I think I’m missing “Get up and go”. I have dreamt all my life of writing a book. ALL - MY - LIFE. Now I’m scared. I don’t get scared very often. I mean, I squish the bugs around the house. Now here I am with these ideas and these plot lines and I’m - for […]
That is right, ladies and gentlemen, Mom was the first winner of the “Correct me if I’m Wrong” Challenge to find my blog typos. Thanks, Mom. Not only did you give me life, raise me and make sure you call me all the time, you pay attention to my blog. Here you are, as planned:

I’ve been reading quite a bit to get myself ready for the writing. First I read The Dissident. It’s a new novel about a student from China in LA. There was very little character development, but over all the story was decent. Then I read The Glass Castle. I honestly did not realize until I […]
I went through the big tub of “Writing Things” this weekend. I have maybe 100 sheets of paper, some full, some a sentence or two I thought was catchy. I had boxed it all up for a later time, and now is that time. I’ve got ideas for this book, and that’s exciting. For the […]

I doubt people. Why would I EVEN WONDER that BFF wasn’t on […]
