Sup folks? I hope everyone is well as we near the holiday season and the end of 2019. It's been a fun year. I was a guest on a podcast, got my social media presence up and running, and built this website.

Thanksgiving Recap, Music for Writing, And Probably Some Other Stuff…
Why, hello there! I hope everyone had a good day yesterday, is continuing to have one today, and so on and so forth. Holiday Recap I spent most of Thanksgiving Day with family.

Behind “The Process”: Plotting vs Writing

You Should Never Ask a Writer…
They say you should never ask a writer, "Where do you get your ideas?" Neil Gaiman has the most hilarious response to this question. The thing is, ideas are funny little bastards. They sneak in at strange times. Sometimes you'll be reading the news and think, They'll never get to the bottom of this, but … Continue reading You Should Never Ask a Writer…
