Laugh at Yourself First: Here in This Sorrow


Read "Here in This Sorrow," and more short fiction, scripts, and very little poetry at Laugh at Yourself First.

I hope no one accuses me of not writing due to laziness. Last weekend, my character wrapped in The Demon Messenger, and 95% of the movie has been filmed. Iamhorror.com is still planning a Halloween release, so look for us on iTunes and Netflix, and I'll keep you posted on the big screens that will have my weirdbeard. I was in this movie because I wanted to be in a monster movie, but as the story took shape, it became such a part of me that I practically forgot about the monster until the weekend it was on set. Between movie and Day Job, only the power of cupcakes was keeping me awake at that point. I was only meat in this movie, but getting to watch another writer's process was great for me. Thanks to Doug Bush and Ted Nappi for letting me be a part of this.

If you're here with me in Binghamton, you'll probably recognize many veterans of the local stages, including my great friends Brian Nayor and Dave Merrill. As you've noted, I'm a notorious misspeller and worse editor, and when Dave was in several of my plays I gave him a new name in almost every program. I hope he's forgiven me, because he was always one of the most fun people to have on set, and it was great to work with him again. I was also able to face off against my childhood hero, Marquis de Blood of the horror-rock band, Others, and Horror-Punks.com who has been kicking me in the chest or hit me with his guitar since his punk band, Abalienation, back when I was a little kid. printisbetter.com is active now, and Water Under Attack, and Salvation Shark Vol 2 are both nearly complete and should be online in a few weeks. Thanks for reading.
