There are some who are married to the Muse, and they know how to treat her right. They come home faithfully to her night after night, and she rewards their commitment with boundlessly rich vistas of creation. And then, there's me, who gambles on her good faith in the hope that she won't abandon me completely, as I careen through life with my hair on fire.  I visit her from time to time in fits of passion, box of chocolates and sheepish smile at the ready to do her bidding. So, I don't post as often as I'd like, but I hope you'll join me for those stolen moments when I do. They are precious to me... as are the thoughts and the time of my visitors.

I am widely recognized as the most promising author in my house, narrowly beating out a girlfriend who would rather go to the dentist than write ANYTHING, an eloquent and opinionated cat, two long-winded dogs, and an assortment of outdoor creatures who trespass on occasion.
