Hi. I\u2019m Sean, a podcaster, singer-songwriter, teacher, longtime librivox volunteer and dad in Midland, Ontario, Canada. I’m known as ductapeguy all over the interwebz, mostly because I wrote a song about duct tape and it stuck. In 2013,\u00a0I\u00a0participated in 2 songwriting challenges: February Album Writing Month and the Fifty Songs in Ninety Days Challenge. In all I wrote 49\u00a0songs in 2013. \u00a0That is more than the total songs I had written in the past 20 years.<\/p>\n
Late September 2013,\u00a0my eighth grade daughter presented me with a challenge I could hardly refuse. She said that if I participated in National November Novel Writing Month (Nanowrimo), then she would as well. We both completed our first novels! \u00a0Hooray! \u00a0We documented the journey on our blog: We’re Writing What?<\/a><\/p>\n My Novel is entitled, Time for the Fair. \u00a0Here is how it came to be. \u00a0Last\u00a0summer, I entered a contest to become one of 10 official CNE bloggers. I was successful and my family spent over a week enjoying all that the Canadian National Exhibition has to offer. My daughter and I also went to our first FanExpo dressed as Dr. Who characters. In late September, my daughter gave me a challenge I could not refuse- “If you do Nanowrimo, I will do Nanowrimo”.<\/p>\n It was my first time attempting to tell a novel-length story. I drew\u00a0from all sorts of other time travel stories including The Oddyssey, Back to the Future, Dr. Who, Bill and Ted, a couple of Lewis Shiner’s books, Forrest Gump and more.<\/p>\n Last winter and this summer I polished and edited the story and\u00a0recorded it for podcasting. \u00a0I hope you enjoy it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
