In every sense of the word, it's a living thing. Fire is such a fragile creature. In its youth, a single misplaced breath can snuff it out. But that young spark has more growth potential than a mustard seed. Just ask Chicago. Half of the city burned to the ground because of a single loose flame.
It'll live forever if you feed it. If you give it enough air. That's why I love it so. One book of matches can bring down an entire neighborhood.
My friends say I'm delusional, but I prefer the term 'pyromaniac'.
Jason Foux is a self-styled adventurer and writer. He is making his life by pursuing renegade adventures and treating his writing with the same enthusiasm and curiosity of 'what if'.
Pocket Novels, the reinvention of the Dime Novels of old, is one way Jason is shaking up the writing world and getting stories into the hands of his readers: http://pocketnovelpublishing.com/
Jason Foux participates each year in NaNoWriMo and has started his own writing challenge, WriDaNoJu (Write a Damn Novel in June) http://wridanoju.forumotion.com/
