Aging writer, editor, and self-publisher who still manages to get up every morning and face a cruel world that won't review his books. Cute, but not terribly handsome.

Just wrote Chapter 9 of the novel, short at just 1008 words, but it's what I think of as a "surprise chapter," not in my original outline, but came to me clear as day and I loved what it would do to the overall narrative, so I went with it. Can't wait to continue its thread tomorrow. #AmWriting
