About me:

I'm a writer. Right now I'm working on a graphic novel, and a few side projects while navigating my way through the distractions of life. When I'm not writing I'm making beats for my own perverse sonic pleasure, and generally not getting much sunlight. So it goes, I guess.



Minor Update: A book I was in won the Harvey for Best Anthology of 2008. I'm happy about this, but will be more happy when it's a book with just my name on it. I continue dreaming. I still haven't done anything yet. Apparently I'm going to be writing for The Houston Chronicle, though. Wish me luck and many free tickets to shows.

Who I'd like to meet:

I'm mostly here to meet artists, other writers, and musicians - everything else is secondary.
