Writing, watching films, listening to CDs, playing my guitar, reading, writing. Bosch, Dali, Magritte, Lucien Freud. Yes, it's Sean Connery in Highlander. I can ever remember. Bowie, Manic Street Preachers, Hendrix, John Lee Hooker, Mansun, The Cult.
Words are just words.
Hardly any of my stories are cuss-free. If I take out all the four letter words, they just don't seem real. People swear all the time. At least where I live they do. So do the people I write about.
