Official blog of Chris Carlisle… obviously

Only one week left in my 30 days project. Nothing in print as of yet, but I have learned a lot more about the process than I knew before. In hindsight I haven’t been writing as much or as often as I intended since my day job and home life have required some extra attention. [...]

What would Jesus Eat?
Coming soon to a bookstore near you.
Seems like a high carb diet if you ask me.

Princess Diana’s kidney!
(And you thought those commemorative plates from her wedding to Prince Charles would be worth something.)

Phew!
I managed to quell my darker side (for now). There are plenty of review sites out there so I won’t put my review of Return of the Sith up here. I’ll just say that I was highly pleased with the film.
I also managed to snag a friend this weekend. He was the last one [...]

My first round of submissions went out yesterday evening. I tweaked my old post about fringe celebs and sent it to some online magazines, or e-zines as I loathe to call them. I also submitted a second article about the upcoming Star Wars movie as well. I’ll post it here once I know for certain [...]

I am seven days into my 30 day push for publication. Here is my progress so far:
There is no progress to report.
Not entirely true, I suppose. I have done some research into which markets or publications I want to send my work to, but as far as actually writing anything and sending it [...]
