Love heart encrusted i's of a lovers handwritten note. Times New Roman for print & Arial for screen. Favorite Place to Write:
No special desk - dosent work. A cluttered kitchen table, well worn leather recliner, or sitting cross legged at the edge of the bed - it all works.

In bed, a bench by the bay, the toilet, snuggie clad by the heater in winter and outside with the sun on my back in summer.
Best time of day to write:
When the moon is high and bright. Ideally blue as well.
Bio/Mission
I was born with my own umbilical cord strangling me to death. Now my own self doubt tries to strangle the thoughts I seek to put on paper to death. Not much has changed in the 25 years between.
I've passed the late stages of early life, grown up and out, hibernated, tried to be someone else, attempted to be a better version of myself and for now I'm happy to just be while seeking to set free the ideas in my mind and unleash them on unsuspecting victims.
Inspirations
Writers - Hunter S. Thompson (including pre-Gonzo Hells Angels and Rum Diary), Brett Easton Ellis, Roald Dahl, John Steinbeck, Ernest Hemingway, George Orwell, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Haruki Murakami and many more.
Life and the truth as I see it are my biggest inspiration. I'm a firm beliver that truth is stranger (& far more entertaining) than the wildest fiction.
