Hidden in shadows, Desperate to be seen, Longing to be heard, Yearning to fill the void That fuels every Fear-soaked thought. So long admiring the spotlight. So long just begging to be loved. So long wishing I was the hero. When will it be my turn? The eyes start to notice. The mouths start to speak. The […]

To those of you who have published a book before: How did you not shoot yourself in the final weeks before it released? To those of you who haven’t: Publishing a book is way more stressful than anyone gives authors credit for. I mean. For real. When I started this back in 07, I was one of […]
I’ve been swirling around in a cyclone of surrealism, overwhelmed and desperate to find a place to rest my longing hands. In five days, I’m going to be entering a town that, for the last six years, has lived in only my dreams. Immortality Awaits is, at the core, a fantasy in a world I created, […]

You’d think people would recall their high school and college years when writing a five page double spaced essay was like the end of the world. Now, I tell people I wrote a book. […]
Dang, I can’t believe a year ago today I was sitting in the same spot, wondering what I should make my first ever post about. Well, not exactly the same place. This last year has been out of control awesome, but also pretty out of control crappy. When I started last year, I was leery […]
Goodness gracious. This query letter-ing business is a pain. Bust out a 140,000 word novel and then get stuck on the query letter -_-. For those of you writers who read this (whom? I never get that right), I need help on my query letter! I keep seeing all sorts of different approaches, and I […]
I’ve come to the conclusion (specifically after writing things like What Your Server is Really Thinking, What Your Barista is Really Thinking, and The 2013 Guide to Tipping) that if you don’t work a job/career, there’s no possible way you will understand what the other person is going through. I can sit here and bitch […]
