It's been about 8 years since I seriously put pen to paper to write something, and since joining up with WNG I have just felt this huge surge of creativity.  It's totally addicting.  I am pleased to present to you a preview of my submission for WNG's very first anthology...Wasteland.  Set in modern day rural Illinois, this is a tale of good people with bad habits, and what it takes to make someone consider changing those habits.  It was a blast to write, and is a subject near and dear to me. 

When I wrote this I came to understand why some writers have gone on record saying that they feel like they are being guided by the characters, rather than the other way around.  I had an insistent voice in my head while I was writing this...I would find myself taking the story one direction and feel this very strong sense of someone telling me "No, that isn't the way it happened, try something else," as if this were an historical account rather than a work of fiction.  It was kind of eerie, but very invigorating at the same time.  But we can talk about the philosophy of creation another time!

I am pleased to report that WNG is making great progress on our anthology coming out on June 20th!  Keep an eye on the writing forum as more and more previews are released.  After it's all over, we'll be starting another big project, and I for one can't wait.  It is not too late to be a part of this project, or just hop on board for the next one!  Now is the time to be creative.  There are some big things coming down the pipe and I want you all to be a part of it.  The more people we have writing, the more awesome our projects are going to be.  I would love to see some more screenwriters, poets, songwriters, editors, and game writers.  One of us.  One of us.  Gooble gobble gooble gobble.

But the REAL reason I made this post is because...my submission for the project is done!  And June 20th is VERY far away.  I am ready IMMEDIATELY for more side projects.  Do you have a story you want to collaborate on?  Do you want to spearhead a new writing project, like a collection of limerick poems, or maybe a Writing Relay like this one I put together?  Maybe you are in love with your pet Iguana, and would like him to be immortalized in a poem or song?  PM me, join WNG, and come hang with us.  Or just PM me!  I am ready to work with you.
