Bio
things change . . . pieces have fallen off . . . broken on the floor . . . swept out the door . . . it's time for something new . . . rather than faded and confused, lost in the babble of wondering what is valid to be read by others . . . instead, i'm letting in those where i can be me, and search for me, without being afraid of being hurt, betrayed, forgotten . . .

i write. it's an addiction, a love, a passion, a piece of me. i wander my own, little world because the truth is, once upon a time, reality wasn't worth living through, and now that i'm able to think straight, i decided to keep the story going anyway. i write about my fiction, i write about life. i write about everything else i can think of that usually doesn't have much interest to anyone else except for me. ah well. tis life.

"Let me tell you what a writer is. A writer takes comprehensive views, holds large convictions, makes wide generalizations. A writer's not English, Mexican, or American. A writer's not a woman nor a man. A writer's not Christian, Jew, Buddhist, Muslim, nor snake worshipper. To local standards of right and wrong a writer's civilly indifferent. In the virtues, a writer's concerned only with general expediency. A writer doesn't waste time focusing on fixed moral principles that aren't yet before the court of conscience. Happiness discloses itself to a writer as the end and purpose of life, and art and love are the only means to a writer's happiness. A writer is free of all doctrines, theories, etiquettes, and politics. To a writer, a continent doesn't seem long, nor a century wide. And a writer has ever present consciousness that this is a world of...fools and rogues, blind with superstition, tormented with envy, consumed with vanity, selfish, false, cruel, cursed with illusions, and frothing mad."

-Ambrose Bierce

"I want to write about people I love, and put them into a fictional world spun out of my own mind, not the world we actually have, because the world we actually have does not meet my standards. Okay, so I should revise my standards; I'm out of step. I should yield to reality. I have never yielded to reality. That's what SF is all about. If you wish to yield to reality, go read Philip Roth; read the New York literary establishment mainstream bestselling writers….This is why I love SF. I love to read it; I love to write it. The SF writer sees not just possibilities but wild possibilities. It's not just 'What if' - it's 'My God; what if' - in frenzy and hysteria. The Martians are always coming."

-Philip K. Dick
