A series of posts written over the years that describe John’s road to publication. These posts were not written in this order, but the stories are arranged chronologically.
Every author walks this road at one point or another. It’s a road that they hope leads to the promised land of publication and… …snort… I’m sorry, that’s way too formal and so stuffy. It’s not me. Let’s try this again. So for the past few months, I’ve been spending…
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…
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…
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…

So as a lot of you know, I’ve published four books with Enclave Publishing with a fifth on the way. I’ve been included in two anthologies and written two novellas. But I bet you didn’t know that I also wrote four scripts for three different TV shows.
Okay, so earlier today, I posted another Geek Confessional entry about how I wrote four scripts for three different TV shows when I was in college. I summed up the plots and then shared that I didn’t have copies of the scripts anymore. Apparently some of you thought that was…
I’ve gone through some odd phases in my writing career. When I was in high school, I started writing what could best be described as Christian science fiction and fantasy. I even tried submitting one of the manuscripts to a literary agent. One I found in the phone book. And…
