I’ve been on the lookout lately for interesting YA books in general. While pursuing the shelves at Borders, I stumbled upon this one, The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner.

This season of Deadwood has had the dust stirred up right from the get go. Hearst is in camp and everyone is twitchy because of it. All I can say is that it’s about time Hearst is here. All last season he was talked about and there was tension there, then in the end of [...]

Often times when I am looking for inspiration, I look to things that are lying around me: greeting cards, magazines, pictures, what’s going on outside. I just let my eyes wash over them until something pops and a story is created. For example, the idea of for Groves of Bunkville came from a free write I [...]

Otherwise known as that annoying sludge the clouds a writer’s mind. Most every writer gets it at one time or another and it always seems to arrive out of the blue. It’s that unwelcome guest, who arrives unannounced and doesn’t want to leave. You try to shake it off and focus on the page before [...]
