Like Twain, Smith and Fowler, most authors I know
will agree that little about the craft of writing is easy. That
doesn't mean the process isn't fun! Quite the opposite. Creating
a fictional tale, putting words to paper, breathing life into
imaginary characters is nothing if not an adventure, a journey.
A hero's journey. Which brings me to the theme of this Web site.
My own writing journey.
Welcome to my Twelve Step Program.
More than any other reference sources, Chris Vogler's THE
WRITER'S JOURNEY and Robert McKee's STORY
have influenced my Adventures in Authoring. I've been lucky enough,
in fact, to attend two of Mr. McKee's lectures and reap the benefits
of Mr. Vogler's seminar first hand. I'd thought I'd share bits
and pieces of my life and my career as a published author in a
format that makes the most sense to me, reflecting the sort of
progression that lends itself to the constant updates that define
an ongoing Hero's Journey. So, without further ado, on to the
first step!
My Ordinary World!
