Guest Post – The Writer’s Life: Jazz, Dogs, and Homer Simpson
When I’m not writing, you could find me at the park with my dogs.
And I suppose that’s how I’d choose to spend my final day on Earth if I knew tomorrow wasn’t
coming.
My English bulldogs aren’t just beloved pets; they’re my spirit animals and the inspiration
behind my imprint, Bulldog Publishing.
They mean everything to me. Even if they do drive me a little bonkers at times, but if you asked
me to describe myself in five words or less, I’d say: I’m just an average dog-dad in search for
life’s true meaning.
That’s also the philosophical bent which drew me to writers like Charles Bukowski, John Fante,
Ernest Hemingway, and Fyodor Dostoevsky, whose Notes from The Underground is a book I
believe everyone should read.
My hero?
Homer Simpson; believe it or not.
Yes, he does have the IQ of a doorknob, but there’s a simple, and almost carefree approach to
his life that I think we could all benefit from.
There are no dull days in Homer’s world, but he has love and a devotion to his family that is
both unrivalled and one of his most endearing features. People admire that in Homer, and that
is something which I strive to create within my writing.
