2: Ghost Protocol
In this, the second episode, I test a windshield mount for my iPhone, talk to myself in the car, take a week off from obsessing over my manuscript, and spend an evening as a ghost for some friends making a short film.

1: An Introduction
It’s the very first episode! In case you don’t know:
- My name is Gavin
- I’m a fiction writer in Baltimore
- I’m wrapping up my last semester in the super-awesome Creative Writing and Publishing Arts MFA program at the University of Baltimore
- I wrote a short story collection which will be out May 4, 2012
I’m still building the site, so if it gives you issues, consider it construction dust, and please pardon the mess.
More Site Progress
The site has leapt from Photoshop mock-up to WordPress template! I’ve made progress, but there’s still work to do. I’ve messed with PHP code, tweaked my CSS, and fought with YouTube, which insists on embedding video wider than 16:9 and adding pillarboxes on either side.
I’ve gone down a very geeky rabbit hole.
Still! Look at the picture above! The site is coming together!
A Great Way to Procrastinate
You know what’s a great way to procrastinate? Develop an idea for a video blog and design a site for it. Then, when you should be editing your manuscript, code the WordPress theme. You burn hours and you feel like you’re working!
