[dis]connection launches today! YAY!

One week away from [dis]connection’s launch! Here we go! Let’s get behind the scenes a bit before we launch and see where this story came from.

Every year I think about a word that sums up the year for me, in 2021, the word is ENOUGH. I’ll talk about it in this post and we’ll explore what happens when someone takes a very unexpected career change.

This week is the thrilling conclusion to Last Yesterday and a short poem about werewolves and moon pies.

This week we pick up with LAST YESTERDAY and discover what was on the card and what the man must do to save his daughter from The Observer. Enjoy!

This week I explore Artificial Intelligence helping me write stories and market stories. We explore two AI tools: ScoreIt! and Authors.ai. We also explore the life of a man who’s reality is being constantly shuffled by The Observer. What will become of our hero in this mixed up reality?

Interested in an artificial intelligence (AI) writing workshop? Let me know. Otherwise, enjoy this week’s short : Terra Fading.

Happy Halloween! This week I share an audio story I built with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and ask if you’d be interested in learning how to build your own AI story. Also, we meet the Pumpkin Spider who just found a beautiful, tasty, new home. Don’t forget to get your copy of BLOTS on Amazon.com today!

This week we examine Dead Voices by Katherine Arden as a mentor text. We also find out what happens in the cemetery when The Midnight Pets gather each night.

This week, I dig into some projects that I’ve been working on outside of writing. I hope you enjoy! I also play with the idea of what if our dreams could be drawn on the window.

This week we review The Bone Houses by Emily Lloyd-Jones and see what I learned from the book. We also retell a creation my where when the wrong person speaks first, everything gets all messed up.

This week we see what happens when a human races a robot and explore how two awesome books can inspire your writing/storytelling.

This week I dig into my creative process a bit. Kind of rambling thoughts going on here so enter at your own risk (of time that you might not get any value from). I explore what kind of “creative” I am and how I leverage creative distractions to find even more creativity.

Welcome 2020! Remember, starting a new year is like any journey, you probably have some baggage to take with you. Let’s talk about baggage, planning and have a short story to start the year off right.

My verb to sum up 2019 is AWAKEN. Here I examine why that is, give an update on disConnection and talk about the outcome from my Give Away last week. Enjoy!

Spreading some holiday cheer with a give away this week! Also, get a progress report on my latest novel project and a short holiday poem.

This poetry Friday, I explore my creative space, collaborative storytelling and getting sick at Thanksgiving. Enjoy!

What am I working on now? How do I use visual aids to create unique stories? Answers to this and more found here!

I reflect on getting my first rejection for fiction work. While I’m expecting many more, I reflect a bit on how to use my reaction to the rejection for turning a bummer into a bumper knocking me towards something better.

As I am starting my querying and submission cycles, I’m trying to get use to a different expectation. Check out how I’m thinking about submissions and see how I’m approaching it. Spoiler Alert: think Train Schedule.
