I was going to say the flexibility, because you can write whenever. That is the practical. However, the most rewarding thing for me is allowing my creativity out. I like making a world and have it unfold in front of me, developing characters as I go. Each character feels like a real person that I know.

I love to write in parallel. I have multiple books going right now, most all in the Raven, Romda and Ravai world. I am making revisions on the second book that are almost done. The third book is done, and I decided to do a fairly large rewrite of it. Pray for me on that one:-) I'm finishing up the fourth book ...

Coffee? I like to write and have never had writer's block. I'm like the equivalent of someone who talks too much. I can write at the drop of a hat. It's usually what I write is the problem. Just like a talker, some of the things I write should not make the page. So, I need to edit much.
As for my inspiration, I write these books because of my son and his reading. I like going off into his creative world. My wife is also very encouraging. I probably would have quit by now without her.

I liked the idea of making a story of stories. So, I used local lore to tell stories that would help define the antagonist. Then, it was just fun to think of things that might have made the bad guy the way he is, and even bring stuff from his past to the present.

I'm thinking the pages of the Fantastic Four. I think I would grab a beer with the Thing.

How is it that I am eating healthier and gaining more weight? Shouldn't it be the other way around.

While shaving, John's ex-wife's corpse appears in his mirror. Before he can turn, she stares into his reflected eyes, "You did this to me!"

I probably shouldn't plan, because I'll end up letting the wind blow me somewhere. Nonetheless, my current plan is to read a C# book (exciting, I know.) I like to work out both sides of my brain. Then, I have a spiritual book by Mitch Pacwa in the pile. I'll probably find some weird, funny autobiography on the way, but I haven't met it yet. For fiction, I currently have nothing in the pile. I might need some ideas.
