Why this site?

I’m a writer. Not full-time, and it’s not what it says on my passport – I have to make a living, after all – but in spirit and every spare moment, that’s what I am. You see, I always wanted to write and don’t think I could stop even if I wanted to.

The act of writing consumes me. Even when I’m not sitting there tapping away, it’s in my head, on the train to work, in bed with the light out, preparing dinner, and so on. And when I’m ‘writing’, I’ll often sit there with an intense look on my face, figuring something out or just pondering the work in general. Then I look up and hours have passed. Such is life.

This is why I’ve created this site. Writing is a solitary activity. It’s something I wish I could talk about more because – to me – it’s a fascinating process. There’s mystery and wonder and magic in it, as well as a lot of hard work and discipline. A lot of it I don’t understand myself. I’d love to share the experience of that with people who are interested in such things and plan to post updates to this site regularly. As part of that, I’m interested in what you think. I welcome your questions and divergent perspectives.

And – just quietly – if you’d like to support me in this lonely and puzzling quest, you’ll find a link to my Patreon account at the right of the page.

In the meantime, read, enjoy, and feel free to ask me your questions.
