My blog is based on the idea of my creative well. This is the source of all my ideas. Drawing from the Well describes the latest progress on writing novels and business updates. Filling the Well explores all the ways I recharge including reading, TV, movies, and games. Lastly, Well Chat is a topic-based discussion of writing craft and what I’ve learned along my journey. Check out what I’m doing!
