Read all genres, read contemporary, classics, westerns, memoir, science fiction. Read. It's amazing how much we can glean from other authors' ideas, methods, persuasions. And the inspiration that often accompanies a truly great book is unmatched.

I know there's more to becoming a writer (practice, workshopping, study, critique, grasping the beauty of the English language and its laws), but the absolute truth is that in order to become a better writer, you must become a better reader.(less)

I've begun work on my next novella, a spin-off from "Of Knights and Lemon Fights," which brings back the majority of the characters from "Knights." I've been stuck for a while now, but I decided to begin mapping out the Ralston Street Neighborhood and it's adjoining territories - I'm hoping it brings me some clear direction for the story's flow.

I've also been revising a few of my short stories - stories I'd like to eventually build into a somewhat-themed collection. It's always fun to revisit work you haven't read in a couple years!

That's about it, more to come later! (less)

Of Summer Braids and Lime Grenades - Finally Done!

Hello, everyone.

After a few years of toiling, away from Goodreads, away from academia, I put the finishing touches on Of Summer Braids and Lime Grenades.

There's a feeling of relief. And even sadness. But also accomplishment and a lightness that comes with getting out from under the heavy burden of an unfinished, unpublished work. Especially when that work means so much personally.
