Visiting my parents is often so much like a ready-made writing retreat. The house is quiet, softly lit, often sleepy. The TV returns seven channels and there is not much in the way of distraction. I sit straight up, I do crosswords from the paper, I write hundreds of words at the kitchen table I carved my name into at age eight.

Lindsey has an amazingly good story in the new issue of Storychord, and check out this great blog post I randomly found: What Star Trek Can Teach Us About Writing.
I’m glad you had a good visit and a good time writing. When is your book slated to come out? I want to make sure I’m ready for it!
Ha, probably sometime in 2035! :)
Oh, come on…set yourself a better goal than that! You can do it! :)
Well, it’s more like I kind of stop writing it for long periods of time and focus on shorter fiction. I’m still not 100% convinced I have a novel in me right now. Perhaps a novella, though!
Thanks for the plug :D. Much appreciated.
No problem! Thank YOU for writing such a cool post!
