Some Words From Kurt

Vonnegut is one of my heroes.  Whenever I need to be inspired or reminded what it is a writer does, I turn to him (along with Serling, Steinbeck, and Bradbury.  There are others, but let's not wander).

I think this's good advice to those of us who write.


Random personal side notes:

When I'm cooking up a character, the first thing I ask myself is "what do they love?" ... everything they do will revolve around that.  It's true for all of us.

Also:  if anyone else could have written it, tear it up.  Sure, there're a finite number of plots and all that, but do something different with it.  Put a spin on it.  Stand out.  Make it memorable.

And last:  there's no such thing as too much bacon.

2012

Man.  I *so* neglect this site.  Let's see if I can get better at keeping up, eh?

Well, it's been decided:  I'm going indie.  "Harvest" will be released later this year along with a free offering of five short works.  One of them will be a Leland Northcroft story that takes place right before the start of Harvest.  Details soon.

Dates for releases will be coming soon.  It's all pretty exciting.  :D
