What is this year’s bad habit you are trying to break?

We all have lousy habits and vices. Some are easier to give up than others. I was a smoker for over 20 years. I switched to vaping and am now do none of it. Some people think it’s all nicotine, but for me, it was… Well, I’m fidgety as fuck. I had no problem giving…

New Year, No Resolutions+

It’s New Year, but I have no resolutions. I’ve tried making resolutions in the past, and they seem to fall to the wayside. To be honest, I can be a fantastic procrastinator. Like most people, I tend to put off my more unsavory (who am I kidding) shitty tasks.  I know myself well. I know if I…

Memories of the Library

I was that kid. The one who went to the library at least once a week and borrowed the maximum allowed amount of books. Which was 12 at a time. I devoured books like most kids did Doritos (don‘t get me wrong devoured Doritos too, but reading was far more interesting than food). I would…

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…

What is Inspiration and what Inspires You?

People often ask me how I stay inspired. It made me curious because I understand the feeling of being inspired. But I’ve never really put that feeling into words. So off to the Oxford dictionary I went. Inspiration: The process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially something creative. Great job Oxford,…

My Writing Process (an unofficial account)

I remember mentioning that I should probably do a blog post on my writing process. How do I start a story? I usually hear or see something that does a spin off in my mind. Sometimes it’s a song or someone tells me a story about themselves. That is actually my favorite type of story.…
