2018 Short Story Advent Calendar Unveiling: December 16
A little worse for wear, but still reading and eating chocolate, so basically everything’s fine. How did we get to December 16 already?

So I was very tired when I recorded this, which was actually on December 14. But as I write this it’s December 15, and a couple hours away from getting my tooth pulled, so close enough. Thanks for following along guys!
Sometimes I don’t like a short story. Sometimes, it launches me into a rant about why I don’t like particular styles of writing. Today, is one of those days. On a happier note, at the end of this post is a video (hopefully it works!) of my first television book segment. Feel free to skip…
I got up super early to film this today, so the lighting is bad and I’m wearing glasses. And my trusty bathrobe makes its first appearance. Still, I’m committed to this thing and I’m going to see it through! Also, this story is hilarious and highly recommended.
I don’t like to post more than one article a day because I know y’all got lots on, so here are the videos from yesterday and today’s advent calendar unveilings!

So kind of a weird story today. In fact, it’s not even really a story, but I felt like I had somewhat insightful comments on it nonetheless.
Ugh I hate this new WordPress format on my screen. Presumably you dear readers won’t notice a difference but I’m struggling to write this in their new set-up! Anywho, below is my short story advent calendar video for December 6. Smokey makes an appearance, and I try to focus on what I’m saying while making…
Whoa, where does the time go? Turns out I didn’t get my tooth pulled today, but my excuse for not posting yesterday is still legit, I was indeed filming a few television segments! More on that later, but in the meantime, enjoy these videos, where the last one includes my kid hacking in the background……
