I recently read somewhere to only write what you know and if you don't know about it, read about it. I once attended the Louisiana Book Festival in Baton Rouge and had the chance to ask Pulitzer Prize-winner Rick Bragg how one would know if a story is worth writing, and of course, eventually reading. He told me with all seriousness that if it means anything to me at all, then yes, it is most certainly worth it. I am determined to milk his reply for all it's worth. This is my journey. The ups. The downs. And all of the words in between.

The Podcast: An Interesting Outlet for a Writer


It's an odd experience listening to another person read something you've written aloud, especially on something such as a Podcast. Yesterday, the Library of the Living Dead Press, released Podcast Episode #99 with my short horror story titled Panic being the first piece read following the theme song.

It is always great to find out where a certain piece has "landed" after putting so much time and effort into it. The moderator did a fantastic job with my story, with sound effects helping to make the tale even more realistic.

To listen to Panic, click the link below. The story begins at 10:09.

    Dr. Pus (aka Mike West) did a great job on your story! I told you he would love it and do it up right!
