No. I said there was a STORM.

Yesterday, I tweeted:

I was not kidding. We still have no power. This is one of the fifteen trees down in my neighborhood. It’s six houses down the street from us. It missed the house behind it by three inches.

Yes, yes. I’ve been quiet for a while, mostly because I’ve been trying to refocus a bit. Took some time away from Twitter and Facebook to ride herd on my various projects:

Working on a screenplay with Earl Newton for Stranger Things. Hovering between getting it just so, and getting it down on paper. In the third revision right now.
Working on a short story for P.G. Holyfield’s new collection, Tales of the Children.
Working on a short story for the small writer’s group that Kris Johnson, his wife Laura, and I seem to be starting. More on that in future posts.
Working my way through The Artist’s Way. Which, incidentally, is helping with some of the blockages I’ve been dealing with.
Working on wireframes for PB2.
Working on notes for a meeting with the guys working on PB2 on Wednesday to get the project moving along a bit more quickly.
Working out.

It’s Matthew Wayne Selznick! In Concert!

On Sunday, January 25 at 3:00 PM Pacific time, I’ll perform in a live virtual house concert (my house) which will stream on video through uStream. Admission is free, but I will have a little tip jar set up. Everyone who donates $20.00 or more the day of the event will get high-quality MP3 versions of every original song I play during the show — at least a dozen live songs!

Interested? Check out his original post for details.
