Word count goals can be poison for your creative writing.. Top Story - September 2022.
I've written a lot of words. Eight novels worth, plus a bunch of short fiction too. Counting words is second nature to me. It's great for reflecting on what you've achieved, after you've achieved it.

The only quote about writing I'll ever need. . Top Story - August 2022.

The real 'secret' to fiction writing is more disappointing than you think.. Top Story - August 2022.

Naked in the Daylight
That morning LaGrange had seen the fairground in the distance, lying facing the sun like a begging hand. He’d stopped to look over the side of the hill down to the scrub at the bottom, wondering if he steered the car over the edge just right whether it would explode at the bottom. After a while he’d figured with enough in the tank it would. The fire would probably reach the woods.
