As a writer, every part of my life is bound up in my writing to one degree or another. Some part of my mind is always working, even when I'm not focused on it. By just getting away from the screen, whether I hang out with my wife, play with our 2-year-old daughter, go outside, read a book, fire up my X-Box 360, take a nap, do lawn work, do housework, whatever, part of my mind is still working on the problem. And it's freer to do so because I'm not sitting at my desk, badgering my mind to come up with an idea, or a solution. Usually, it doesn't take long at all before the answer I've been looking for pops into my mind.(less)

But it's the one thing I've ever really wanted to do. How many people get to say that they're doing the one job they've always wanted?(less)

Who You Gonna Call?

"Crimsonfall Reapers" is sort of right up my alley and sort of not. When I saw the description of "steampunk Ghostbusters" I had to grab a copy. I'm not a big fan of steampunk, but "Ghostbusters" (1984) is my all time favorite movi
