, is often like thinking aloud about a variety of things. As such, I

Monday Afternoon Round-Up

Have a few ideas for blogs brewing under my hat, but because I'm posting in a variety of places now, here's a round-up of the last few weeks of blogging:I've been running a series at The Midnight Diner called "A Modest History of Horror", which is by no means a comprehensive history of the horror ge

Operation: Blackout - On Autism and TV

No, it's not a plan for me to unplug from the internet, fast from Facebook and Twitter and focus entirely on writing with no connection to the outside world.  Would be wonderful if I could do that, but in order to do so, I'd have to take off for a week and live in a cabin with no internet access.  W

On My Writing Manifesto; What Started You Writing? Why Do You Keep Doing It?

It's one of those things that writers don't tend to think about much.  I never used to, anyway.  Was too inside the "belly of the beast", in some ways, too busy pushing the pen further along the page to sit back and analyze WHY I continue to do what I do.But in the last year or so, as I've confronte

On Building A Platform; Klout, Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook...What Does It All Mean? I AM MY BRAND.

Building an author platform.Branding.Networking.What does it all mean?  If you're a writer today, are thinking about being a writer, or are trying to be a writer, or - like myself - have some small stuff out there and are hoping to move forward, you can't escape it: "branding" or building a brand or
