Why I’m an Expert on This Subject:It took me something like ten years to finish my first novel, with the actual writing time being more like two years. When I wrote my second novel it took less than a year. I didn’t get better at it, I just got real at it. For me the value of experience is to pass it on in the hopes that other’s can benefit from your mental disorders. So, read on to (as it’s said in”The House of the Rising Sun”) not to do as I have done! Continue reading Teachable: How NOT to Write a Novel
Some Day’s Just Ain’t RightGood God! What a weird energy day – mind you, I have no truck with metaphysics – but this day seemed committed to bummer mojo!

Ephemera I’m ConsumingOne of the most important things an artist does is consume art, in whatever form. My bias leans toward books, film and comics – if only because I can take them in “on demand” in a life that’s often over-leveraged. So, I thought it would be fun from time to time to give an accounting of what I’m into at a given moment – assume everything is a rousing endorsement unless otherwise indicated!
DreamweaverBeen having some solid, crazy dreams lately, with vast story arcs and amazingly detailed imagery. Exactly the kind of stuff I can use to fill my creative pipeline when my waking mind fails me.
