Camazotz as long as Mrs. Which was there to bring me back. I'd want to see what it looks like to sacrifice free will in the hopes I'd appreciate it.

Edit what I wrote the day before to see what's blocking me. Sometimes take a break to focus on marketing and other business stuff so I can return with fresh eyes. Pour art is another great way to let mind fall into a flow state.

Listen to the advice... then discard it. Read everything but write like yourself. Insert about seventeen more platitudes. Writing is crazy personal drives some of us nuts and others just seem to get it. Your journey is your own. Stop comparing, get some good boots, and start hiking. Sixteen platitudes to go...

I'm in the process of publishing book 2, Blood Renegade. Also drafting Book 3 (Blood Vengeance) and have at least 3 other novels in mind brewing in the back. Just letting them steep before I add honey.... excuse me. I'm thirsty now.

Usually someone I know in real life has a unique personality or a strong aversion and I ponder what it would be like if they were forced to face that version in a fantasy setting. For example, one deer friend cannot stand children. I am now writing a zombie western about a womam forced to care for a kid who absolutely loaths the idea.

Originally I was inspired when learning about the Great Famine in English class for our review of A Modest Proposal and satire. Later, I was futher inspired by Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Jessica Jones. That crazy chaos mixed into the delicious stew that is now Blood Herring... excuse me. I'm hungry now.

How in world have I convinced the world I'm an adult?
