• How do you know if a story ends well?

  How do you know if a story ends well? Cross your fingers? Hope that you’ve tied up all the necessary knots? There is no way. Not really. Okay, I’ve just finished – I mean minutes ago – the final edits on the end of my trilogy, and honestly I don’t know how I feel. I…

• A Year of Writing in Review

  What writer doesn’t look back at the end of a year and to give oneself a writing grade? Well, actually, I don’t hold a lot of stock in goals hit or missed because time lines are flexible and life happens. But it’s still fun to take stock in what transpired in the year of writing.…

• A Change of a Love Story For a Nation

  

  A LOVE STORY FOR A NATION is one of the favorite stories I’ve ever written. It, like a lot of my writings, started as a short play called “Almighty Might.” An audience member, who came to see a production of it, was greatly moved by its story – so much so that this audience member, who…

• After 2+ plus years, the story is finished.

  Just wanted to share briefly what is making me so happy today: my first trilogy – my first series of any kind – is finished. This afternoon I capped off the story with as neat and tidy ending that I could muster. The story of Frick, Bee, Ash, Rachany, Ruthy, Haddock, Hatty, Ulrich, and Monroe…

• Writing: About Lengths and Words

  

  I’m a concise writer. I know that. I’ve learned to slow down my writing over the years because at times it can be at breakneck speeds, and there are rumors about that some readers like to stew in the words of a story and not have to gulp them all down from the end of…
