Friday Jun 17, 2022

Brian Asman is a writer, actor, and producer from San Diego, CA. He’s the author of the hit indie novella Man, Fuck this House (recently optioned by a major streaming service). I've had the pleasure of working a few conventions and panels with him and wanted to talk to him about: The amount of work he has put into his career and why he says yes to opportunity. The importance of swag and confidence. Grappling with depression, insecurity, and other struggles while staying positive and productive. How writing helps him, and much more I usually add one of my short stories at the end of the episode but instead will direct you to Brian's recent reading at Ghoulish - Here's that video Here is Brian's website - Brian Asman Books

Episode 164: Accountability, Action, and Accents

Friday Jun 03, 2022

Our household is finally free of Covid and my kids are finishing up the school year.  3:00 Although it has been a positive week, I look at the things that didn't help me and remove them. Adding the yoga before sleep back into my routine should be a big plus. 6:20 I just finished my final session of the trauma release hypnosis. It was focused on envisioning my future success. Coming out of the session, I was struck by the realization that I have already accomplished so many of my goals. 11:00 I'm taking action to grow the podcast and my readership. This week I will be recording with podcasts in the UK and Australia. Also in the process of cleaning up my Amazon author page. Also settting up free books. This week Brightside is free on kindle. 17:50 Thanks to some inspiration from a reader, my family has started learning Italian on Duolingo. I'm not sure how long it will continue, but I'm excited about learning multiple languages. 23:50 I am finishing up Chapters 2-4 of Our Fucked-Up Little Family before jumping back into TNTD: In the WIld West. I review Duncan Ralston's Ghostland and discuss the Try Not to Die being set in that world. 30:30 The short story "Stuffed" from Morsels of Mayhem narrated by Gabriel Michael.

Episode 163: Interactions and Intercourse

Friday May 27, 2022

My wife and daughter still have Covid, my son and I still negative.    We are keeping things positive and using the time to bond. In addition to our nightly swim sessions we've added in drawing/yoga right before bed.   I'm grateful for all of the messages I received this week and wanted to share what these interactions mean to me.   I go over the new and disgusting scenes I've developed for Our Fucked-Up Little Family. Some of the sex in it will be kinky, some incredibly disgusting. Something for everyone.   I narrate the last two scenes from Try Not to Die: At Grandma's House.
