An Open Letter From The Oscar Buzz

Gene Kelly in An American in Paris

It is with sadness that I say that The Oscar Buzz will be entering a phase of hiatus over the next month, possibly longer. With this Oscar season over, I simply need time to re-energize batteries and take care of more personal and important matters before diving into potential summer content. While this will mean that I unfortunately won't be able to bring you reviews of new films such as Serena or Chappie, I will hopefully be coming back strong and ready for another exciting season of Oscar predictions. So what lies ahead for me? Read on to find out.

For starters, I am not giving up writing entirely during this venture of time. I am planning to maintain writing regiments on Readwave every Monday and Wednesday where I write about pop culture. I will also be at the flagship website Optigrab producing quality work, notably recaps on the TV shows Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Bob's Burgers, Girls and Mad Men. I am also currently running a music series on Bjork if you wish to peruse. I will also likely be posting any movie review between now and my return there, so keep an eye out for that.

I am also currently working on publishing short stories, which are available on Amazon, Smashwords, Barnes and Noble as well as wherever e-books are sold. 

Here's a quick rundown of each one and their pricing (click links for Amazon page):

"But Dad Never Listened to Danny Brown" ($2.99)

"Blue Matters" ($2.99)

"The Turkey Trotters" ($0.99)

"A Plagiarized Christmas: Part 1" ($2.99)

"A Plagiarized Christmas: Part 2" ($2.99)

"A Plagiarized Christmas: The Definitive Edition" ($3.99)

"Dead Horse in a Dead Town" ($2.99)

Also, coming out in March is the latest short story "A Meeting in the Bushes," which will be sold for $1.99.

So while I will leave momentarily from my duties, I have still provided a lot of quality content for you to peruse and hopefully enjoy. I will inform you of my return, hopefully by the end of March and provide a status update at the very least. I am looking forward to figuring out how to fill up some time between now and next Oscar season. I want to thank you for being patient and supportive.
