A Window Into The Life Of The 'Bad Guy'

I am ashamed to say that I only just realized that this site had a blog feature yesterday. With that discovery in mind, I realized that I might as well talk about my thoughts and what I have been up to as of late. To tell you the truth, I have only recently recovered from months of crippling depression and chaos. I have been busy, but I have recently returned to my writing in full force despite my struggles with my estranged writing friends and all of the other people who suddenly decided that I did not align with their perception of moral decency. I was called a "sociopath," an "asshole," and a "bigoted deviant" all for defending myself against an onslaught of relentless abuse when I chose to speak out against Donald Trump and his hypocritical "family values" supporters. There are many reasons to be angry about Donald Trump winning the election and I am angry about pretty much all of them, but the one I touched on in my brief rant (which has since been deleted by the powers that be) was about his supporters and not so much about him.

I was angry that the same people who called me a "pervert," an "abomination against God," and a "bad influence on children" would vote for a man who said that it is okay to sexually assault women if you are rich. Christ, there is so much else about this man that is morally deplorable that I do not even have the time to get into all of it. He is a bigot, he is a misogynist, he is likely a rapist, he is a fraud, and he is a con artist. He encourages hate and division in this country... and I cannot fathom how I am the bad guy for calling his supporters out on their nonsense. Now, I normally wouldn't be driven into depression by something as trivial as a few people bashing me for my political views, but these were my so called "friends." These were people I trusted and dare I say, loved. I knew them for years. I loved them as much as a person like me could love anyone and they treated me worse than a canine in a dog-fighting ring. They verbally beat me to Hell and back, and then completely abandoned me so that all I could do was clean up the pieces they left behind.

Well, guess what? I have pulled myself out of that pit and I am back now. I am writing up a storm and I would like to think that my fiction is sharper than ever. A story of mine that has been referred to as "a masterpiece" by several credible beta-readers is currently being edited and I am going to send it out to agents and publishers as soon as it is ready. I am working on Part II of Love, Guns and Rosemary as we speak... and I have several other projects to work on next. My passion is reignited and my heart is mended. I am ready to face whatever nonsense President Trump and his administration throw my way. Get ready, folks. Hard times are certainly approaching, but I have plenty of awesome stuff coming to you as well. Keep a look out for my upcoming blog posts. You will soon see what I am cooking.

Spoiler alert:

It is all awesome.
