Why? A Blog By Tom Hoover - The Archives

I’m thankful for this blog” and other things you never thought you’d hear me say. Or see me write. Or truly mean. Oh forget it. Just read it!

Even though it seems like novel-writing and blog-writing would be like comparing oranges to oranges, it’s more like oranges to apples, and one of them is rotten.

I’m having muse issues again. Better grab some wine … for her, not you.
