What Do You Mean, You’re Not Writing?
I love being creative. That’s not much of a surprise for anyone who knows me, but I do. When I really start creating, when I really start listening to those voices who are giving me the ideas to write down, I start feeling a mixture of a deep satisfaction, slightly embarrassing pride, a vague but [...]
When Your Characters Speak to You
This week, I’ve done very little writing. Well, that’s not exactly true, I’ve written sales pages, emails, comments, tweets, posts and the like, but not done a lot of creative writing. This is my first blog post on any of my many blogs in quite a while, and, besides notes, I’ve not move far forward [...]

Creativity is fragile, we think, and we mustn’t jostle it. I am as guilty of this as anyone. And I know that creativity isn’t fragile at all, it’s hale [...]
Writing Novels
Besides Weeping Willow, the book I wrote with Steve Mancini, I have written three novels (at least one of which should be published this year, a science fiction odyssey called Guardian Mosaic.) I am in the process of mapping out another one right now. While doing it, I am taking a sort of omniscient view [...]
