A writer always writes.

It’s hard to land a devastating jab/cross/hook/uppercut combo to your reader’s imagination when you’re telegraphing your punches.

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.

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.

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

It's my belief that people enter your life at exactly the right time.

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.
