Kevin Smith & Jason Mewes now have autographed copies of Self-help for Stoners! YAY!

Last night I shook hands and had a chat with Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith (Jay and Silent Bob for those not in the cult). Each now have a signed copy of my book, Self-help for Stoners. They couldn’t have been more gracious, interested, warm or friendly. It was a big moment for me, especially when Kevin recognized the book and said, “Hey! I know you!”

Each got a personalized recommendation for stories they might particularly like from Self-help and it was a genuine pleasure all around. We laughed a lot. As always, of course, Kevin spoke inspired and inspiring words about writing and the creative process.

I’m a bit emotional today. (Scratch that. I’m very emotional today.) It was a milestone in the evolution, not just of the book, but for me taking the leap to writing full-time. It was just over a year ago that I decided I needed to “stop chasing the puck” and quit my job of twenty years. (I won’t rehash that story here, but you can always watch the video on the Inspiration page.) Things went full circle last night. And now? Onward. Three novels are coming out this year with my name on them. Hoo-ha!

I must make this writing thing work.

Bonus? As I walked up onstage, Jay sang Paperback Writer. Yes!

The My Bloody Throat Edition

 

Click here to go to some of my books. Or just listen to the podcast and get uncomfortably entertained.

Due to scary and ugly circumstances that shall be revealed, Chazz goes long, raw, uncut, unedited and au natural in this podcast that goes off the rails and maybe off a cliff. No music. Just me speaking directly into your head. Move over brain. This trip will get uncomfortable. 

In this episode of the Self-help for Stoners podcast, I talk about: going to see director Kevin Smith, my secret superhero origins and we confront the existential abyss together and giggle nervously. I read three excerpts from the book: two short self-help pieces and one long story called Context in which we…uh…well, it’s surprise.

You can listen here, of course, or on iTunes or on Stitcher. To enter a draw for a $100 cash card, download the Stitcher app from your app store and enter the promo code SELFHELPSTONERS. (Yeah, I know. They couldn’t give me a longer promo code without switching to Mandarin.) Stitcher’s great for streaming, though, because it takes up no room on your phone and you don’t have to go to the bother of hooking up to your computer with a cable like you’re Amish or something.

Technical problems resolved

The tech problems with my podcast players have been resolved, though I honestly don’t know how that happened. I was halfway through the goat sacrifice and the Wizzard players came back. Hm. It is a “Wizzard” player, so magic might be involved. Perhaps the software sensed my intentions. My friend Dave Jackson from the School of Podcasting (@DaveJackson) will probably chat with me this afternoon and explain why I shouldn’t be at all confused. I’ll feel dumb but he’ll be nice about it.

So, you can listen to The Jesus Harold Christ Edition of the Self-help for Stoners podcast below, free and freely! Enjoy it and expect the next podcast edition (Be more Shatner!) will arrive tomorrow. (Don’t miss a podcast. The subscribe button is over there to the right.)

Hurray.
Hurrah.
Also? Huzzah!

Nobody says “Huzzah!” anymore. I miss that. I”m trying to bring it back.
