How does someone who normally isn’t into plotting plot out a book? I have an idea. After watching The Clone Wars (finally) I had an intriguing thought. What if you have created hundreds of thousands of warrior clones – and then your war ends? What becomes of them? They were purpose-built to fight a war. Once upon a time, when I first saw Star Wars as a kid, the mention by Obi-Wan of the clone
Do-it-yourself (DIY) is a great means to an end – but is not without many challenges. I am a writer. If you are looking to have words wrestled into submission in one form or another, I am your guy.

To say that we are living in “interesting” times is an understatement. What we are living in is perhaps one of the most bizarre, head-scratching, uncertain times in all modern history (post-industrial revolution-era, at least.) As any sort of artist, it’s usually easy to
Do you write from your head, your heart, your soul – or a combination of the three? I know that for some, writing is a chore and a challenge. Finding and/or creating words is not something the comes easily for everybody. But if you are a writer, do you know where the words you write come from? What’s the difference?
