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)

Tear-jerker

"Loved Your Soul Always" is too short. There's not much in the way of character development. There are no subplots, either. Still, what is there is presented well and is very highly emotional. I'm personally drawn to stories with emotiona

Way Too Brief

"Followed By Her" is way too short of a story. It's a very few pages of tell-don't-show (the exact opposite of the way any story ought to be written). Then it's over. Honestly, it really didn't even grab my attention until the final cou

So Good

"Falseborn" is a great novel and a very good start to the "Falseborn Chronicles".

However, I personally felt that the story was too much of Jaxon Reed - the protagonist - simply pushing himself forward to the next level-up over and over again

"Damsel" is one of those books that took me a little while to really get into. I haven't yet seen the film adaptation. When I first began reading the book, I have to admit that I wasn't that into it. Some parts of it actually struck me
