Feeling sad means having too much time on your hands, usually. Really. I’m not a licensed therapist but usually it means too much time.

I have four or five ideas that just keep floating around and I want to kind of just let one - like a beautiful butterfly, let it land somewhere.

I've always had a fondness for the Gothic. That's what kind of stories attract me: Why do people do bad things?

I was raised feral, and I mostly stayed that way.

I am a great believer in jobs for teens. They teach important life lessons, build character, and inflict just the right amount of humiliation necessary for future success in the working world.

I always loved ghost stories and haunted house stories, whether they were done in a fantasy way or done in a realistic way.
