I like to listen to music as well as spitball ideas with my friends. Even if they aren't writers, a lot of my friends know a good story when they see one and are always giving me ideas on how to continue the tale.

Lucky arose from a long and monotonous drive from El Paso, Texas, to Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Too many hours on I-20 with too many different radio stations and too many donuts to keep my sugar high going led to images of far-flung mining colonies on planets around the galaxy. In the far future, freight liners and the occasional military vehicle will run the space lanes, connecting each colony to another. A unified government on Earth rules the colonies from afar, benefiting from the products but doing little to manage the colonies. By the time the journey ended in Tuscaloosa, I had created Trigg Donner and Lucky in notes on napkins.

I love to tell stories and make people happy. Writing combines these two things in the best possible way!

Never stop writing! Not every word that you write will be gold, but you can't be a writer if you don't actually write the words down. Words that are written can always be edited.

I have a few different ways to deal with writer's block. One way is to get up, walk away from my writing and work on something different for a few minutes. This can help jog my brain circuits and get them back into the groove. Another way can be to just force myself to write through the scene, even though I know it'll be bad writing. At least I will have words that I can edit later, right?

I am currently working on a spin-off novel based on one of the minor characters in Lucky. I am excited to see where the new story will take us.
