Artisic Risk Taking...

Artists of all kind are often encouraged to take artistic risks, but without audiences (readers, theater goers, etc.) will to take risks the entire equation falls apart!

My new Monster Mediation is about risk taking in the audience for art.

Falling in LOVE with Words!

Story Prompt

My new Monster Meditation is a departure from my usual Monstrous explorations. It's a story prompt and I hope you'll share a terrifying idea of how to end the mini tale.

Is Biology Destiny?

My new Monster Meditation poses the question: Must characters in fiction LOOK the part?
