I'd like to read "Team Human" by Douglas Rushkoff, "Zen for Americans" by Soyen Shaku and D.T. Suzuki, "Better Off" by Eric Brende, and also catch up on several comic book trade paperback collections I own.

I rarely get it since I have so many projects in the works, but if I get stuck I usually work out, eat some dark chocolate, watch a B-movie, or just get out of the house.

You get a great excuse to try and learn about a lot of different things. It's also a great excuse to travel, and it's something you can do anywhere.

Write whatever you want and write whenever you get the chance. You have to write a lot of bad stuff to get that out of your head so the good stuff can emerge. Don't let anyone tell you what you can and can't or should and shouldn't write. Stick to your guns and tell the story you want to tell. That being said, be open to critiques that can make your story better. Also, look up Elmore Leonard's and Kurt Vonnegut, Jr's. rules of writing.

I'm writing a non-fiction piece about our cat, a graphic novel about an underwater disaster, an erotic fiction and art project, a sci-fi / horror thriller, and a film guide to car chase movies.

I get inspiration from all sorts of places - overhead conversations, dreams, newspaper articles, or odd things I see while out and about the world.

My parents made me a movie buff, and my mom loved disaster films. I watched many of them with her and became a fan of the genre. I decided to write a guide to them after I couldn't find one.
