This is my blog of fiction, poetry, memoir and creative inspiration. I write about how to deal with the wild, scary, bizarre, frustrating, blissful, ecstatic experiences of being a writer and how to animate those tricky muses. The Writer’s Life is my regular series that looks at the life of writers from a personal angle; our challenges, our quests, and what drives us to create.
