Things Happening Now: Shoot the WISB and Man of Steel

After a brief Twitter discussion with Paul Weimer, I’ve decided to move the Shoot the WISB segments over to The Skiffy and Fanty Show.  There are a few reasons for this, but the fact that this blog is, well, a blog is the most obvious of those reasons. In any case, if you want to […]

Poll: Would you watch or tune in to a live-writing event?

One of the interesting things I did with my friend Adam last year was a collaboration in which we more or less wrote a story live. While that story didn’t pan out (still have it and think it’s a wicked piece of work that we should one day finish — Andy Remic would love it), it […]

The Video You’ve All Been (Not) Waiting For (a.k.a. That WISB Thing)

WISB Podcast: Triple My Embarrassment By Picking a Third Dance

I’ve already apologized for putting off a lot of things I promised.  One of those things was the dance(s) I said I’d do if I reached my funding goal (over a month ago).  Since I met that goal, I’m required to provide a video of me performing Peanut Butter Jelly Time and the Truffle Shuffle. […]
