David Donaghe lives in the high desert of Southern California with his wife and family. In his spare time, David writes short stories and novels. When not reading or writing, David enjoys riding his motorcycle. He rides his brothers and sisters in the American Cruisers motorcycle club. This is where he gets some of his ideas for his writing. With the club, David sometimes volunteers at the local veteran’s home. He helps the police and fire department deliver toys to children in town at Christmas. When not reading, writing, or riding his motorcycle, David enjoys practicing martial arts. Above all David loves hearing from his readers.

Editing makes bad writing better and good writing great. To me, writer's block is just another term for being lazy. If you are stuck in the middle of a story, keep plugging along. You can fix it during the editing process, or you can always kill off some of your characters or bring in some new ones. If you want to start a new project and you don't know what to write about, write about that. You could write a story about a frustrated writer that goes on a killing rampage. Putting words on the page will stimulate your imagination and the words will come.(less)

David Donaghe Thanks for checking out the blog Steve.


Steve Thanks for the blog link, David -x- I just read 'Blowing In The Wind' with interest, and I believe the answers are, just that. Which doesn't always help *smiling*, but I agree that Dylan probably saw himself more as a poet and a creative.

Hope you're well, and hope to get more reading time and be around more soon -x-

Jude Arnold Hi David! Thanks for suggesting I check out your blog - http://dhdonaghe.blogspot.com/ I agree with you re: "Gun Trouble", not for the reason you give - that it's better to have a gun when you need one than the other way around - altho that really makes sense. But I personally don't want to live in a world where only corrupt cops and real bad guys are the only ones who are legally armed and able to defend themselves!
