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 [...]
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 [...]

Look Back
I’m sitting here now, close to 1am. Outside it’s cold as hell, a rare California freezer of a night. Clear sky though, I can see hundreds of stars, another rarity. I took a step outside to mentally recharge after almost three sold hours of writing.
I let “Gimmie Shelter” by The Rolling Stones flow forth from [...]
These past few weeks…a return!
Well, here we are folks. It’s been quite a while and a lot has happened.
I attended the opening of a new museum in my town, the Columbia Memorial Space Center. Funny thing happened too, as it turns out I know the director. After talking with him for a bit, I’m now currently a volunteer there. [...]
There – The Intro
Occasionally I feel like putting my work up on the firing range, and today I’m feeling good about what is the final product of something I came up with nearly 2 years ago. It’s a story that started because of my frustration at mathematics and how I noticed a relationship between zero and infinity in [...]
