Here a link to the site-enjoy, download, share. Well, how about an entire CD of free music, over forty-seven minutes worth of catchy, mind-warping “chillout” tunes? I’ve just released “Ambient i-viii” in its entirety over on Bandcamp. You can find the review over at my film blog.Īnd, finally…I promised you a treat, didn’t I?


Now there’s talk of touring it…stay tuned.Īfter picking Sherron up at the airport, we drove to the Broadway Theater and took in a showing of “Berberian Sound Studio”, which I thought would be good…and turned out to be the best movie I’ve seen this year.

They used a variety of puppets and employed a number of locales around Yellowknife to tell their story and their play was a great hit. Sherron spent ten days up there with a troupe of professional artists, rehearsing and performing a dramatic presentation recreating events from the life of a longtime local character, Tom Doornbos. To add to the positive vibes around here, my wife has returned from Yellowknife, so our little family unit is intact once more. Is this the beginning of a new trend? Will I ( gasp) stop punishing my body/mind/spirit in the name of art? Ah, well, I should be used to that.Ī surprisingly pain-free draft-not assailed by the usual demons of self-doubt and I tried to take breaks, the occasional walk, get away from the keyboard. It’s in really rough shape-still, I think there’s a polished gem in there somewhere. I have another manuscript waiting for revision, an older effort I’m hoping to resurrect, but think I’ll stick with this new one for awhile. The experience left me drained, exhilarated…now I have to take a few days and try to figure out what the hell I’m going to do with it. Worked on it for nineteen (19) consecutive days, 2500 words a day. Yesterday I completed the first draft of what appears to be a short novel. Not only am I celebrating #300, there’s other news: Never let them down, never take them for granted. I want to constantly surprise and amaze them, show them something unexpected. These are the individuals I’m thinking of when I start a new poem, short story, novel. Some really smart people hang out at my place, ideal readers every one. D’you think I’d keep this up for 300 posts I didn’t feel like I was getting through, if this site wasn’t an invaluable line of communication to friends, colleagues and readers from, well, from everywhere? You’ve commented and you’ve written, hundreds of you, and I love it.
