People
What experiences in life helped you grow the most? Any experiences that formed foundational events involved people. I remember long conversations with my mother about film and theater. My grandfather taught me to paint. My father taught me to fish. I remember long conversations with one uncle about religion, and my other uncle taught me… Continue reading

Relative
Do you believe in fate/destiny? Certainly we have aspects in our lives that are hard wired, like our genetics, but much of our lives are influenced by random external factors, parents, community, society and periods of history. Certainly our core nature controls how we react to the outside world. Destiny suggests that all these factors… Continue reading

Going Crazy
I’m trying to connect this blog to my main Facebook page, but it keeps connecting to my sub-page for my Etsy business. I’ll guess I will be calling support again. Maybe I figured it out.

It has a thick glass top, lights and sound effects. We did it together; it took us a whole summer and now she has an… Continue reading

Courage
Before I was a writer, I was a painter. My first serious attempt was a painting I did when I was nine. I used oil paint straight out of the tube, with no color mixing or use of additives like linseed oil. I painted directly on white canvas. The work was primitive, but with the… Continue reading

Publishing
What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months? I have a book ready to publish (my opinion), and I am evaluating going the self-publishing route, which requires almost as much work. This is the age where traditional publishers are one avenue, but not the only avenue. Of course, the stigma… Continue reading
