I don’t know what it is, but I find I keep coming back to this trail.

Some of us have busy mornings. Some of us just focus on being statuesque in the sun.
Once again, Misty is using up the house’s entire quota of statuesque and leaving me with the busy.

When it comes to wrestling with the blank page, do you find a light mode blank page or a dark mode blank page more intimidating?

One thing no one warned me about having a kid is how much time I’d spend making up additional lyrics to nursery rhymes I half remember.

It’s a beautiful day here in Georgia. But with this humidity, I need to move to one of those places where they say “yeah, but it’s a dry heat.”
Not about this “wet heat” nonsense.

When last years plants seed new ones without being planted, it might not be truly cool, but I’d say it’s at least rad-ish.

A peaceful, elegant cat. One who definitely never yells in my face in the middle of the night and/or when I’ve just got the baby to take a nap.

McCaffrey’s Dragonflight was the book that got me into both reading and writing. A young teenager, it inspired me to start creating my own worlds. It’s warm and comforting and opened my mind. What was your first influential book?

- A writing hack:
I find it hard to delete a chunk of writing, even when the story has matured beyond needing it. My solution has been to copy it into a file named “Deleted Scenes” or “Bonus Content.” It’s not just gone, and it’s not left in an old draft, it’s just a scene that wasn’t right for the final cut. It doesn’t matter that it won’t see the light of day, it just feels less permanent.

This is cyberpunk at its best. Marge Piercy’s He, She, and It does everything that sci-fi should: warns about what is to come, and ties it to what has been.

If you want a great introduction to Neil Gaiman, American Gods is the place to do it. And if you’re going to read it (you should), I recommend this copy - the “Author’s Preferred Text.” The original publication had a lot cut for length or because the business folks didn’t think it would make sense. This copy has it all added back in and makes for a much richer read!

Pratchett and Gaiman’s Good Omens collaboration gives a great view into the writing process. Gaiman has said “There were bits we were both convinced we had written, and bits we were both convinced that we hadn't.”

This rings true when I read my own work: sometimes I distinctly remember writing parts, other times I come across something and can’t help but wonder who wrote it. Do you find a mystery voice in your own work? Where does it come from?

I think I’m always going to be upset that we call it mead and not bumblebeer.
