My Thoughts On Ghost Writing One of the first things I learned as a writer is that if you can’t do it yourself, don’t fucking do it. Yes, it’s really that simple, at least for me. Walk into any bookstore and you will find millions of books. Sadly, many of them are not written by … Continue reading My Thoughts On Ghost Writing
Honesty
Self-Control
Like most people, I have neighbors. The ones in question bought their home over a year after I did and then did an extensive remodel to the interior because the previous owner had allowed her kids to punch holes in the walls, etc., so they didn't move in until after it was finished. We were … Continue reading Self-Control
Retailers Should Really Be Ashamed Of Themselves
Retailers Should Really Be Ashamed Of Themselves October hadn’t even ended and the few stores I walked into were full of Christmas trees, decorations, candy, and “special, early shopper prices”. I hate this time of year. I don’t do Christmas. You will not find green & red anywhere in my home and you most certainly … Continue reading Retailers Should Really Be Ashamed Of Themselves

During all of the time where I walked away from arguments and fights, kept … Continue reading Anger Management
Right Now
Sometimes, the most important thing I need is silence. Having finished that hellacious read-through, I am glad to be able to be done with it and be able to put it behind me. One of the most important things I have learned about reading a truly raw manuscript is that as a writer, I truly … Continue reading Right Now
Let Your Voice Be Heard
If you're voting today, get to the polls and let your voice be heard. I generally do an absentee ballot because I am not always home or available on Election Day and I like to get it in early. Honestly, I have no genuine interest in this particular election. It's all about deciding which snake … Continue reading Let Your Voice Be Heard
Coming Out Of The Ancestral “Closet”
Coming Out of The Ancestral “Closet” I find it more than a little appalling that in 2014, I am still being asked “What are you?” Not “What religion are you?” or your average, inappropriate social questions, which, by my standards, are still rude. No, it’s always been “What ARE you?”, with such profound emphasis, as if … Continue reading Coming Out Of The Ancestral “Closet”
