When you have the best wife and the greatest kids, life is pretty good! I write science-fiction, fantasy, and horror, and teach programming. Odyssey '20 grad!
@PSLiterary Not sure if any book inspired me to write my own, but I have fond memories of Anne McCaffrey's Dragon Riders of Pern. I think that sense of wonder and comfort is what I want to give to others. Be well.
@_McKatie_ Don't ask what happens, but what could happen. Then hand write a list of as many ideas on a sheet of paper as you can in under two minutes. An idea will likely surprise you and take hold. Consider combining two distinct ideas. Hope this helps!
@marie_croke I hear you, but this one was really good! I bought a copy of Erin Bowman's book Dustborn. She did a great talk on mixing genres. The Writers Hotel in Maine has two free events coming up that I might try to attend. π€ͺ
@marie_croke I have a few conflicts with local cons this year π Though, I went to a free one day writer's gathering at a nearby library a few weeks back that was delightful π
