After a long hiatus of being just a writer I’m going back to filmmaking and I’m starting off by making some sketches. If you or any of your friends local to Los Angeles are interested in helping out, I’m looking for CREW and ACTORS interested in doing short comedy pieces. I have several lined up and can use a variety of shapes, sizes, etc.

Happy Holidays!
Thanksgiving has just wooshed by us and I have good news! Last week I was notified that several of my literary poetry works have been accepted for publication (although the details remain a bit hush hush at the moment).
In other news, be sure to check out my other blogs:
- Minimalist Reviews: Compact all-encompassing reviews from a storyteller’s perspective which examine structure, execution, technical and spectacle in a brief, efficient format.
- Story Science: Free writing blog that focuses on the technical craft of storytelling. We also offer professional script analysis services.

Minimalization
Revising my portfolio again, now that this crazy thing has become such a huge confusing mess. I’m going back to my minimalist ideals and making everything here at JGE as straightforward and inoffensive to the eye as possible — so if you see things start to change, don’t panic. It’s completely normal.
In other news, I recently submitted about 30 short works to lit mags around the country. I expect to receive at least one or two bites, but those of you familiar with the mystical world of literary magazines will know that my submissions have disappeared into a black hole nexus for the next four months or so.
In the meantime, be sure to check out my two ongoing blogs, Minimalist Reviews and Story Science, both of which post informative articles on a weekly (or sometimes bi-weekly) basis. Last week’s articles proved very popular: Minimalist Review of Argo, a film by Affleck and The Outrageous Justification Writing Exercise. This week’s articles are: Minimalist Review of Jiro Dreams of Sushi, a film by David Gelb and Violence and Story.

Hot Off the Press! New Haiku from Three Line Poetry
I’ve been published again and this time I have two haiku appearing in Three Line Poetry issue #11, edited by Glenn Lyvers.

Kindle (half price)
Online(free)
Don’t pass up this opportunity to read some great new poetry for free or, for a small sum, in print.

Shameless Self-Promotion
In this episode of shameless self-promotion, I want to bring to your attention my two main blogs: Minimalist Reviews and Story Science. I’m trying to push some traffic to my blogs so please have a click and see what they are all about.
Minimalist Reviews is a film and book review blog which discusses the storytelling techniques of each work in minimalist fashion. No 10-page reviews here.
Story Science is a consultation service (run by me) whose blog portion delivers unique articles on the craft of storytelling as well as twice monthly writing exercises.
Until next time, ciao!

3 Poems, 1 Week
A few weeks ago I submitted 23 finished poems to literary magazines all over the country. As of today, I have 3 / 7 accepted for publication. One has already been posted at Drunk Monkeys (“Edith Wharton and Old Samurai Movies“) while the other two, accepted at ThreeLinePoetry.com, are still forthcoming. Any day now, rejection letters will come pouring through my door, but until then I’m going to remain naively optimistic.
Here’s to a great year so far!
In other news, after two months I’ve finally managed to post my last two art photography video slideshows on my portfolio (Monochrome and Ruminations in Sand, 2011 and 2012 respectively). Be sure to check them out and let me know what you think.
I’m done with my experimentation in beautifying point-and-click wide-angle photography. Upgrading to a bigger camera soon. Since I’m on a budget, I’m looking at the Canon T2i or Nikon D5100, plus a medium (15-55mm) and long lens (either 50-250mm or hopefully 75-300mm).
Also, my two latest film projects are well underway: Eggies (post and pics coming soon) and an as-of-yet untitled serious short film which is currently being scripted. More on those projects later.
Until then, keep on dreaming and creating. We were given imagination so that we could weave worlds without. Remember that.
And ciao.
