"He might have been able to give up on the idea before he started working on it, but that was out of the question now. He was up to his neck in it. He was breathing the air of its world, adapting to its gravity. The story's essence had permeated every part of him, to the walls of his viscera."

My War with Words

Who am I?

I am a professional radio broadcaster, an occasional audiobook narrator, an avid reader, a Moxie aficionado, a Red Sox fan, and - above all - I am a writer who is ready to share his work. 

What is My War with Words all about?

My War with Words is a platform where I share my knowledge about the creative process and my ongoing battle with my novel-in-progress, The History of Strange. At MyWarwithWords.com I will also share my other works, including my contest-winning screenplay, Soul to Keep, my short stories, and my soon-to-be-published novel, The Apochryphal Life of Ian Gafney. 

Why should you follow My War with Words?

By following My War with Words, my fellow hacks, you will learn, perhaps, that you are not alone.  That's the point, really. I hope you'll come away with something new to think about as you continue your creative journey, and in return, I hope you will help me limp along mine.

My War with Words

This blog is about my novel-in-progress, The History of Strange, a project I have been working on for over four decades. The entries herein are, by extension, the story of the course of my life - my CV, if you will - as mundane as that may sometimes be.
