Good friend Mark Stevens (Antler Dust, Buried by the Roan) had a great post on Colorado Authors League about the benefits of writing by hand [translation: with paper or a similar material and a pen, #2 Ticonderoga pencil, Sharpie, etc. -- GEEK ALERT: NO, repeat NO, electronics are involved.] I’ve tried it. I really enjoyed [...]

Since the Memorial Day weekend I’ve had some songs playing in my head. Not too unusual but these songs are all from the same album, one that hasn’t been heard by too many people. I have two copies of the CD, both of which are numbered (3 & 4) and signed by the producer. I [...]

There are dozens of marvelous, “small” movies about writers, their lives, loves, struggles, and successes and The Whole Wide World, a 1996 film from Dan Ireland, is a great place to start a new series of articles.
