To Love With Hate

I finally re read my novel, correcting some of the edits the copy editor missed, and each time I read this story, it sends my emotions on a free -fall parachute ride, once again. It’s been a long journey of frustration, pain and learning, but I believe it is worth it, especially since the world would never see this book published if the NDE I went through last april wen the other way. I will post the publicat Read More

“Hey!”

Whatever happened to Hello or Hi? The standard word used now for a greeting is Hey! It has become universal, at least in the little part of the world that lets me inhabit it. A doc walks by me in the hall way and just says “Hey”. Then he doesn’t look up from his cell phone. I respond by saying, “Dave”.

MSGW is the title of a new video documentary I’m producing, inspired by my friend’s recently released short film: “Kama Sutra King”. Just kidding of course, but it is kind of a good idea. My readers understand this is all in clean fun. Would Bill Clinton then ask for the definition of “clean”? But aren’t you proud that I posted a picture with this piece of out of this world, stunning, adjective &# Read More

Headline: “Wine soaked tongue inspires fingers to type”

But then, if the gorgeous red I’m drinking is so effective in making my fingers fly on the keyboard, why is my mind drawing a blank? I’ve only enjoyed half a glass. So far. Sure, I’ve written about what inspires my writing, you know – doodling in church, writing on cocktail napkins at the bar, and trying to remember my stimulating ideas while swimming laps. But maybe all of this is wrong. It’s the red win Read More
