The Therapy of Writing

Writing – fiction or nonfiction – can be therapy. There is something deeply cathartic about getting words, thoughts, and ideas out of your head and onto the page or screen. Whatever form that takes – journaling, nonfiction, fiction, storytelling, or what-have-you – writing can be massively empowering. If you’re not a writer – forcing it in most instances won’t help. If you are, however, then like me you probably have an inherent drive and NEED

Where do The Ideas Come From?

Are the ideas my imagination – or am I channeling another time/place? There can be philosophy and psychology associated with fiction. While most of us are pretty sure the worlds we envision – far-out places of fantasy, science fiction, and the like – come from within us – they may be out there. Somewhere. Get real, you might say. King’s Landing and the world of George RR Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire is fiction.

Sit at the computer, start working on words and make it happen. Often, I

Sink or Swim?

You always get to choose to sink or swim. Probably the biggest certainty in life is the uncertainty of life. Take it from me – today you might be chilling out, planning for tomorrow, and in that light take a walk to the post office a quarter-mile away. Then, unexpectedly, a week of your life has gone by that you have no recollection of – and you find yourself in hospital severely injured after being

writing The Source Chronicles Seeker & Finder (abandon a project)

Returning to Unfinished Works

When returning to unfinished works, recognize there’s been change. I began writing what would become my fantasy series, The Source Chronicles, in 1998. A lot of work went into it, and before long I had completed the first three books. That, of course, led to the series becoming 5 books (instead of the original planned 4), but that’s neither here nor there. I started to work on the 4th book, Guardians, in 2009, eleven years
