Way back in the early 2000s, like 2004-ish maybe, give or take, I wrote a screenplay. It was a full 90 minutes of mostly unrelated scenes with me as the host, appearing in-between scenes, explaining the scenes. It was created with the idea of incorporating four friends from the role playing group that I was

Well, my “Uncle Jeff Reads” series continues with the addition of the sequel to The Tale of Peter Rabbit, called The Tale of Benjamin Bunny. You can check it out here: https://jeffwood.com/the-tale-of-benjamin-bunny/ Not much of a post, I know, but still, something written is better than nothing written. I need to find another public domain

I’m sure you’ve heard it before. You, as an aspiring (or current), writer have checked on the writing habits of your favorite writers. Sometimes they say, “I write best in the early morning” or “I write during my lunch break” or some other such variation. I want to say (but may be remembering wrong) that

I think for me, one of the biggest challenges are not knowing how to tell if a girl is actually interested in the first place. I mean, that’s a complaint by many men, but I’m autistic, so I don’t necessarily pick up on direct hints much less subtle, flirty ones. Well, to be honest, I

I’ve known more than one aspiring author in my lifetime. Offhand, two of them are now published authors. I myself, have had two poems published, many a moon ago. If you are any type of writer, whether it’s writing a book, a script, a blog post, an email, a love letter, or anything else, whether

I used to do some theater. It’s one of the few interests of mine that I’ve stuck with over the years. I’d considered doing voice acting off and on as a way to continue acting without them needing my less-than-Hollywood appearance, which (in theory at least) makes casting me in roles a much easier possibility

Ever since my near-fatal car accident, I am regularly asked, especially at work, some variation of “how long until you’re back to 100%?” Well, honestly, I may never be 100% again. Some of the injuries are taking a very very long time to heal, some others will only heal if I get additional surgeries, and

An update for those of you who are curious and remember that I was going through my phone and deleting old memes. I finally finished 2024 this morning. It felt like it took forever. What started as a “one month a day” has turned into a “one month whenever I have a lot of extra

When I entered high school, I met Linda Highman, who would be my English teacher and drama director for the next four years… and my drama director for many years after. I’ve done several plays with her in college, and at a couple of different churches. They were a lot of fun and one of

I confess, I’m having a rough time. I was talking with my men’s coach and I was rather caught off guard when he said, “of course you’re feeling what you feel and you’re making all these bad decisions, it makes perfect sense”. It didn’t make sense to me, because I was so mentally tied up
