The plot of Death Lives Across The Hall, for example, came from one particularly nasty conflict I had with a neighbor (I freely admit that I never have been and never will be a good apartment dweller.) Something I said in passing about the neighbor was taken to be threatening (it was absolutely NOT intended to be so.) I later said to my wife, "You realize if anything DOES happen to her, though, I'll be suspect number one?" And there was the germ of the idea for Death Lives Across The Hall.

Also, there's the mystery of how I constantly write up very detailed grocery lists...and then forget to bring them to the grocery store. If anyone can solve that for me, I'd really appreciate it.(less)

There's a children's mystery story I've got rolling around in my head, so I'm going to revisit some of the classics (Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, Three Investigators) for research. I'm willing to take suggestions as well. (less)

Why Do This?

Maybe you've seen the meme with the world on fire and Will Farrell asking, "Does anyone need any poems?"

If you’re a writer, it’s hard not to be discouraged looking at something like that. Then again, we live in fairly discouraging times. I don’t need to run down the list. Just check your preferred social media platform. It’s a wasteland of doom scrolling. In fact, you’ll probably see that meme.
