Hey folks, sorry for the radio silence. I’ve hit roadblocks across multiple fronts and while doing edits to “Angel in the River”, realized that there was a lot of useless crap in it, so I’ll be doing a massive rewrite. No ETA as of yet.

Started writing again on Monday after a break for unrelated mental health reasons. Unfortunately, I missed my self-imposed deadline, but I'm working on improving my time management and productivity skills. Good to be writing again.

Life has a way of taking the most generous deadlines and rendering them to nothing. Hoping to have ‘Angel in the River’ ready by the end of the year now.

The thing about the creative process is sometimes you’re overflowing with ideas and can’t keep up. Other times your brain just makes random, nonsensical noises with no real meaning.

Please note: If you’re incapable of having a CIVIL discussion with me, I will not hesitate to block you. Not a matter of not wanting to argue, or not wanting to admit I’m wrong, it’s I’m tired of dealing with rude, disrespectful people. You want to change my opinion? Talk to me, don’t attack me.

On this day in 2020, early in the pandemic, I went down a rabbit hole that started with these drawings of Garfeye the Sailor Cat.

As a male, I find it increasingly difficult to write female characters, specifically main protagonists, in a balanced manner. They’re are either super independent and perfect or completely helpless. However, a secondary female character in one of my projects, who is getting an “origins story”,

Any tips for quieting the madness inside my head? The urge to write my characters into horrible situations for no particular reason is starting to become problematic.

My heart goes out to former president Biden with his diagnosis. While not impossible to beat at this advanced stage, I’m really not holding out hope. Cancer is a bitch and can travel fucking fast. I just know certain people are cheering over his diagnosis. Makes me fuck sick. Good luck Mr. President

My favorite character in my current project is a secondary character who is short, angry, and quiet. I just finished writing the ONLY emotional dialogue she will have in the whole book, and it captures her essence completely. I WILL be writing a short story about her in the future.

PETITION: Don't Ban Books in the United States
Proposed censorship measures in several states could deny your right to read some books in our Nation's libraries and lead to librarians facing criminal charges for the books on the shelves.

Just for fun, if I’m ever invited to do a signing or be part of a festival, I’m coming wearing a straight jacket. If my readers don’t realize I’m insane from my book(s) then the jacket will do the trick.

Not religious, not spiritual, Im an atheist. I take being called woke as a compliment. No one deserves to suffer even from their own stupidity. Do good for it is whats right, not because it’s commanded. Help others even if you get nothing in return. There’s too much hate not nearly enough compassion
