-
What’s something you do completely differently from how you were raised? Live.
-
What’s the best thing you’ve ever found randomly on the street? Your mom. Burn.
-
What’s the kindest thing someone has ever done for you? Put that 1973 coat hanger back on the rack. Did I mention I live in Texas? The coat hanger is real.
-
If the salary was the same, what job would you be doing right now and why? I would go back to work on the steam locomotive crew at Six Flags Over Texas. It was my dream job that I’d do for free! Nope. Someone caught wind of my Bruce Wayne/Batman life as a horror author…
-
Share a hobby you’ve picked up recently — what got you into it? I started playing guitar two years ago, and it has engulfed my life. I’m having surgery on both wrists in September. It was something I’d obsessed over since childhood, but we were broke as a joke and I had a minimal support…
-
What’s the weirdest coincidence you’ve ever experienced? Coincidentally, I’ve left this purposely blank. Weird?
-
What’s a book you never finished but still think about? The Christian bible. I was officially excommunicated by the congregation in January 2006 via certified letter. I had just returned home from my first trip to Disneyland and gotten engaged. Then they all banded together and stripped me of my children for a decade. When…
-
Which fictional world would be the most fun to vacation in? An America where the Constitution means something.
-
If you could go back and witness any historical event, which one would you pick? As a disabled veteran who took an oath to defend this country from all enemies, both foreign and domestic, I’d say January 6th, 2021. I would run through the poons with a hockey stick, knocking out their one good tooth.…
-
If you had to get a tattoo right now, what would it be and why? Is someone forcing me? Is it a scheduling thing? What’s my price range? Who’s paying? How many tattoos have you gotten? This is important!
-
How did you meet your significant other? She was my boss. I was truly frightened of her. She yelled at me on day one. When she asked me to lunch a couple of years into it, I thought it was so she could poison my food. We continued our lunches and got to know each…
-
What’s a cultural tradition from your country that you love? Americans CAN’T do this as a “country”. We’re too diverse. That said… As an American Caucasian, I’d say our cultural tradition is lying about cultural traditions. I don’t love it, but at least we’re consistent. That must count for something. I’m the day walker.
-
If you could relive one day from your past, which day would it be and why? December 18th, 2019. It was my 45th birthday, I had an undetected, early case of COVID, and tickets to Rise of Skywalker. I should’ve stayed in bed. Not because I was sick, but because, “Somehow, Palpatine returned…” Should I…
-
What’s the last movie that made you cry? Rise of Skywalker. When Poe said, “Somehow, Palpatine returned.” My inner writer cried all night. My inner child weeps still.
-
If you could erase one event from history, what would it be? June 14, 1946. Mary and Fred announced one they didn’t flush…
-
What’s a conspiracy theory you actually find believable? First off, who’s the buzz kill who designated it a conspiracy theory? Maybe they’re a psy-op. Trust no one.
-
How do you deal with uncertainty? I wait until I’m certain.
-
What’s a moment when you realized you were officially an adult? Adulting is a frame of mind. There were times I felt more of an adult at age seven than age fifty-two. Most forget there’s even a switch. Yesterday, I was a childlike musician. Today, I’m grocery shopping. It’s a choice from moment to moment.
-
Which is the best restaurant in your city? I’m allergic to chicken, turkey, eggs, fish, seafood, and mushrooms. My wife has Celiac disease (gluten free or slow death). The best resturant in Dallas is Company Cafe on Lowest Greenville, since they can accommodate 90% of our dietary restrictions. Other than that, my own kitchen. I…
-
None of them. Meeting other authors was the biggest mistake of my writing career.
-
Have you ever had surgery? What for? First time. I always thought these prompts were a weak way to entice writers to post and feed the algorithms. But… What if I used this daily prompt to write stories? Challenge accepted. Steve faded in and out of reality like a sleepy child somewhere between a sermon…
