Music and the patterns on the piano were my first love, and writing came shortly after reading books like the Phantom Tollbooth. I write the images I see in my head.

I'm going to start using a notebook and just long hand writing in those moments when I don't feel "inspired". That way, at least I'm doing _something_. I find it's when you let yourself languish one day, then all of a sudden it's a week later and you admonish yourself for falling off the boat — that's a real confidence killer. But if you allow yourself even 15 minutes (use a timer even!) you'll find that not only is it easy to write for that time, you might find you go even further than you thought, and then you can look back on those days saying "at least I did something"(less)

Raquel & Finn (December 2025 Update)

I had big plans to finish my new book Raquel & Finn in 2025. It seemed possible at the beginning of the year. But somehow the year has passed, and although I’ve made solid progress — my editor and I have gotten through 9 of 16 chapters — it’s far from done.

Rest assured, it will get done. I’m too far into it now to leave it behind. It’s a much bigger endeavor than any of my other books. Fewer i

The Power of Saying No by Vanessa  Patrick
“A powerful agent is the right word. Whenever we come upon one of those intensely right words…the resulting effect is physical as well as spiritual, and electrically prompt.”

Carl Sagan
“What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic."

[Cosmos, Part 11: The Persistence of Memory (1980)]”
