Why I Stopped Eating Fast Food
Before we get started, I just want to point out that this post is in no way a damning of fast food itself, its legions of underpaid workers, or the corporate overlords who have so effectively blanketed the world in dollar burgers and super-sized cartons of fries. Don’t expect me to wax poetic about all […]

Flash Fiction Friday: Shattered Irons Part 1
Writing flash fiction is a great way to keep the creativity muscles sharp and avoid boredom by bouncing around between words and characters like a Tigger with a pen after eating a bowl of sugar, but the constant shifting from one world or character to the next has the unfortunate side effect of never letting […]

Flash Fiction Fridays: A Gentle Breeze, I Swear
Last week, I challenged myself to write a new piece of original flash fiction every Friday based on a roll of the Story Dice. The idea behind this was to get my butt in the chair and actually get back to writing, as opposed to my original authorial plan for the past year, which has […]

Flash Fiction Fridays: By Ram Or By Sea
One of the problems that I constantly run into in my writing journey is looking down the long road of novel writing and thinking, Eh, I’ll start tomorrow. It’s going to take forever to finish, so one more day won’t hurt. One day leads to another, then another, and before long, an entire year’s gone […]

Book Review: Take Off Your Pants! by Libbie Hawker
Like many authors, I’ve worked my way through all manner of craft books in an attempt to streamline my process and make it easier to convince a reluctant muse to give up the story for whatever project I happen to be working on.

Deadlines May Be Sooner Than They Appear
I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by. – Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt I was going to write a funny post about procrastination in the style of Douglas Adams, but I’ll just do it later.

We Are Go For Launch!
