What you really want is all too often hidden just behind what you think you want.
My stories are my children. Some are sweet infants that I coddle and care for. Others are old enough now, they need to damn well get a job!
Don't fool yourself. Talking about writing is not the same as actually doing it.
Days become weeks. Weeks become months. Month become years. And years become silence.
Growing up, I used to climb out my window onto the roof and look up at the stars. There, in the quiet, I would write stories inside my head.
