So over the past few trips to the confessional, I’ve been telling the story of all of my various writing projects. I never really intended for the Geek Confessional to be my authorial autobiography, but it’s kind of turned into that. Hope you don’t mind. Anyway, while I was in…
So lately, I’ve been focusing on the various writing projects that I worked on when I was younger. I kind of like this trend, so I’m going to keep on going and talk about the stories that I wrote when I was in high school. In middle school, I had…
Last time I was in the Confessional, I shared the story of how, when I was a kid, I drew horrible comic books that I somehow deluded myself into thinking would be my path to publication. But eventually, I came to realize that I simply stunk up the joint as…
You know, I’ve shared a lot about my writing career (such as it is) in the Confessional over the past few months. I’ve talked about my attempts at writing for TV, movies, and the stage. I’ve shared my awful Star Trek/Star Wars crossover fanfiction. But it occurs to me, I…
I spent some time in the confessional, talking about how, for a while there, I tried my hand at writing screenplays. This resulted in three very lousy scripts, most of which are lost to the ages. But those screenplays weren’t the extent of my literary experimentation. When I was in…
So this is kind of a minor thing, I suppose, but it’s something that’s bugged me. I’ve only ever been to one comic book convention. That may seem like an odd thing to confess. I suppose it’s been on my mind lately because a bunch of my friends have gone…
So you’d think that someone as geeky as me would have lived on a steady diet of C. S. Lewis, especially given the fact that I’m a pastor’s kid. Once again, you would be wrong. I didn’t read C. S. Lewis until I was in the Seminary but when I…
By this point, you may have noticed that I’m kind of a big geek. I’m okay with being called that. It’s an accurate assessment of my personality. And I’ve experienced a lot of geeky things. But there’s one thing that I never done, and I actually kind of feel sad…
My last three outings in the Confessional were all about my half-witted attempts at writing movies, so I figured it might not be a bad idea to follow up with a movie-related confession. There’s a certain style that’s emerged in recent years that I really enjoy even though most people…
The last two times I’ve been in the Confessional, I’ve talked about my short-lived career as a screenplay writer. The first was a cult thriller about clones. My second was a sci-fi/romance mash-up. So what did I do for my third (and most likely final) screenplay? Straight romantic comedy. Entitled…
