The Quite Changable Hidden Love Life

Married and monogamous is one status. Single, sexually active, dating more than one person a second possible circumstance you face in life. You are young and inexperienced, you are older experienced but perhaps due to age lack the opportunities you once enjoyed. Authoring fiction requires knowing something about what happens to all these kinds of people. […]

Secret Changes

Creating characters with emotional power I am finding requires the indirect method. The character needs context. Empathy can be aroused for a character whose partner has been hospitalized. If they are flawed that is all the better, and better still if they are worthy of sympathy. I don’t mean pity, but a true feeling of compassion […]

Ain’t Changing Nothin’

So, it is to be mused upon, laugh hard mate, that change is what it is, and things remaining the same is as probable as your discovery of immortality.

I was in a campground in Montana, down to my last hundred dollars when a backpacker hiked […]

Change’scape’….

A vein of arid land extends north from the Great Basin Desert in Eastern Oregon until it ends just north of where I stood in British Columbia. Traveling south on the empty stretches of Highway 395 will take you through empty and wild lands, there are places where if you look the eye can see […]
