Blog
Welcome.
This is my blog. When I want to take a break from writing my fantasy series, StarDust, I come here and throw some random thoughts on the page just to see what sticks. Writers need to do that now and then, clear out the cogs, because no matter how much you love the current work-in-progress, there are always other pesky ideas clamoring to get out. But you won’t see my series, StarDust, among the blog stories because until it gets published, it’s under wraps. If you want to know more about the Stardust saga or what DrakaenWood is, then you have to click on the STARDUST link. See it? Right there on the side of the page, below HOME.
This blog is also a place for us, you and I, to chat. Your thoughts are always welcome, maybe you have some cogs you want to clear out, too. In my opinion, listening is just as important as telling, and any writer worth their salt knows that.
Thanks for stopping by, and come back often. There's always some new thing mugging for attention, and your visits quiet the squawkers so I can get some real work done. ;)

Come on over and share your stories on what…
Just Drive (or How To Live With Your Muse)
A writer’s muse can be many things, but he, she, or it is not to be taken for granted. Today I’m bringing home a guest post about mine that I wrote two years ago for Hugs & Chocolate. While the team at Hugs & Chocolate is no longer posting new content, their site still maintains an abundance of…
The Writing Process Blog Tour
Things have been quiet in this blog for too long. The unlit space stretches beyond my imagination, and a chill wind rattles the empty pages like dead leaves. I poke around a bit, a blind search for my muse. “Hey! Wakey-wakey! We’ve got a blog to write,” I called into the void. My voice echoes, but I know he’s there.…
Cliché? Touché.
Thursday’s Children is a weekly blog hop, founded by Rhiann Wynn-Nolet & Kristen Perez, where writers share their inspirations. Inspired by ~ Idioms. In the movie War Games, the hacker David Lightman (Matthew Broderick) is in the hot seat after an autonomous supercomputer misinterprets his request to play an online game–and begins a real global…
ON TARGET
Inspired by Setting Sights . . . A weekly blog hop where writers share their inspirations. Please join us! One of the first things I remember is my mom telling me to look where I’m going. I won’t say I learned that lesson quickly, and the varying results of my resistance have caused no small…
