I’m officially announcing my trip to Hawaii! For this occasion I have created a special website: Hawaii Trip. The site is still in a basic form, but I will be updating it regularly once my vacation starts. I’m planning on doing some light updates to the site this coming week to get it ready for the trip. I’ll be leaving this  Saturday and will becoming home on the following Saturday.

This will be my first time flying. I’m not really nervous about it right now, I’m just not looking forward to the long wait due to the security process. Oh well, that’s just how it is. It should be fun, even though I will be spending some of my time in Hawaii doing school work! And of course, you all will be able to follow along with my adventure in Hawaii if you choose to!

I probably wont make another blog post on this site until after the trip so this post should stay up top on this site. Just remember, the link is at the top of this post so you can easily access the new site. After the trip, I’ll probably not update my Hawaii site, but I’ll leave it up for fun.

That’s all for now boys and girls! I’ll see you in Hawaii! (Well figuratively speaking)

Well, finally I set aside some time to make my latest announcement which I was intending to do last week. I have been working on a somewhat secret project for the past few months. When I started writing, I wanted to focus on novels. I thought I wanted to break into the literary business. It was a fun and humbling experience to be sure. For the past few years I have been looking for new formats to show my creative side. I started writing short stories, then I did my first audio book, and finally thought about writing movie scripts. But then I thought about the internet, how amazing the things you can do with it! So, I came up with a new idea, an internet show sort of based on the television show format. I teamed up with my good friend, Mark Mushakian, and together we created “Midnight Psychology.”

The show is about a man named Robert MacDonwald who is a bit eccentric. One late night, Robert goes over to his neighbor’s house and asks him to video tape something. The curious and anxious neighbor Sam decides to see what’s up. What ensues can only be described as insanity and hilarity. The first episode is titled “Weird Neighbor” and can be found on YouTube. Or you can watch it right here! There are currently two episodes that are finished and posted. Two more episodes are in production. And hopefully many more to come!

Here is part 2 of the first episode:

I’ll be posting episode 2 on this site in a day or two. You can watch it now on YouTube at:

Just a quick site update. It appears that Internet Explorer is not loading my website correctly. I do apologize for this, though it’s not my fault! It could be wordpress or maybe just IE. Whatever the case, you can always us an alternative browser like Safari or Firefox.

Also, my original plan to continue my video blog has been suspended for now. Mostly due to laziness and school. I’m also going to blame the temperatures out here in California too, somehow that’s involved.

Anyway, if you are having trouble viewing my website just try one of the links above to download a different browser.

Yes, I haven’t been posting any blogs in a while, and for that I do apologize!  School has been keeping my busy.  It’s going well so far and I’m really enjoying the online class taking experience.  I’m already a bit over half way through.  I really feel like I made the smart decide to go back to school.

On another note, I finished my story for the World of Warcraft writing contest and I did submit it on Saturday!  I think it came out relatively well.  Unfortunately, I did not have much time to edit it, so it’s probably a bit rough around the edges.  Even so, I’m proud of how it ended up!  I’ve added the story to my downloads section of my site for all of you to read it.  It really focuses on my real WoW characters and adds an interesting back story.

The story takes place during the time when WoW started lore wise.  Scotrin, a mage recently suspended by the Kirin Tor, continues a personal quest to find the murder of his lost love.  He travels to Westfall, a county of the kingdom of Storwind, to begin his investigation.  There is adventure and mystery as Scotrin deals with the nefarious Defias Brotherhood!  Download it now! The Defias Mystery

Ok then, so that is what I have to report for this week!  Happy week to you all!

Ok folks, I have a few things to talk about!  First thing is first, I have been very busy as of late and I do admit until a few days ago.  Blizzard Entertainment, a software company, is currently holding a WoW tournament.  I’ve been practicing a lot and I really feel good about the team I’m in.  I’m playing a Restoration druid and I have to say I’m having a lot of fun with my healing spells.

Second, Blizzard also just kicked off a writing contest.  I’m really excited about it and I decided to enter the contest.  Here is the link: Blizzard Writing Contest. I’ve decided to use some of my in game characters and I have almost two chapters done so far!  It’s been really fun.

Finally, I do have a non-website announcement.  I’m going back to school!  I’ll be taking online classes from Ashford University in Iowa.  I’ve been thinking about it for a long time and I think this is a sound decision. I’ll be studying psychology.

Once I’m finished with my story for the writing contest I’ll post it here on my website for everyone to read.  My other writing projects will be postponed for a few weeks. 

Wade is back!  That’s right, I finally got my myself to finish the next chapter of “Wade.”  I think I brought in a new cool twist to the story and now it’s starting to pick up the pace a bit.  I’m really happy to have the next chapter posted.  I am also ready to announce that I am considering making it into a short story format.  I wasn’t sure where the story was going at first and I didn’t know if it was going to become a novel or not.  This will be my first short story that isn’t a romantic comedy and the best part is that it will be my first free online story!  One of the reasons I wanted to use this story in this way is so that you can see my process.  For those of you who have been following “Wade” since the beginning, you’ll notice my writing style improve.  That is because I’m posting each chapter with minor editing.  The story is still in it’s raw form, you could say.  Once the story is finished I’ll edit it myself along with a few friends and family.  Then the finish product will be uploaded to the site.  Check the download page or click this link to read the story: http://www.scottdavidbrown.com/projects/wade.pdf

When “Wade” is finished, I’ll probably have another free project that I’ll work on while I’m working on “Fallen Raven.”  It may be another short story or perhaps something else entirely.  I hope you all are enjoying “Wade” as much as I enjoy writing it.

OK friends, just a small little update to tell you all about.  I’ve added a simple web forum to the site!

If you feel like it, you can register for the forum and start posting.  It’s really basic right now, but I do plan on adding more content to it later.  Maybe make it look a little better.  I’ve already added some topic sections and it’s obviously a little quite right now.  Hopefully someday it will be a great place to chat.

This is my first news update for the new year!  Yay!  I’m proud to announce that you can now download a digital copy of “My Imperfect Life” for more then half the cost of the CD!  Thanks to Amazon.com and their Create Space website, I can now offer MP3 downloads.  So, here is the link to my audio book: http://www.amazon.com/My-Imperfect-Life-Explicit/dp/B001OM0DKA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1230961577&sr=8-2

I’m still waiting to see if iTunes will sponsor my audio book, but this is a done deal and you can add the MP3s into iTunes on your own.  And it’s probably going to be cheaper on amazon.com anyway.

I’d also like to announce that I have a new idea for my next short story.  Yes, I know I was going to take a break from adding new projects (I’ve been neglecting Wade and Fear), but I can’t help it.  It’s going to be based on a true story, but with a fictitious setting.  The story will be narrated by a character who will describe various negative experiences with women and how he was able to move on from them.  Each chapter will have one bad experience and then what the narrator thought and felt about it.  I think this is a really dynamic idea and I’m really excited about how it’s going to turn out.  I’m not sure if there will be an audio book version, but I do plan on publishing it with my other two short stories.  I want to self-publish a book of short stories in which I will include a print version of “My Imperfect Life” and “Little White Lie.”

So, stay tuned for that, I think it’s going to be quite a fun project!

My Imperfect Life Cover Art

Ok ladies and gents, after such a long process I have an official announcement.  I got my second proof from Cafepress.com and I am proud to announce that “My Imperfect Life” is officially released!   Yay!  The second design is much better and although I’m not completely satisfied with how they printed it, it is enough for me.  Over all, I think the cover art is much better now.  I commend Mark once again on a job well done.  I’ve also touched up the audio too.  Please take a moment to download the sample chapter in the downloads section.  You can listen to the complete first chapter for free and if you like it you can order a copy of the CD from my online store.  Just click on the picture above of the cover art.

I’m really excited about this project and it’s nice to have another completed work under my belt.  It also means I have a bit more time to relax before I shift my focus to the next project.

Ok, well this is going to make me sound crazy, but I’ve had a change of heart.  I’ve ordered a second proof with the new design of the audio book.  I was convinced.  Maybe I got a bit carried away and forgot that I probably didn’t format the templates correctly or size the photos right.  I’m hoping that is it.  We will see what happens when I get the new copy with our final cover art design.  I suppose you can disregaurd the first paragraph of my last news post.

On a lighter note, I am going to offer the audio book as a digital download from createspace.com.  So, If you can’t wait to hear the story from my mouth, you will be able to purchase a download copy.  If you’d perfer to have a CD copy of the audio book, you can wait a bit longer and order it from cafepress.com once I feel its ready.  It probably won’t be ready for Christmas, but at the beginning of the New Year.  We will see.

I do apologise for any confusion.  I’m very emotional and sometimes I get carried away.
