Writer's Talk and Other Stuff

I just made the first Writers Talk video. It was fun. I have an MMA predictions and analysis show on Youtube, so it wasn’t anything new to do these Youtube videos. I’ll try to keep doing them every week.

I’m writing a short story called The Underachievers. I have, and have had, friends who were the type who did enough to get by, but didn’t do enough to get ahead. It’s almost a form of venting to write a story about underachievers, as the ones I know were just so illogical and ignorant at times. I wanted humor in the story, but not forced, so the absurdity in what they do and say is comedy in its own.

I really have to get query letters out there. I’ve been holding off with putting this website up, but now is the time to reach out to literary agents. I actually have some stuff to show for myself like an author’s website, won 3rd place in a short story contest, and got two other short stories published in an online magazine. I guess that it’s better than nothing.
