David Hebblethwaite wrote a lovely summary and review of my story from the May edition of Apex. It’s a real buzz when someone gets what I intended to say.

I haven’t been too bloggy of late. Oddly enough, I’ve been fiendishly kicking out short stories, which is a good thing.
Big transition. Huge transition. Mind-googling transition, that has left me utterly speechless about the nonfiction world. Here is the list of posts I’ve considered writing and haven’t been able to start:
All middle-aged Canadian women look alike
Movers: Superheroes in action (if they ever deliver my stuff)
Why does quiet scare me now?
…and finally, There should be something called form rage
So, that’s kind of where I’m at. If I can find a laxative, I’ll share something soon.

Writing isn’t just a job that stops at six thirty. It’s a mad, sexy, sad, scary, ruthless, joyful, and utterly, utterly personal thing. There’s not the writer and then me; there’s just me. All of my life connects to the writing. All of it.

You get ideas from daydreaming. You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we’re doing it. You get ideas when you ask yourself simple questions. The most important of the questions is just, What if…?
