A migraine is the cockblock of writing.

Nothing says work efficiency like panic mode.

If you focus on the humanity of your stories, your characters, then the horror will be stronger, scarier. Without the humanity, the horror becomes nothing more than a tawdry parlor trick. All flash and no magic, and worst of all, no heart.

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 a story, regardless of length, begins always with a single word.

When you're writing what you love, it's the most fun you can have with your clothing still on, unless of course, you write naked.

Any conversation including the mention of Roald Dahl, Ray Bradbury, or Emily Dickinson is one worth getting into or at least eavesdropping.
