My blog, LITPARK.COM, is a literary playground featuring a question of the week, interviews, hot topics for writers and other artists, and lots of interaction with my readers.
I've interviewed Neil Gaiman (AMERICAN GODS, STARDUST), Lemony Snicket (A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS), Peter de Seve (THE NEW YORKER cover artist), Josh Kilmer-Purcell (I AM NOT MYSELF THESE DAYS), Owen King (WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER), Bruce Benderson (THE ROMANIAN), Rachel Resnick (GO WEST, FUCKED-UP CHICK), David Morrell (FIRST BLOOD), Adrienne Brodeur (ZOETROPE founding editor), Lauren Cerand (publicist), Buck Lewis (animator for ANT BULLY, ICE AGE, and CARS), John Hodgman (MY AREAS OF EXPERTISE), and many many others.
Stop by and introduce yourself!
About my libraryI love writers who find that tender space between heartbreak and hope. I love characters who yearn for the impossible with no illusions that they'll ever get their wish.

(Oraibi, Arizona Hopi Nation)
There is a river flowing now very fast.
It is so great and swift, that there are those who will be afraid.
They will try to hold onto the shore.
They will feel they are being torn apart and will suffer greatly.
Know the river has its destination.
The elders say we must let go of the shore,
push off into the middle of the river,
keep our eyes open,
and our heads above the water.
And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate.
At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally.
Least of all, ourselves.
For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.
The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves!
Banish the word 'struggle' from your attitude and your vocabulary.
All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
WE ARE THE ONES WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.

Future I am well familiar with. We continue to sell it well. Well, we continue to sell it.
I don't know from amazon shorts. This means I print it out on my computer...or just save it on my computer. I think I dig.
No, you don't stop writing just because you've got flights lined up on the runway and no one's taking off. I find myself with a similar dilemma. My agent has 2 manuscripts while I have finished a 3rd and started a 4th. Why? Because I have to.
