If you do this long enough you'll soon have a backlog of writing. The best way to get inspired is to read. Especially read about writing. Talk with anyone you know who also writes. Believe in yourself.(less)

Eve of Winter

“You must live like a monk!”  These were the words of one of my bosses.  I really couldn’t deny it.  I try to lead a quiet life of reading and writing and I do try to avoid extravagances.  My contemplative life suits me.  Every now and again, however, busy stretches come and distort my perspective.  Thinking back over this autumn on the eve of December, that season has been one of those times.  So

The Library of Shadows by Rachel   Moore
The Library of Shadows
by Rachel Moore (Goodreads Author)
Rate this book
Clear rating
I picked up The Library of Shadows because it was recommended as a dark academia title. It is also a young adult romance novel. And a ghost story. I’m always glad to read authors who aren’t afraid to have real ghosts as characters. Too often in gothi ...more

Mapping the Interior by Stephen Graham Jones
Rate this book
Clear rating
I’m a fan of Stephen Graham Jones. This is one of his older books—a novella—re-released after the success of his bigger books. It’s a quick, haunting read. It’s the story of a young man, a Native American, who sees the ghost of his father and things ...more

You're Telling My Kids They Can't Read This Book? by Andrew Laties

Books are ways to share ideas. It’s always interesting to read the book of someone you know. I met Andrew Laties about six years ago. I started reading his books shortly after that. He runs an independent bookstore in Easton, Pennsylvania, and this b ...more

Catherine House seems like a good idea. An exclusive college with no tuition that accepts non-traditional students as well as high academic achievers. Anything that appears too good to be true, however, probably is. So Ines learns as she spends three ...more

Weirdumentary by Gary D. Rhodes

This book is perfect for those who grew up in the seventies and are craving some weird nostalgia. Weirdumentary is about pseudo-documentaries on unconventional topics that really began to spring up in the seventies. They include television series, te ...more

Always Remember by Charlie Mackesy
Rate this book
Clear rating
Charlie Mackesy offers beautiful books full of kind and helpful thoughts. I read The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse and the recommendation of a friend a couple years back. This book is the “sequel” to that. Like it, it is well worth reading.

Anthologies. I’m never quite sure how to rate them. Some fiction writers appeal to you while others don’t. I’d not read anything by any of these authors before. I was only vaguely aware that the book is classified as young adult since I was caught by ...more

Wisconsin Death Trip by Michael Lesy

Wisconsin Death Trip was published in the early 1970s. It became a cult favorite among some historians. It has been quite influential over the years. I’ve known about the book for years, but as I admit (Sects and Violence in the Ancient World), I did ...more

“Technology has outstripped reality.”
Steve A. Wiggins

“AI has great potential, but let's leave the humanities to humans.”
Steve A. Wiggins

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”
H.L. Mencken, On Politics: A Carnival of Buncombe

“A writer is someone who has taught his mind to misbehave.”
Oscar Wilde

“The Ethiops say that their gods are flat-nosed and black,
While the Thracians say that theirs have blue eyes and red hair.
Yet if cattle or horses or lions had hands and could draw,
And could sculpt like men, then the horses would draw their gods
Like horses, and cattle like cattle; and each they would shape
Bodies of gods in the likeness, each kind, of their own.”
Xenophanes

“Myth embodies the nearest approach to absolute truth that can be stated in words.”
Ananda Coomaraswamy

“I was working on the proof of one of my poems all the morning, and took out a comma. In the afternoon I put it back again.”
Oscar Wilde
