Love it when a compelling new character kicks open your mental door, tracks mud across your brain, and props their feet up on your cerebrum.

Writing is dreaming with your eyes open — and your heart on fire.

If you don't love what you're writing, stop right now: it's not worth your time and certainly not the reader's.

I write fiction. It may have mystery, it may have horror, it may have fantasy, it may have love, but like life, it's all the same genre.
