Made-up worlds are far better than our real one.

You might find yourself reading one of my stories and thinking to yourself: "wow. What kind of illegal substance was he taking?"

That's really my goal. I try to write outside the boundaries of what I probably should be writing. Many would describe me as a bit of an eccentric person.

Yes.

I typically write complex sci-fi/fantasy horror with elements of human psychology. Ever since I watched Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings, I knew what I wanted to do with my life.

I try to involve an orange cat in any and all scenarios.

Work on thinking about it, running it multiple ways, almost like a film scene; eventually, I find it just comes to you. If not, try to discuss it with someone. That is the best way to find a quick solution, to get inspired, or to hear feedback on ideas you are thinking of. (less)

If you want to write a book and you have an idea, then write the book. You will never accomplish anything by pondering endlessly. Your first drafts are going to be terrible, you will hate every word that you write, but if you continue, you will eventually reach the end, and you will be a different person entirely. (less)

Rusthook by Tony Del Degan
“Exalted King who walks for two;
Center of our worldly form;
Grace above all other things;
Guide in what I’m wont to do,
Guide of hand and fire rod;
Sword of Heaven ‘gaist the storm;
Touched me in my mother’s tow;
So I knew the Word of God.

Give the blood of he who walks;
Knowing of the word of God;
Acting with the hand of God;
Heaven’s grace in twenty drops.
Penitent shall be the sheep;
Savior of their women bled;
Rest assured Golgotha grins;
For the root of pain is dead.”

Um....

Definitely the most disturbing book I've personally ever read. Stokoe really must have collected every kind of situation, description, or action that is disturbing to a human being--all flavors. Rape, murder, bestiality, abortion, self-harm, um
