Going so far as to write little scenes for them, so I can understand their motives and define their characteristics better.As far as I'm concerned, no writing is bad writing. So, even if I sp...

The prompt/question this week is do I keep a journal or diary.
Duh!!! Of course I do. I’ve been a life-long diarist since I was given my first “big girl” diary at the age of 8.
It was a 3×5 sized, hardbound book, complete with it’s own lock and key, hundreds of sheet...

While driving home through the warm London night last Monday evening, I decided to tell my girlfriend about Stanley Cavell’s interpretation of Macbeth. The story does not reflect any better on me, if you know the essay in question. It centers on a description of the Macbeths as a portrait of...

True story, but I have some of the most loyal readers in the book world. No, really, I do. And it’s not because they all leave me five-star reviews (they don’t, I have ARC members who’ve left me two-star reviews) and it’s not because they message me constantly to tell me how wonderful my books ar...
