Where do you get your ideas?Simple, I have a machine in my house built from spare parts found on the side of the road and at yard sales that I crank up whenever I am in need of an idea. The crank is the most important part. The ones from Victrola's are the best.

The Writer and the Stress Monster
The start of school this year as been harder than usual. I haven't gotten much writing done in the last five weeks. I haven't gotten much done at all. No going to the gym, keeping up with family or working around the house. I go in early and I leave late and nothing seems to … Continue reading The Writer and the Stress Monster
Work-Life Balance vs. Dreams

The Lost Writer
For the last four weeks, I have been the type of sick that people dread. The kind that makes your whole life slow to a crawl. There is nothing you can do but rest, drink lots and lots of fluids and hope that people don't get tired of you asking for help.
Writer and the Cold
Writing was slow this weekend. Not because Captain A returned, but thanks to a lovely winter cold. I spent most of Saturday in a hazy followed by a nap. Then another nap. I did make it in to the land of the cognizant for a couple of hours to watch Deadpool with a friend. (Great … Continue reading Writer and the Cold
A Note Before The New Year

It's the Saturday before Christmas and the only decoration up at my house is a Darth Vader door knocker that I found at the dollar store. just haven't felt like making the drive to storage to get everything. And I am … Continue reading A Note Before The New Year

Last month my royalties for my book, Blood Child, were less than $5.00. That's right. I made less than a fiver for a book that took me nearly two years to produce, not including the time it took to write. And you know what I am overjoyed... seriously. I am happy about it. My writing … Continue reading Why Support Patreon?
