When Substance and Significance Fail You, #LetsPiffle

Recently, I came across this great word: Piffle. Reminiscent of another cute little word, trifle, it seems to fit much of how and what we communicate these days. Whether on social media or when spending time with friends face to face, do we talk? About what matters? Sure, we need space for fun, to not […]

Ghost Writer Status Report ~ Now Available for Preorder!

Other than posting serialized samples, I haven’t said much about Ghost Writer lately. I’m glad to say that with the help of my Beta readers–who have been awesome!–I have brought the story to a point where I’m almost ready to release it. Yes, almost. That’s a word with so much promise, and yet… It’s available […]

What Rivers and Stories Share in Common

I’ve never been a very organized person. Oh, I can act like one, but it’s not what comes naturally to me. It’s certainly not how I want to be and act. Is this why I can’t seem to plan my story-telling? Do my claims about organic, free-handed, self-emergent stories add up to little more than […]

Judge Not or Judge Right—Oh, What a Question

The other day I ran across a statement that church-going people can be some of the most judgmental. Like that is breaking news. But OK, for extra credit I’ll note I can say the same about those frequenting your local neighborhood bars. Whether deciding what beer we like best or which beer drinker we rather […]

A Big Thank You to my Ghost Writer Beta Readers!

What have I been working on? While I wait for Beta reader comments to come in for Ghost Writer, I’ve been laboring away on Feral. That story has proven quite the bear to wrestle to the ground. Though I’m almost done with the first–and very rough–draft, I can tell I’m going to need some heavy […]
