About Myself: Well, I'm not a big fan of writing about myself. Nonetheless, here goes... I work full-time at the Missouri University of Science and Technology as a Video Production Specialist in relation to Distance Education. When I'm not doing that I'm working with our independent production company (Onyx Dragon Productions, LLC). We've filmed many short films, worked on a few TV shows, filmed one full-length film (which is still in post production) and working on my first full-length, filmed a few weddings, commercials, worked with SIDEKICK Sketch Comedy of The Skinny Improv of Springfield, Missouri and many, many other projects.

When I'm not doing those types of things, I'm usually working with church matters and when I'm not doing that I'm usually relaxing... or writing.

Writing is one of my fondest passions. Though I think I have developed better into a script writer (rather than a short story or novel writer), short stories is where I started and I still enjoy them so.

Keep up the good works, peeps.

UPDATES-- (12-18-08)
1. Currently developing chapter 6 and 7 of "The Agency" [note all stories with either "Agent" or "Agency" within title]. The story is about to blow up big and take a turn--quite a turn.

2. Developing a prequel to "Exit to Nowhere." Sure to be a scary treat, I assure.

3. UPLOADED latest addition to "Jason Richard Wright." Check out Faye.

In actuality I don't believe in aliens. This story was a blast to write. I had one day left, having been out of contact with the world for 2 weeks after Aidyn's birth. I really had no clue what I was gonna write and then somehow this ridiculous idea hit me and I wrote it in a whirlwind. 
 
So absurd. I'm glad the peeps seem to enjoy it. It's like "Twilight Zone" on crack.

Fabulous...
And thought provoking. I often am the "fool" it seems, though I often sit back and remark. It is not foolishness or happiness that usually has me remarking but impoliteness and such. I enjoy looking from both sides, though. You have to in life. I don't know that I am ever "turned off" by peeps having a good time within the confides of reason, I suppose. I'm not sure if I just contradicted myself or not. But I would not think little of the couple, as a couple you gotta do what you gotta do. 
 
Everybody has their own insights to happiness. For example, the greatest gift I could give my wife soon is "Fable 2" for Xbox 360. Most people would see that and think that I am the most un-romantic person in the world. But, we're not all the same, eh? Surely not. And it does take courage (or stupidity) to make a "fool" of one's self. Either way, it is often oh so relative. 
 
Excellent story. I am happy to see you writing again. :)

Title article: Despair, Chapter 1

I like it...
It's an odd, mysterious piece. I desire to keep reading it. Any story that explores dreams is usually pretty intriquing, I find. I have a screenplay on dreams I've been working on (slowly) for about 3 or 4 years. Anyway, write on.

Re: Dirkin
Regarding the passage, I wrote it that way because I didn't want to reveal her intentions through the subject. I realize it is kind of like "huh"? I may have to reconsider it though, it seems most people didn't seem to understand or appreciate the passage the way it was. 
 
I believe her actions were based upon adrenaline, instinct and the theory Rob discussed with her. That since she was presented with an opportunity to "be done with him" and probably get away with it, she was going to take it. This would be the basic human instinct that Rob eluded to. This was kind of the idea of the story... I'm not saying it's my best. 
 
One of these days I'll actually write the true story, in its complete form. It's actually better than this version, based loosely on the real event. Once I find time, I'll have to go through an interview with the person and put it together. Any rate... 
 
It is interesting to me how this story seems to hit and miss so easily.

Trivia
1. Had a list of possible character names, one was Lucy in the Skye. Figured, naturally, that I would use it for a female character. When I began to write this chapter, I realized I didn't have a name for the neighbor and looked to my list--the only name remaining was Lucy in the Skye. I liked it, and used it. 
 
2. The Rolling Stone is the first character I've ever written that smokes cigarettes. I found this tidbit odd. Never realized I had not included smokers in my stories until I decided he was going to get some cigarettes from Lucy... found myself thinking, "Hey, wait... this is a first." It took over 10 years of writing for me to write in a cigarette. Strange.

Excellent execution
Jason has written an excellent story here. It is a formidable addition to the project, I must say. I've never read anything so exquisite on this site. 
 
Best story ever... I mean, this is like the "Citizen Kane" of short stories. 
 
Hmph... slacker. :) 
 
And what's this nonsense of cats? Sounds puuuurty weird. LAME. Had to get my lame pun in, too.

Guilty?
Well, I haven't finished reading the rest of the chapters... I think I stopped at 5 or 6 before the weekend hit. I hope I'm not guilty... yikes! 
 
Yeah, I took some liberties that I weren't sure would play out, like talking about someone noticing me not drinking the wine and obviously telling Davidson. I was afraid it might cause conflicts, but I took the chance. I figured Max and Huff would scold me if I messed up the masterpiece. :)

Scandalous
This was a dirty chapter. Tisk, tisk. Good writing, though. 
 
We are off to a great start to this story, me thinks.

Oh, my...
You wrote in script form? Lucky, I think I'm better writing in script form. I liked. Good job. Had to drag Stephen King into, too, I see. Oh, my... ironic.

Trivia
1. The homeless man incident actually happened to me the other day. There was something very surreal about it. I did think he was flipping me off at first, but he wasn't. It was quite creepy. Though, I didn't call him a "dumb hobo", that's just mean. He obviously wasn't all there. 
 
2. The older brother incident is a reference to Alfred Hitchcock's "Spellbound." 
 
3. I washed dishes as a delivery driver at Pizza Hut for 2 years, and it pretty much makes you feel this way sometimes. To get the number 3,018 I multiplied 365 days by 10 years, then subtracted 100 days and then 532 days. So, Link has been washing dishes anywhere between 8 to 10 years.

Oh wow! that is soo awesome congrats to you and your wife!

Yeah, I wrote those stories a long while ago. I'm going to clean them up and maybe post them again. Since I'm learning new skills all the time, my old writing seems terrible to me when I look back on it. I guess thats just the way it works, though
