Update, Escape novel
I have a goal to have my book, Escape From Desolation, in print this year, maybe this summer. I decided to break it up into two books, which are both 80,000 to 85,000 words. I feel good about this decision because it makes the project more manageable. One complication arose, rethinking main stream publishing, because… Continue reading

What’s in a Word.
What is one word that describes you? If you ask my wife, she would say BRAT. I am a temperamental artist. My kids would say NAIVE. Their generation is more cynical. Many co-workers called me the GHOST, because I had a habit of appearing without warning. I was light on my feet. I would call… Continue reading

Indirect
What was the best compliment you’ve received? When my kids told me that I wasn’t as crazy as their friends’ parents. When my mother told me as she read one of my books that she forgot I was the author. When I was an attorney and one of my company executives told me that everything… Continue reading

Once Choice
You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike? I am too old to go by bike, too impatient to go by bus or train, and too nervous to fly on a plane. So, I guess I will take a car, unless they change the national speed limit to 55 mph. Then,… Continue reading

Perfectionist
How would you rate your confidence level? My confidence level is middle level at best. This is not based on what I have accomplished or my skills, but on my perfectionist attitude that is never satisfied with my output. I can always do better. I could do better with this blog post too! Augh. Continue reading

What makes you most anxious? When I am doing something new, I’m crazy with anxiety. There are too many unknowns and too much not in my control. Since Covid, I have anxiety every time I leave my house. It’s not the disease anymore, I have grown accustom to the predictability of my home environment. I… Continue reading

Right Brain
What activities do you lose yourself in? Often I lose myself in my writing. Some days I have so many ideas, I can’t write fast enough to put them to paper. Sometimes I wake in the night and stories are in my head. I can’t get back to sleep until I write them down. When… Continue reading

Multi-Legged
What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times? The question makes me think of my mother who had favorite books that she read multiple times during her life, specifically Gone With The Wind. I can’t think of many shows I have watched that much. For a post-binge-watch guy, 5 times seems… Continue reading

Not Me
Are you superstitious? Friday the 13th is just another day for me, except I don’t take any big risks that day or leave my house or use any sharp tools. I don’t speak ill of the dead because they might be watching. I never pick up a penny with tails up and I pray before… Continue reading

The Bear
Which animal would you compare yourself to and why? Bears hibernate in caves and dig deep. Since I became a stay-at-home Dad, I stay mostly at home. Sequestering during Covid was not a change for me. With too much time on my hands, I do intense self-reflection, to the point I drive my wife nuts.… Continue reading
