This morning at 0430, I was still awake, eating a grilled cheese, when I had that V8 moment. Why in the world would I want to be around people who stress me out when I’m seeking out fun and laughter? If I dread being around someone who has the patience of a gnat with it’s […]

Sighs. So torn right now. Giggles? Irritation? I’ve been trying to avoid things in my head for a while. That compartmentalization thing I’ve been mentioning. Usually, this works for me, to let go of bullshit. Not working right now. Neither is distraction. Although, what just happened is giving me quite the giggles. Humor has always […]

I’ve mentioned bubbles, in regards to writing, several times in these “answer questions” posts, so that’s what I want to focus on for this one. Bubbles are, to me, those moments where there is a sense of connection. They help set tone, pacing, emotional connection to the reader, and level of depth in the writing […]

Happy Holidays!!! I am having such a wonderful day. Jana did a really good job with my tat yesterday. I don’t have a pic of it yet, and that’s okay. I know it’s there. Feels good to get a wonderful memory commemorated. We had a wonderful visit. On a day that is normally crappy for […]

Super excited today. Going to see Jana for a new tattoo and to view the basic sketch of Ash’s book cover. Days with Jana are always full of laughter. The tattoo is for one of my recent movie moments. A moment of clear understanding between myself and another person. A rarity for me. This particular […]

There are lots of reasons why I write. Lots. But I’ll tell you a “secret.” There are things in life I’m passionate about. And the number of them has significantly decreased over the years. This is normal. Happy to say that. VERY happy to say that. I think one of the best “pair” of changes, […]

Back to writing… Laws, social and legal, are important to world building, when you’re coming up with an environment for your characters to live within. Let’s talk about legal laws first. While we, in most “developed” nations, enjoy a lot of protection from them, most laws are the exceptions that we “live by” to prevent […]

I get asked a lot of questions about what I do at night or how I survived what I did or why I write. And I’ll probably write a lot of these posts as answers. I can tell you one of the reasons I loved my ex so much was his capacity to tell stories, […]
