Time To Pivot
If I were to describe my time in Calgary, I would describe it as the season of ghosts. I had so many yeses to my services and word from people that they would call me. People I trusted. It didn’t happen. Sometimes things happen and I expect it. One person went out of their way to explain it. The rest?
Ghosted.
I cannot express just how much I hate being ghosted. I would rather the no than the…

What People Want At Your Job
This month was a stern reminder to me what the job of being an artist truly is. This month I had confirmed four yeses for some form of advertising with my services. Of the four, one came through. One of the other three talked to me about it. The other two? Disappeared. I hadn’t heard a word from them.
I got ghosted.
It sucks. I despise this. It’s part of the business, but it’s amazing to me so…

The Three Types of Creatives
I’ve done a lot of interviews doing the podcast, and in the process I’ve had the pleasure of meeting many different creatives throughout the years. Every one of us has a dream of making it. Some pursue that thing more fully than others. I don’t think it’s a knock, but when I look at the three types, we all fall into one of three categories.
Category 1: Do it for the Love
Some of my favorite…

Lights Out: My Graphic Novel
I announced it in my newsletter last week. Here is the official word for everyone else.
I’m working on my first graphic novel.
I started my art journey in 2020. I didn’t do it because I was good. I did it to grow, to challenge myself, to become uncomfortable in the best ways.
And I chose to share it to the world.
My drawing’s have already gone to places I never imagined it would. I’m a…

Good Is Up For Grabs
Good is up for grabs, and it's wonderful.
One of my favorite scenes in the Dark Tower saga is when Eddie figures out how to outwit Blaine the Mono. Blaine the mono was an unhinged AI Train who had the entire Ka-Tet at his mercy. In order to get off the train with their lives, Roland the Gunslinger and the rest of the Ka-tet engage in a battle of riddles against Blaine, as Blaine’s love of riddles is used to create this contest. One by…

What's Next
2023 is nearly over. 2024 is very much on my mind and what I want to do. I’ve accomplished a lot in 2023. The following things have happened career wise for me.
Part 1: My Successes
Writing
I did my first ever pieces of ghost writing this year. Can’t say for who and for what, but I wrote over 20k words for a client this year. On top of that, I wrote a piece for a comic anthology on…

Eight Modules
So with my podcast course, I am offering eight modules. Four of them are for beginners, and four of them are for more advanced thinkers in podcasting.
The first four modules are the basics. I explain what a podcast is and what you need to begin. (Module one.) I talk about creating your show and what you’re looking to do (Module two). Module two is a little more advanced than a beginner. It’s…

Podcast Course
I think I can teach this.
Episode 1025 of the podcast is about to drop. I’ve produced 4 other shows, for companies and for clients, so I have a really good idea on how to produce a show, and get an audience for it. With the holidays around the corner, I thought I’d teach you how.
I’ve learned so much about doing podcasts, and have a ton to teach you.
So at the bottom of the page, if you are…

Healing Hands Episode One: Commentary
Episode 1 of Healing Hands is live! Shelniel Bostic has crafted a massage therapy show unlike any other, and I thought for this blog, I’d do some behind the scenes not just about this show, but all episode one shows in particular.
Feel free to watch along
Here is episode one, which you can watch right here. (Don’t forget to subscribe to the channel as well while you’re there!)
The first…

Healing Hands
Healing Hands is my latest project. Co-created and hosted by Shelniel Bostic, Healing Hands is a massage therapy education show. Shelniel wanted to create a show to showcase the accumulated knowledge she has accrued in her profession over the last decade or so.
Shelniel is one of the most talented healers I know. I met her nearly a decade ago when we both worked at the same place. To her credit…

Episode 1000
Today’s the day I crack 1000 episodes of Just Joshing.
I never thought I’d get there. I’ve been quietly thanking specific people on my facebook, and a couple of other places, but I wanted to write a quick note here for everyone else.
This has truly been an incredible journey. I never imagined I’d have 1000 episodes of a podcast under my belt. Ever. It never was the plan, and wouldn’t have been…

The Time of My Life...My WWC Experience
In 2016 I made my first appearance at When Words Collide. Randy McCharles invited me to the show. I had a table that year with my first book, the Watcher, and I spent the weekend selling. The highlight that year? Diana Gabaldon actually bought one of my books. That’s still a cool experience I’ll never forget.
In 2016, my second year, I interviewed Robert J. Sawyer and it changed my life. I ended…

My First Commission From Morpheus of The Matrix
There’s a lot going on right now. I’ve been catching up since San Diego Comic Con. I’m working on a video series to launch in September, I’m wrapping up the Twitch Era of Just Joshing, and I got to still tell the story of San Diego Comic Con. That will be a blog later this week, or you can subscribe to my newsletter right now, and get it for yourself later on, before I release it right before…

Respect Begets Respect
So I don’t normally condone this, but there’s a lesson or two.
Today I just upped and moved out of my current place. I didn’t say anything. It’s not a good way to do business. I don’t like doing things this way. But I did here.
About 10 months ago, a bonus I was supposed to get on a contract didn’t come through on time. I was depending on it to pay rent. Knowing I would be behind, I let my…

I Care About My Time
I take wasting time very personally. It might be a character flaw. It comes from the last two years of watching all kinds of attempts to connect fall through fingers. Maybe I’m jumpy as a result. That said, I really do care about this. It bothers me when people you know disappear when you reach out to them. One particular individual took the cake. In the last year I was invited to three events by…

Patreon is live
My Patreon is back!
As I said in my last post, I’m getting ready to undergo the greatest midlife crisis ever, or I’m growing up, we’ll see. That said, I’m already taking a big step today by relaunching my patreon.
So here’s the pitch: I’m approaching 1000 Episodes. What am I going to do with the show after I hit 1000? The answer to the question is already underway. I’ve been doing secret shows for the podcast for…

The Greatest Midlife Crisis Ever...
…Or, me finally growing up.
You decide.
I posted about this at the beginning of the year, so if you want to read it, click the link, and catch up. When you’re done, I’ll still be here. I promise.
Back? Good.
So the last two weeks has been eye opening for me. I decided to put it out to the universe a big question. Can I get work at will? What I mean by that, is that can I steadily get work in…
