I’m a newspaper reporter, so I write every day. I’ve been an editor. Yes, both help in writing. But creative writing and news writing are two different animals, so you still have to be careful. I’ve had tough ass editors in my life, so that’s developed a thick skin.

Loving my fledgling Fantasy career so far. In the midst of editing my novella, and loving the process.

I've been a pantser my entire writing career, but I'm going to have to do some outline for my next book. Too complex and complicated. Wish me luck.

I've deactivated my account five times in a month and reactivated it every time. I keep coming back. This is a dysfunctional relationship.

Just finished this book by Michael Michel - Fantasy Author of Mucho Books and wow. A lot of emotion packed in a Fantasy novel. I left 5-star reviews on Goodreads and Amazon. The world building is excellent, the characters are on point and the godsthorn is good.

My poor wife has been pouting all night that she has to wait until midnight to get the Crescent City book 3. Has found no hacks to the system to get it early. Haha

It’s very easy to get in the comparison game and envy other authors. I have to constantly tell myself these are people who’ve been publishing for years.

I had a chance to weigh in on Tennessee’s lawsuit against the NCAA and got the UT President on the record.

I spoke with UT President Randy Boyd today about the NCAA investigation against the University of Tennessee and the state filing a lawsuit against the NCAA. His response? "We're on the right side of history." My complete story is up on the Kingsport Times News website.

I’m “go break me off a hickory switch for your whuppin” years old.

I’m not sure I’m meant for PG-13 books.

There’s this without saying your age thing going around tell us your age: Well I’m old enough to: Remember three channels on the TV Use an 8-track Have a rotary phone See stick shifts as much as automatics Work on my car without a computer Grow up with a velvet Elvis

A 14-year-old boy was shot and killed in the community this week. Posting my story. The family has set up a GoFundMe to help pay for the little boy's funeral if anyone would like to help. Link within the story. timesnews.net/news/crime/sla…

Sad to see Carl Weathers pass away. He was part of my childhood from Rocky to Predator to Happy Gilmore.

Here we are all just trying to sell books and get a little piece of our creativity out into the world.

The groundhog predicted an early spring. Can that start today?

Finished reading Ruin by John Gwynne last night. Title checks out. It ruined me.

Going to check out a used book store I haven’t been to today. I love those days. Like going to church.

Most of the resolutioners should be gone so time to hit the gym and start my resolutions.
