What are Your Pet Peeves about Writing?

I don’t have that many, honestly. Though I admit I hold myself to a higher standard than others when it comes to my writing.  Sometimes I write in a mix of America English and British English. I admit it’s due to how many people I converse with across the pond and the fact that I’ve…

What is the Craziest Thing You’ve Done for Research?

What is the craziest thing you’ve ever done in the name of research… Usually most of my research is done on Google. However, if you asked Mr. V… I’ve been known to ask him for help at times. Especially when writing any action scene, be it a fight, dance, or even… sex. I want to…

This is my first blog post in years.

Life is funny. I find it strange after a long break (long meaning years). I would find myself blogging again. I’ve never stopped writing since I started in mid 2014. I never thought I’d write stories. I was a musician not a person adept at using words convey feeling. To say read a lot would…
