At 36,000 feet…

That number is right where I’m at, sitting on a Delta flight that also offers access to wireless. Love it. Spent the last couple days hopping around from one city to another, and I won’t be slowing down any time soon. I love that, too. It’s pushing me to be a better writer, and by that, I mean — I don’t have time to over think what I’m putting down on the page. I’m grabbing what moments I can and then just going full-out stream-of-consciousness. Pushing forward instead of constantly retrenching to edit (over and over, without making progress). Any long-term reader of this blog will know that’s a problem of mine.
There’s a new interview with me at the Singaporean blog, Incoherent Boy. I talk comics.
Also, this great interview with Benjamin Marra: “I’m trying to be someone who doesn’t understand what they’re doing.”
Here’s an article about an abandoned Walmart that was converted into a library (ADORE IT) and then, this beautiful love story told in twenty-two photos.
Landing in thirty minutes!
A pyrokinetic and former car thief, Eddie cannot refuse an assignment to cross the continent in order to rescue an extraordinary woman in peril…even though he fears losing control of the destructive power of flame at his fingertips.
The last of her shape-shifting kind, Lyssa hides in the abandoned tunnels beneath Manhattan. Like Eddie, fire is her weapon, her destiny…and her curse. For beneath Lyssa’s extraordinary beauty are dangerous secrets…and even darker, nearly irresistible urges... (November 2011)
When the bond Maxine Kiss shares with Zee and the boys-the demons tattooed on her skin-is deliberately severed, the hunter is left vulnerable and unprotected. For the first time in ten thousand years, the boys have a taste of freedom-without Maxine’s guiding influence.
As they grow more violent and unpredictable, Maxine starts to fear the little demons will lose their minds without their attachment to her. But reuniting won’t be easy, as a great temptation waits for her little demons : a chance to return to their lives….and unleash hell on earth. (December 2011)
Thank you for this short but sweet post. I have been doing exactly that…editing and rediting instead of getting new words down. Maybe I need to pretend I’m leaving on a jet plane somewhere. Have a fantastic trip!
Wal-mart should have to do something with all those abandoned buildings, like contributing to a concept like that beautiful library.
The love story was just heartbreaking…and breathtaking.
true or tear down just dont let it sit there
