Memoir Rolling Along

I just heard back from the fifth literary agent interested in seeing UNPLUGGED, which chronicles my lifetime addiction to video games. Every time I have the smallest inkling of doubt that maybe it's just me, that maybe I'm the only one wasting away my years with a control pad or keyboard in hand as I stare at a pixellated world, I get affirmation that this project matters. No other memoir exists on video game addiction, but with a bit of luck, mine soon will. Perhaps it'll help begin the discussion on a wider arena than it's already happening. Perhaps it will help initiate some important change on how we use, understand, and relate to the digital world.

MIA for too long

Wow, it's easy to become lost for longer than you expect. I meant to take a week or two off so I could move to Florida, but I ran across The World of Warcraft again--my friend loaned me a laptop and it was loaded in, and before long, I was putting in some serious hours again. Yikes. I've since given back that laptop, but for a few weeks there, it was that love/hate thing again. I feel like those smokers who say they've quit smoking. Eleven times.

More later, for sure this time.
