It’s not that I don’t like the real world, I just prefer not to live there full‐time. — M T McGuire, 2012

When it feels right but is … wrong. #writing #indiebooks
I talk frankly about the things I’ve fucked up in my author career so you can avoid copying me.

October 28, 2017Just the basic facts? I wish …
When is news … Well … not news but … say … propaganda. Yes, it’s a little bit of politics this week. Yikes. News is, and always has been, complicated.

Sometimes the difference between genius and madness is failure. Other times, it’s a simple case of the idea being crap. This is the tale of an […]
