My love of fiction started with an old musty box in my uncle's garage that held a treasure trove of old magazines and paperbacks, but it wasn't the artwork that held my attention, it was the short fiction and the novels. I devoured works by Louis L'Amour, Vonnegut, Fleming, and Hemingway. Those book...

Preston Poulter Interesting. I’ll check it out. Did the publisher give their reasons for why they banned it?
Oh ok. Thanks for explaining, J.R Meek. I just looked up some more Dark Fantasy movies, and one article says "Edward Scissorhands" is a Dark Fantasy. It's been a long time since I've seen that movie,...

Hi Hank Isaac , happy IYW! Good looking website - it's a great tool for taking control of your own career. I'm curious, what is an exhibit designer and how did you come about that?

Hey buddy. Nice to have you here! For me it's all about having a plan. When I'm confident about the structure and story framework, it becomes less hard for me sit down and write, because I know where I am going and where the finishing line is.
