Wm (William-Bill) Raff is a thinker and a tinkerer. Once a Christian minister and still a jack of all trades, ‘Bill’ spends his remaining time on this careening rock, thinking, writing, gardening, loving, traveling and rapt in the general awe of his view of the universe. He’s convinced that there is no God.

Sometimes though, I suppose you might get a bad casks. And when that happens, you may need to find another project. One that's had time to age a bit before tapping it. (less)

A dream in the night or in bright light, which presents the kernel of a setting or scenario. Sometimes I follow the dream after its delivered me to a conscious state again. Or, I just dive in writing what I see in my head and what I sense my characters would do in a scene. I generally have, at that point, a theme and possible outcomes lying about in my head. It's different with a memoir. Here, I enjoy the process of revisiting experiences, places, and people. Then finding out how my version may not be theirs. Once I've travelled back to a moment in time, it's amazing how the mind offers up adjacent information to clarify or send my off investigating. But in general, the best thing is using language to paint the pictures your mind can imagine, it's an amazing ability and brings joy because it flows naturally.(less)

I waded into this woman's expose with wonder and then found myself splashing around in its outright honesty and her hard earned progress. Painfully funny yet tempered with human frailty and hope for us all. ...more
