My new inspiration piece!
I’ve always wanted an old fashioned antique typewriter next to me when I write. They are so awesome. This one is fully operational and even comes in its original case. Very cool.
Chapter Two Complete!
I’m working towards my goal of finishing my second novel this year. Not sure how long this one is going to be, but it seems like it will be longer than the last one. I’ve only outlined about 3/4 of it so far, but I couldn’t wait to start fleshing out the chapters. I’m motivated!

There’s a meditative cadence to the union of measured breaths and metered strides. Writers and runners both operate on linear planes, and the running writer soon realizes the relationship between art and sport is…
Now We Are Free / Gladiator
This is the theme song from Gladiator, a top 5 favorite movie of mine. And every time it comes on my Pandora writing station, I get that feeling that leads to better writing. Sometimes it only lasts a few minutes, but I suppose the best writers can summon this feeling as needed. I, on the…
