Inspiration is a Lighthouse
"Where does your inspiration come from?"
That's a question writers are constantly asked, and it's one we really can't answer. At least, that's how I feel. The word "'inspiration" (or "awen", its Celtic equivalent) means to breathe into something, but where does that breath come from? Unless he's intentionally copying another creator's work, no writer can simply point to where inspiration comes from Read more of this blog post »

Hey Cameron,
Traditional Gothic often conjures European castles and medieval aesthetics, but Southern Gothic brings its own flavor: the same sense of the uncanny and decaying, filtered through southern landscapes, heat, and history. While The Curses We See Full Answer |

- There is nothing else to say. A few minutes of words can’t change years of absurdity.”

“The short story is where the writer bares all. There's no room for padding or glossing over. This is where imperfections are exposed and strengths are on display.”

“Even if I had convict ancestry, I wouldn’t be ashamed of it. As far as I’m concerned, the real criminals back in those days weren’t twelve-year-old boys nicking a loaf of bread or a pair of socks to ward off hunger and blisters. No, it was those who exploited them; keeping the battler in the gutter while they sat around in their manors, sipping tea and admiring portraits of their toffee-nosed great grandfathers.”

“Whenever there’s a riot, that’s how it starts. It grips us to see the foremost god of the modern world crushed by prehistoric might. The burning car is the single most poignant representation of the post-industrial psyche.”

“By running a couple of red lights and overtaking cars in the oncoming traffic lane, Declan was able to make it to the Gooding Drive roundabout in record time. He knew for a fact there was no surer way of getting a girl in the mood for hanky-panky than proving one’s manliness through motoring prowess.”
