New Media Was Made for Fiction Writers

You’re Not Going Out Like THAT, Are You?

I used to hear that a lot when I was in high school.

It’s not like I dressed provocatively. I felt like I was in sync with what was acceptable at the time with all the kids at school. Jeans and tops, including those that used to bell under the breast — sort of maternity-like. [...]

Inspiration Comes From Many Places

You never know where it will come from and when. The key is to be open, ready, and with pen in hand.
