I'm in between projects, so I've been passing the time writing these animated videos. I wrote the "So You Want to Go to Law School" video that went viral (and the subsequent episodes).

Here's another one, this one about our little hobby of writing. Hope you enjoy, and happy Thanksgiving.

When I started watching it, my first thought was you should have had the character say he'd come with with a "great idea for a novel" and it was sure to be a bestseller. Then, after half-way through, you did have the character say almost the exact thing I was thinking of.

Even better if it was a trilogy. Saying you're writing a trilogy is so much cooler than saying you're writing a novel.

I wish I owned it... alas, it's about $700 that I don't have (and I already have a comparable guitar, but it isn't THAT one... sob).

If you want to see better pictures, search for "Cort EVL-K4" on google images or youtube. :)

You know that scene in Jerry Maguire where he says, "You complete me?" I never thought I'd feel that way about a YouTube video...

I just saw this again on the front page and I laughed just as hard. Ranks right up there with "Patient Faking Seizure in ER".
