I'm Chad. I play music & write books for a living.
I spend more time on the road than I do at home, and I definitely think dreaming is essential.

This summer heat is wearing on me. I’ve never been more excited for fall in my entire life.
Anyway, I’ve been working on a good bit with my writing somewhat secretly lately. Aside from my next poetry book, I’ve finally come up with an idea for something I’ve been wanting to do for a very long time. I have no clue when I’ll be ready to announce more on this idea, but nevertheless, I’m excited for it.

In an attempt to raise awareness about this new Star Wars blog of mine, StrWrs.tumblr.com, I’m reposting this image I made and originally posted on my personal blog a while back. It originally got about 1500 reblogs on it’s on, so hopefully this will get around again and spread the word!
So, for any of you Star Wars fans out there that see this, please feel free to follow the blog, because I’ll be launching it soon as an attempt to create a Star Wars blog that actually fits well in 2010.
If you’re a fan of Star Wars, feel free to follow my new blog @ strwrs.tumblr.com.
Star Wars.
I’m officially starting a Star Wars blog, because 1) I’m a nerd at heart & 2) there just aren’t any Star Wars blogs out there that I feel cater to my generation, they all feel dated. Feel free to follow @ strwrs.tumblr.com.

Inspiration?
One of the top 5 questions I get asked, whether pertaining to my music or the author side of things, is: Where do you get your inspiration?
Well, I’ll explain the biggest form of it right now, very quickly.
I’m sitting here, going about my normal day while off tour, working on things. I look out the window in my office at my apartment and notice a swarm of something (looks like a hell-ton of gnats to me.) I then immediately open a blank text file and start typing for about 45 seconds. I finish, and it turns out to be a poem that has nothing to do with gnats, but instead a poem about war and myself.
My point of this is to say, as I usually stress to people, writing should never be forced. It’s meant to be a natural thing. Inspiration is a strange thing, and a very loveable one at that. Be patient with it, and it will be kind to you.
THE ENDLESS NOTHING.
I recently got back from a trip to northern Michigan. A trip in which I was planning to finish writing my third poetry book (I even purchased a new Moleskine to fill up on the duration of the trip.) However, instead of writing, I lived. I ended up doing a handful of things I had never done before - my favorite of which was kayaking.
Anyway, I wanted to post this update and finally share that while most of my third book is finished, there is still a good bit to go. I’ll be taking the next few weeks to make an attempt at finishing up with the writing, and hopefully the book will be ready for your hands by early this fall.
Oh, and lastly, I thought I’d share…
The title of my third book shall be, The Endless Nothing.
P.S. - Terribly sorry about the lack of updates here, I’ll do my best to document my life while finishing this book a bit better from here on out.

Wow. This is truly one of the greatest/most selfless things I’ve ever heard of a human doing.
I absolutely love everything about this commercial.
(Please note, I don’t fall in love with commercials often)
