Raised in the desert Southwest, I grew up in Phoenix, the son of an award-winning newspaper reporter. So writing was in my blood. I began to tell stories as soon as I could talk and my grandmother would admonish me to "quit tellin' your stories" as I would make up things and claimed they'd actually happened to me. I had an idyllic childhood ... but things began to change as I reached adulthood. I began to have bouts of unattached anxiety and depression.

The Monster is Resistance

What happens when a writer doesn’t feel like writing?
In my experience, when a writer feels like that, nothing gets done. The words don’t come, the page stays blank and there’s a vague feeling of guilt that lingers in the writer’s consciousness. That guilt feeling is not dependent on the need for money, on the quest to stay alive. It’s more a sense of responsibility … to tell the story. And the su Read more of this blog post »

“NOthing makes me happy!”
― Unkillbilly, The Seven Faces of Ambiguity: Part I

“During the aerial bombing of London in World War II, damage to the Natural History Museum allowed light and moisture to enter the buildings, and mimosa seeds that had been brought over from China in 1793 and stashed in wooden collection cases suddenly awoke from their 150-year sleep and began sprouting. We, too, are revivable. No matter how long or deep the sleep, the soul is always willing to awaken.”
― Gregg Levoy, Vital Signs: The Nature and Nurture of Passion

“The more of the world we can identify with and the wider our field of affections, the bigger we are and the less we have to try to prove it.”
― Gregg Levoy, Vital Signs: The Nature and Nurture of Passion

“Abraham Maslow even believed that self-actualizing types are “those who make the growth choice instead of the fear choice a dozen times a day.”
