Laugh at Yourself First: "Regular Crazy"


Visit Laugh at Yourself First for “Regular Crazy,” and more short fiction, scripts, and very little poetry by Paul Juser.

The day-job has kept me running 6 to 7 day stretches or more the last few weeks, so I’ve had very little spare time for writing. My day-job is traveling clown for elementary school kids, so don't think I've got it that bad. I still don’t stay awake long after a 12 hour day. I've added more to Print is Better, and I’ve completed another installment of “Regular Crazy” at Laugh at Yourself First. Next week I’m presenting Episode 2 of “The Witch King’s Sword.”

I’m sure we’ve all run into a time when we set out to accomplish something entirely different and ended up writing a sword & sorcery novel instead. That’s what happened with Witch King. I played a lot of D&D as a youth, idolized Drizzt Do'Urden, and believe to this day Iron Maiden is a real band, so I embraced the opportunity. Rubin and Chloe of “Dollars Per Hour” embark on a new quest to recover an enchanted coat that protects against the magic ice freezing the Tree of Life.

If you’re here with me in Binghamton, I hope you are going to see “Faust” this weekend at Tri-Cities Opera. I won’t be able to see it until Sunday, so I hope the cast is still on their toes by then. “Faust” is the first opera I ever saw outside of school. Yes, I was that goth kid in the balcony singing the Misfits because I couldn’t understand the Italian. My ladyfriend has sworn me not to repeat. I’m sure the show will be great nonetheless.

I had some problems with my Lulu storefront last week, but it’s fixed now. I hope it didn’t ruin your week. If there’s any way I can make it up to you, let me know. I’ve got most of the stories picked out for the “Nuge for Prez” collection this summer. The book will be around 200 pages, and will include several stories not published before. I don't want to give you a book you've read cover-to-cover already. The first issue of “Print is Better” will come out at the same time through Lulu. Both will be in color and black & white. You won’t have to buy them to see them either. All my books are available in free download, so you know you enjoy before you spend a penny. Until next week, thanks for reading.
