edit data

David DeGeorge is the author of various published short stories, several of which were finalists in writing contests. His first novel, Friendship, is a coming of age story.
He's since had Internment, a psychological suspense novel, Chalktrauma, a horror novel, The Chair, a chiller, and Accounting for Clues, a mystery, published. If he's not writing or drawing, he's reading (with, as John D. MacDonald said, either grinding envy or weary contempt) or he's talking with/visiting his nieces. Read some of his short stories, excerpts of the novels, and background information on the stories and novels at his website, www.daviddegeorge.com

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

If you are successful, they'll be book signings, appearances, writer's conferences etc., so you'll be busy then. I read where one author does a one month book tour! That might wear me out, 4 weeks of constant travel. Mostly, though, as writer, you start your day when you want, stop when you want, or go as long as you want. And if you're lucky enough to do it for a living, your daily 'commute' consists of walking into the next room..or simply outdoors when it's nice, as I like to do. And it doesn't matter what you wear!(less)

“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. — 'Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance: An Excerpt from Collected Essays, First Series
