I got hit by a fucking truck named and had to bleed it out.
You can guess that truck's name.

Fifty Shades of Greg is life. As a result it's all over the place in terms of thoughts and feelings.
I'm amazed at just how positively it has been received. But even more amazing to me is how universaly well it's been received.
For my next book I think I'm going to dive much deeper into one of the stories in Fifty. You can probably guess which.
The intensity of that story is, for me, something that will be difficult to handle. It is extraordinarily painful to revisit, and puts me in a state where it's difficult to think straight, let alone write. But considering the reception of the last book, it's something I'd like to put out there.
For now I need to get myself in a place where I can jump into that abyss, and let it all out... onto those pages.

I guess I'm lucky because I write about life. Life doesn't stop.
There is endless content, and I guess I've been lucky to have had an interesting life, full of difficulties, hardships, successes, failures, moments of tremendous joy, and devastation.
I'm also a thinker, and I like to look at things objectively. This means I'm often faced with the realization of how stupid and pointless so many things are. So many things people do. So many things people ruin, for themselves and for others.
My biggest challenge is making a subject interesting. Sometimes it speaks for itself, sometimes you need an angle. If I'm stuck, I just give it time. Maybe an idea will come to me, maybe I'll get hurt or be in a great place and be able to look at it from a new place and find an angle that fits from there.

I have a thousand thoughts and emotions every day. Some things you want to tell, some things you want to share, some things you want to question, and some things you have no choice but to let out.

Stop bullshitting. Don't try to be something you're not. Think. Don't be afraid, don't hold back, let it out.
