Hi, #WritingCommunity .
Developmental edits are S L O W L Y happening for my memoir about the 60s but that’s okay. I think this is the publication I’m most excited for; it’s all about my travels with my best friend Rick (RIP) in the 60s.
What are you currently working on?
Hi, #WritingCommunity .
It’s that time again. It’s #WIP check-in time.

The number one rule of the road is that the longer you wait for a ride, the longer the distance it will take you. We’re on the last pass in the Sierra Nevadas.

When it comes to being an author, it can be a lot of money spent upfront but I highly suggest you make sure to hire an impeccable editor. It matters to the quality of the book.
Agree or disagree? Are editors important to your writing process?

From hitchhiking 🚶♂️ in the 60s to using my childhood dog 🐶 as inspiration to seeing many men drink 🥃 and abuse their relationships to the pandemic 😷 of 2020, the inspiration in these stories is vast.

Hi, #WritingCommunity .
Here I am looking mean as I do leg stretches. Billy in the background.
Movement is important for ideas and health but I don’t always look good doing it. 😂🤣
What’s your favorite way to get moving?
#WritingCommunity Reminder:
Don’t be scared to fail. Write even when it’s bad. You can fix it later OR gain experience. It’s a win win either way.

Hi, #WritingCommunity .
Today feels like a good day to write.
If you had a choice of only one, would you rather read or write all day today?

“When Farris Kaiser was twelve years old, Tim Newton, his best friend, called him a “fairy.” He smashed Tim in the mouth. Tim touched his mouth and gazed at the blood in his hand.”

Hi, #WritingCommunity .
One of the most interesting things about being a writer is actually exploring the mind…like why does one thought connect to another seemingly random one that are 20 years apart?
Have you ever felt like writing is a way to process life?

Hi, #WritingCommunity .
I love this quote by Ernest Hemingway: 'As a writer, you should not judge, you should understand.'
Seeking to understand others and the world around us is part of why we write, don't you think?

Hi, #WritingCommunity .
Have you ever written a memoir?
Either way, if you wrote a memoir, what time period in your life would you focus on?
I've written a memoir and it focuses on the 60s and my friendship and travels with my best friend Rick.
