I put myself in the world I'm writing. I act out the scenes/dialogue like a film. Like 'Cold Run' I put myself in the dog sledding world. I embraced winter and all its beauties, including the cold.

Keep writing, it develops your craft. It's the only way to get better. Oh, and learn to have thick skin as you will be critiqued every step of the way.

The best thing about being a writer is you have more freedom than you ever thought possible. Any world, time, situation, you want to write about you can how you choose. Sometimes writing is the best therapy.

Four years ago, when my dog was four years old, we went on a camping trip. He did a lot of traveling and running around in the woods. When we returned home he became super aggressive towards other dogs and people; something he didn't show in the four years he was alive. He used to be the nicest, most caring dog ever. But after we came back from that trip, what happened to him?

Thanks! I took many stories from where I grew up and during my time playing the game and integrated them into the story. Most of what you read in the story has some truth behind it.

Hmmm. Somewhere in the 1950s or 1960s.

I'm going to start with 'Whiskey When We're Dry' by John Larison then hit up the ones I posted on Goodreads!

If we're talking about what I'm writing at the moment, than I got the idea from watching old spaghetti westerns.
