I have a new essay available in the current* edition of Script Magazine.

Several years ago, my writing partner and I wrote a quaint, little videogame known as CALL OF DUTY 2: BIG RED ONE. It turns out, it was quite a hit and, before we knew it, our script had been nominated for the game developer's equivalent of the Oscar. I made the trek to Las Vegas for the award ceremony, determined -quite simply- not to embarrass myself. Of course, if I'd succeeded, there wouldn't be much of a story, would there? Check it out!
