Summing Up '08 So You Don't Have To

Too busy defrosting the gin, vodka, and Pringles for tomorrow night to come up with anything more clever than Uncle Jay.

Read my story ideas and concepts

One of the most important reasons for creating this blog was to make my live action and animation concepts and story ideas available to development executives everywhere. Time to move everything from a digital hard drive attic to a PDF download file. This will be an ongoing effort. Check back on a regular basis for additional posted ideas.

Click HERE to access a directory of the story ideas I've posted online.

But before you do that, perhaps you'll want to read about what inspired some of these stories; in which case click HERE.

Excerpts from my very first post on this blog

"I've set this blog up for several reasons. One, I think it's really cool. I can pontificate and bloviate and hyperventilate about subjects I know nothing about and be part of the blogging "in crowd" -- even though the "in crowd" now numbers in the tens of millions."

"Secondly, I plan to place online all my concepts, proposals, and show ideas now languishing on my hard drive. It does me no good to keep them hidden, locked away in some digital attic like the first wife in Jane Eyre."

On, Wisconsin!
