The Blog of Jared Head
I’d like to think I’m a part of a new generation of great writers; maybe spark a revolution in the authorial world. I’m young, so there’s plenty of time.

Finish
Will it ever end?
That’s a question I ask myself on a near nightly basis. I’m not sure what my problem is. Has the fun of writing this short novel worn itself thin or am I just stalling to try and continue this experience that has changed me for the better forever.
It really has. I’ve changed [...]
Fears
1) The Dark – I don’t know whether with me to call it a fear of the dark or just a general uneasiness in darkness. As a kid bedtime was terrifying for me and it took something that generated background noise to finally lull me to sleep. This is something that I still have today, [...]
Mid-Century Modern
During discussions today a friend and I came to the conclusion that the art movement known as Mid-Century Modernism (my favorite) has almost no pretentiousness to be found within. My explination was long, drawn out, and something rather Harold Bloom-ish.
His was much better with its short, concise reasoning and sounds even better when spoken:
“That’s because all the [...]
Get A Flu Shot
My absence over the past few days is attributed to catching the flu.
My advice: Get a flu shot.
Get It Done
That’s my goal for tonight: finish this fucking novel.
I’ve had about 6 Cokes, 2 Arnold Palmer’s, a individual alfredo chicken pizza and a full pizookie (Google it) with vanilla ice cream. If that doesn’t scream long haul I don’t know what to tell you folks.
It’s been a work in progress. What started as a NaNoWriMo idea [...]
Purple Prose
On a dark and stormy night, I was warned of its existence. Avoid if you can, satirize if you must.
But then again, isn’t it chicle cliche to avoid all the cliches?
Uh-oh, time to reconsider; amiright?
No, you’re wrong.
While I Play Unfitting Music
Ever have those moments when you’re working on something and the most unfitting, clashing kind of music comes on?
I’m sitting here writing about a car chase to gun battle in Downtown Long Beach while the theme to the video game Katamari Damacy (one of the few video games who’s music I enjoyed). Seriously, rolling things up with [...]

Today’s wake-up song: “New Year’s Day” by U2
My name is Jared H-E-to the A-D. I like to write sometimes when I’m lazy, and even listen to Jay-Z occasionally.
Oh my was that delightfully awful.
So people gonna’ rock, people gonna’ roll, writing is gon’ save my soul. You see, this is how it works for me. Writing [...]
The Columbia Memorial Space Center: A Tour
PEeps, I’ve been busy of late. Yes, as I always inform you (or lack of informing) I am now working at a local museum. The Columbia Memorial Space Center. A national monument to the crew of STS-107 that was lost over Texas as the Columbia broke-up on re-entry Feb. 1st, 2003.
A museum devoted to engineering [...]
