"I learned so much from being in a band about how to be a working artist, how to be disciplined and steady and not freak out if you sucked one night and were good the next.  Or if you wrote three terrible songs and then one good one and then the next month wrote one bad song and three good ones.  And also about structure and rhythm and when to follow the rules and when not to.  And how to be super simple.  And how to use your random emotions to your advantage.  Especially to make sure to "work" when you were upset or freaked out because not only did you feel better but you usually came up with something unusual and good."

Trying not to get overheated with all the excitement of the Recovery Road TV show.  

Saturday, December 12, 2015



Jennifer Lynch directed one of the episodes of RECOVERY ROAD, the TV drama adapted from my book of the same name.  She is of course the daughter of David Lynch, of Twin Peaks fame, which of course has an iconic TV show up here in the Pacific Northwest.

An old friend/Sassy editor posted this old press release for GIRL, my first novel.  The copy is pretty funny.  Grunge!  What is it?
