		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been weeks now since I&#8217;ve had a real night of sleep.  My mind is a mess of circuits that don&#8217;t connect.  My sleep deprivation has turned me into a dyslectic.  I&#8217;ve forgotten how to spell.  I forget what I did a minute ago.  I no longer no what day it is thanks to a lack [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So had a great pitch a couple of weeks ago with some really great execs.  I&#8217;m not just saying that to kiss butt.  I&#8217;ve been in the room with a lot of execs over the years and this was the first time I found them being part of the process instead of just judging.  They [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thought I&#8217;d share a chapter from my soon to be unpublished book.  It&#8217;s a collection of short stories from my insane days in college where let&#8217;s just say I had money to burn and an obsession with becoming wanted by women which caused some body issues.  Enjoy!

		<description><![CDATA[So I took a gig up in Santa Clarita for the opportunity of working with some amazing writers.  One problem is Santa Clarita is eighty miles round trip every day.  And with my VW getting 18mpg the job would bankrupt me.  So I did what I did the last time I had a gig up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Started on a new show recently.  This one not as a writer, but in my old position as a script coordinator.  Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I&#8217;m psyched to be there.  Great people, a stellar small staff of writers and for the first time, work on an hour long which is where my passion now lies.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So as some of you know from reading my tweets, I had some skin cancer removed on Friday.  Turned out to be a chunk on my nose the size of a dime.  So much that they had to take skin from another part of my nose to fill the void that was left.  But that&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So as a writer every day you&#8217;re supposed to write.  But most of us always find other ways of spending our time, or wasting our time, instead of getting the job done.  It&#8217;s not that we don&#8217;t enjoy writing, it&#8217;s just you get burnt out sometimes from the grind.  But other times you&#8217;re prolific, so [...]]]></description>
