Thinking...

Posted on January 31, 2010 at 11:32 AM

Perhaps it's a bit late to be posting a new years resolution - but I've had some time to reflect and prioritize this month.  Surprisingly looking back at 2009, I accomplished two book rewrites, and my favorite (Ghost Writer) continues to be fun to rip apart (ending currently on the cutting room floor).

 

For 2010 - I might look at how to establish this as a more formal writing platform - a more realistic blog.  But, I don't like to talk about myself, so I'll need to look into some topics of interest and maybe do some research so that what I post here is meaningful to read.

 

As for celebrating success - most of the things that are important to me remain close and valued.   Beyond the words on the page the people around us are what make this worth while.

 

Cheers for the new year.

Hi. I just saw a bit of your story on fictionpress and then went to read it on authonomy. I wanted to ask you a question! Where do you get your inspiration?! Ghost Writer is so different from anything I've read before. Most stories feel like modified versions of other works but yours is so unique. How did you come up with the concept?!

Inspriation? For Ghost Writer it was a combination of a short story started by a friend of mine (with a glass coffin concept) and a character I had in my mind. Automatic writing has always fascinated me, and while TV here in the US has quite a few crime fighters with a touch of supernatural - none of them seem to dislike their skill. Life itself, and the diffculties/gifts we sometimes have seemed like inspiration enough. Thanks for asking.
