Knocked out a few thousand words over the last couple of days. I would have done more, but I’m also plotting out non-fictional areas of my life. Gotta admit, I like the horror and the fantasy better. 😉 Cheers, y’all! #writerslife #horrorwriter #urbanfantasyauthor #shortstorywriter

My internet was spotty as hell tonight. Seemed like an ideal time to get started on my last short story of the year. Only around 500 words tonight. But they flowed at smoothly as the whiskey in my glass. Cheers, y’all! #shortstories #supernaturalthriller #writerslife
