Back when “The Writing Gig” banded together every week, we shared small victories and portfolios. Since November, we started sharing on our own personal sites.
I bring three projects to show-and-tell today: a completed one, an in-progress one and a future one (or ones).
The Word Animation
MD Neely and Johnny Scott of CIY hired me to write narrations for four short episodes tracing the history of Scripture as they understand it. Their faith-based non-profit hosts conferences for youth trying to enrich their lives and move them to care for their communities.

Any guesses about the style or subject of the film that will use the graves?

Again, I know many of you come here for the impulsive pastimes and the censored opinions, so if you’ll bear us writers, professional artists and pastoral types for a brief moment:

That’s not an insult or anything, I just know some business-types don’t like change.
