Turn Me Inside Out

Worlds collide.

Secret project #2 now not as secret.

And it will never be complete.

The Lathe of Heaven

by Drey on September 11, 2009 in Books, Comics, Life, Reft with 9 Comments

I guess this’ll teach me not to read “The Invisibles” and “The Lathe of Heaven” simultaneously while having an existential crisis.

The language is always going to be an issue. As I learned from The Invisibles, we’ve only been taught half the letters of the true alphabet. This entire experience is created in language and there are things I have no words for. Continue reading →

Frayed was a collaborative fiction project I did years ago. It still remains one of the most satisfying writing projects I’ve ever done. I have compiled the transcripts of the major storylines and made them available in the Library.

[I originally posted this on Facebook, but I also want it recorded here.]

First of all, this is a genuine inquiry on a fundamental human level. Not an intellectual exercise, not a platform for theological discourse, but a sincere examination of something that spins constantly in my mind. Secondly, I am not here to indite your beliefs or ask you to defend anything you believe. I do, however, want you to explain *why* you believe. Honestly, as a human being. Continue reading →

SitRep

In which our protagonist attempts to summarize noteworthy events of the past several months.

I took improv classes for four months. Discovered I was funny without trying to be. Improv is hard because you’re not supposed to think about anything, and I’m, well, me. The improv scene is as cliquish and dramatic and jargony and strategic as the slam poetry scene. I don’t fit in to scenes. Continue reading →

My friends and I made a short for the Fantastic Fest 2009 Bumper contest. In order for it to be a finalist, it needs to receive a lot of votes (preferably high ones). If you like the film, please go here and vote for it. You need to sign up to vote, but it is easy.

Thank you. This will really help us out.

Don’t forget to vote!
