Allons-y!*

I have this dream. I want to edit an anthology of short stories contributed by some of the biggest names in literature.  But there’s a catch: each story will be first presented in its final form and then followed by 1-2 earlier drafts of the same story, annotated by the author as he/she explains the [...]

The facts are these…

PUSHING DAISIES et est mort…

If only Ned could touch his show back to life….
A moment of silence, please.

We have to go back!

This blog represents a lot of firsts for me.  It was the first time I ever said something was ‘ass.’  It’s also the very first time I’ve used this word.
(Ahem.)
SQUEEEEEEEE!
 

The comments section is now open to guesses as to where I’ll be on January 21, 2009.

Never knew we could be so strong.
