Wesley D. Gray is a writer of things mostly strange. He is an Active member of the Horror Writers Association, member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Poetry Association, an author of fiction, and a poet. His first two books include Come Fly with Death: Poems Inspired by the Artwork of Zdzislaw Beksinski, and the horror novel, Feeding Lazarus (originally published as Rafe Grayson).

When he isn’t writing, Wesley enjoys geek status while claiming to be: a tabletop gamer, a reader, a dreamer, a veteran, a Trekkie, a Whovian, an amateur photographer, a radiographer, nature-lover, coffeeholic, boxed wine enthusiast, and an all-around nice guy, among other things. He resides in Florida with his wife and two children.

Sometimes if I'm stuck in a particular scene or chapter, I'll skip it and write further ahead. If I'm just having trouble writing new words in general, I'll switch gears into editing mode and work on a project that's in revision, let things marinate with the other one for a while. For this reason, I like to have several projects going at once. Daydreaming also helps. If I think about my story outside of my writing time, it makes it easier to approach the next session. Daydreaming helps me get excited about the work and anxious to get back to it because I've got all these things planned that I need to get out on the page.(less)

Seeing your worlds, your characters, your stories come to life through the written word. I love being a writer because I get to build things with words. But overall, I'd say the best thing is connecting with other people through the power of imagination, and then hearing that those stories affected them in some positive way, entertained them, and brought them enjoyment.(less)
