The Wise Novelist

My Blog

Blogging is like going to the writer’s gym.  I get to tell silly stories about whatever comes into my head at 2 am, with the hope that by repeatedly stringing a bunch of sentences together in a half coherent way, it will provide me with the mental muscle memory needed to knock off another novel.  So far, so good.  Stay tuned and keep on coming back for a laugh or two.  You might actually get to know me (now there’s a scary thought).  I’m an open book.
