For me fiction is probably the most important thing in the world. I don’t know what else I can say to add to that. I mean, I’ve trained in journalism, but steeped in fiction. And fiction is so much harder for me to produce.

I mean, journalism isn’t easy for me. I hate the actual process of talking to people and finding things out about them. I’m much better off when people just talk to me and I can remember what they said. Fiction though, fiction involves telling characters where to go, not just reporting the interesting things they did. It’s hard for me. But I feel like I have to be doing it. Even if nothing ever sells again. I just want some interesting tales to my name.

I’m tossing some of my stories and fragments of stories up on a separate blog: 10kTown. You’ll need a password to access anything I’m working on publishing. Just ask and I’ll let you in.
