Motivation is something that I'm never lacking, never without or searching for. I'm always busy, spending every minute of every day working on something. Since I'm a few weeks away from reinstating my driver's license, I'm still using the train and bus for transportation. But that's good, it's all writing time. After posting The Shelby … Continue reading Reading & Writing
I've been working on my [first] novel for about six months. I haven't done a complete page count, but I can safely estimate my progress at 100-120 pages so far.

It could only be Gabriel, and he would only want one thing, the same two pieces of information that he always wanted, where she is, and what is she doing? Shelby's vitals soared as she ran into the bedroom and … Continue reading Shelby [Part 3]
Shelby [Part 2] Thirty minutes had gone by before her head stopped spinning, her breathing heavy from not being able to inhale through her nose. As she wiped her own tears, Shelby looked at the tattoos on her left hand. Years ago three of her fingers had been beautifully detailed with three rings, excluding her … Continue reading Shelby [Part 2]
I've decided to take a chapter from the novel that I'm writing and post it, a piece at a time. This chapter will introduce one of the main characters [Shelby] to the reader, in a way that's hard not to sympathize with. This chapter does not give away the plot or the name of the … Continue reading Shelby [Part 1] With Introduction
Earlier this year discovered writing, and I fell for her so quickly that we made a commitment, and moved in together. Almost one year later, I'll never let her go.
