Joe Procopio hopes to start trading on his own name very soon, because too many people know what Max Barry looks like these days. He's written for a number of online and offline publications from the late, lamented Smug to the fancy-pants Chicago Tribune and also for television. He's a novelist, a shredder, and a joker, but also a family man, just not in that horrible Nic Cage way. You can follow him on Twitter @jproco

This isn't what it sounds like.
This is less a personal ad and more an open letter to my wife. If she's busy and can't fulfill these obligations, then I'll settle for an ex-girlfriend or any reasonably famous young actress.
This really, really isn't what it sounds like.
After my last (and I swore final) band broke up a couple years ago, I've been on a meandering solo kick, only not the kind of meandering that involves expensively noodling around in the studio to the total satisfaction of my inner muse.
No, this is more meandering like "Hey, all the kids are asleep and the wife is watching something on Netflix. I bet she wouldn't even notice if I snuck out to the garage. I wonder if the garbage is full."
It's not even like that. I don't have to sneak out. That's just one more in a long list of awful, suburban excuses like mowing the lawn, earning a living, a kid is bleeding, that are just too easy to co...

PRIMARY PROJECT | |
Latest Journal Post: RELEASE!
I can't put into words how pumped I am about the fact that this book essentially went from idea to shelves in 30 days. It says a lot about how much we've refined the process, from selecting the columns to creating the presentation and artwork, to getting the whole thing together in one big project. It's a lot of work, but it's a labor of love.
It also says a lot about the quality of the writing and the writers inside. I'm a big proponent of the fact that it's easy to work on something that's great and impossible to create progress on something that's shoddy. The quality of every element of this book makes it easy to push, whether that's pushing the thing to come together or pushing it out the door and selling it.
So please testify.
