Debbie Viguie: Always Been a Writer

Debbie ViguiƩ has been writing for most of her life and holds a degree in creative writing from U.C. Davis. She has had numerous appearances on the New York Times Bestseller list for the Wicked series as well as cracking the yearly top 10 Christian book list for Booklist with the Psalm 23 series.

I met Debbie at Stellar Con not long ago, and I thought she was pretty awesome, so I figured you needed to meet her too. 

Tell us a bit about your most recent work.

I just released Celtic Charms, book 2 in the Twin Destinies series, featuring the world-famous Harp Twins. I depict fictionalized versions of the ladies as the heroes in the stories, fighting the forces of darkness. They create albums of original music to go with each book. We have all three been pushing each other creatively and it has been great fun!

What are the themes and subjects you tend to revisit in your work?

The struggle between light and darkness, people being able to accomplish more than they ever dreamed, family is who you choose

What happened in your life that prompted you to become a writer? 

I’ve always been a writer. I started writing poetry and short stories about my toys when I was very, very young. Then my third-grade teacher pushed creative writing a lot in her class. She told my parents that they should encourage me to be a writer, which I was already thinking about.

What inspires you to write? 

Everything I see and hear inspires me. An interesting song lyric, a weird conversation, a “what if” sort of daydream. I find inspiration everywhere I turn. As for the actual exercise of writing itself, it’s a compulsion. I can’t NOT write. Even when I’m on vacation, it just comes out of me. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve taken home napkins from restaurants with a paragraph or notes for a book scrawled on them.

Kaye Lynne Booth: Who Almost Wasn't

Kaye Lynne Booth is a freelance writer, editor, and multi-genre author. She holds dual MFA in Creative Writing – Genre Fiction and Screenwriting, and is finishing up an M.A. in Publishing. To earn her publishing degree, she is working under the mentoring of Kevin J. Anderson on the Gilded Glass: Twisted Myths & Shattered Fairy Tales editorial team from Western State Colorado University and WordFire Press and compiling and editing Weird Tales: The Best of the Early Years 1926-27, under Jonathan Maberry.

Tell us a bit about your latest work. 

The Rock Star & The Outlaw is a time-travel adventure about a hard-rocking singer and a time-traveling cowboy, who end up running from the law no matter what “when” they land in. He’s from 1887, she’s from 2025 and they are in for the time-traveling ride of their lives. The story was inspired by the music of The Pretty Reckless and the book includes a full chapter-by-chapter playlist of their music, which heads off each of Amaryllis’ chapters, and the songs by other artists, which head off LeRoy’s chapters.

What are the themes and subjects you tend to revisit in your work? 

Most of my works feature strong female protagonists, so that’s a common thread, but I write in multiple genres, so all of my works are very different. The books in my Women in the West series each have strong female protagonists and feature fictionalized versions of true historic old West characters. The Rock Star & The Outlaw has a strong female protagonist, but it has a strong male protagonist to balance it out.

What happened in your life that prompted you to become a writer? 

I almost wasn’t. In undergraduate school, I was undecided about what I wanted to do with my life. I did well in my English classes, but then I had a bad experience with a student teacher that soured me on pursuing my writing abilities for almost a decade. Then, I found myself writing novel-length letters of correspondence, so I began writing and sending stuff out via snail mail, and I sold my first poem for $5. When the Internet came into existence it changed everything for me, as it gave me a way to get my writing out there, so that was probably the event that gave me my first big boost into the writing world.

What inspires you to write?

Inspiration comes from everywhere around me. I’ve written poems about rocks, birds, flowers, and other elements of the natural world. I might be inspired by a conversation overheard in line at the grocery store, or an interaction between my dog and cat, a television episode or a movie scene. Really, it could be anything. 

The Rock Star & The Outlaw story idea came to me while listening to the songs by The Pretty Reckless and each chapter title for Amaryllis comes from one of their songs. LeRoy’s chapter titles are song titles by various other artists and music genres.

The idea for Book 1 of The Women in the West series, Delilah, came from a graduate school assignment meant to get me to write outside of my comfort zone, in the Western genre, and turned into my first full-length novel. As it turns out, I am quite comfortable writing westerns and I’m preparing for the launch of my second western novel, Book 2 of the Women in the West adventure series, Sarah. In addition, I have written several short stories in the Western genre, and The Rock Star & The Outlaw has Western elements combined with a science fiction, time-travel storyline.

What would be your dream project? 

I lost my son to teen suicide at the age of 19. My dream project would be to write his true story through my eyes, without the worry of legalities, which is what has stopped me from writing it so far. It would be a memorial to him, but I hope it would be a book other parents could benefit from and lives might be saved just by knowing some of the warning signs that I didn’t catch. Maybe someday.

If you have any former project to do over to make it better, which one would it be, and what would you do? 

I did this already with Delilah, which I originally found a publisher for as a stand-alone novel. When the five-year contract was up and the book hadn’t done as well as I had hoped, I chose not to renew the contract, revised the book to better reflect my original vision for it, and republished it through my own small, independent publishing house, WordCrafter Press, as Book 1 in the Women in the West adventure series, and I have to say sales are much improved.

What inspires you to write? 

Writing is my passion, so I guess maybe you’d say I have an unquenchable need to express myself and be understood.

What writers have influenced your style and technique? 

I don’t know about that. I have my own style and technique. It’s harder to imitate a style than it is to write like I write.

I can tell you my favorite authors are Stephen King and Anne Rice. Their knack for vivid description is amazing, and if I was going to emulate any writer, it would be those two. Also, for writing Western, I read a lot of Louis L’Amore.

Where would you rank writing on the "Is it an art or it is a science continuum?" 

Why? Writing is a creative endeavor, so it is an art form, with infinite possibilities. There is no set formula, no right or wrong way to test out, so it can’t possibly be a science. 

What is the most difficult part of your artistic process? 

Juggling. 

Since I do the whole process myself, from conceptualizing, to writing, to designing book covers, writing back cover copy and promotional materials, to publishing the book and getting it out there. There are a lot of different tasks to juggle, especially when you are working on two and three different projects in various stages at a time.

Up until recently, the only part I outsourced was having another set of editorial eyes to go over the first draft. But lately, I’ve come to the realization that I cannot do everything. There is not enough time in a day, so I’ve begun outsourcing my book covers and trailers, because although I enjoy creating with images, it takes time away from what I really love, and that is writing.

How do your writer friends help you become a better writer? Or do they not? 

The thing I love most about author communities is the collaborative opportunities that can be found. I work with other authors and publish at least one anthology a year, sometimes more. And when I wanted to create a virtual writing conference after COVID hit, I found plenty of authors willing to donate their time to the effort, resulting in a fabulous lineup of panels and workshops. 

And I learn from every author that I work with. I grab ideas of ways to run my author business, or a new crafting method from books that I review. I was fortunate to be able to study under the International Bestselling author, Kevin J. Anderson, and I can’t tell you how much I learned from him about just putting yourself out there with your words, and about the publishing industry in general.

What does literary success look like to you? 

Many authors have this idea that success comes with the label of bestselling author. While that label is appealing to most of us, there’s more to this author thing, and writing a bestseller isn’t the only possible goal. 

For me, I get tickled every time I come across someone who has read one of my books and liked it. Positive reviews are good for the soul and wonderful motivators. And that’s what makes me feel successful.

Any other upcoming projects you would like to plug?

Right now, I’m excited about Sarah, Book 2 of the Women in the West adventure series. Each book in the series features strong female protagonists and true historical characters. The 21-day Kickstarter campaign started January 22, with early digital copies and signed print copies available, as well as special illustrated editions of books 1 & 2, all of which are available nowhere else. Then, in March I’ll be doing a separate launch and the books will become available through distributors in March.

Swords, Magic, and the Armor of Author David Wright

A Georgia Bulldog and Atlanta United fan living in Middle Tennessee, David Wright grew up on comic books and Swords & Sorcery novels, where he gained an early passion for storytelling. Ever since he read Dragons of Autumn Twilight by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman in 1984, he knew he wanted to write an epic medieval fantasy series. He's also a friend, and I think you should get to know him too!

What prompted you to start this series?

David: Well, I've had a lifelong love for swords & sorcery fantasy and Arthurian legends. This includes playing 1st Ed. AD&D and Red Box/Keep on the Borderlands Basic D&D in the early 80s at the very height of the "Satanic Panic" media scare surrounding the game at the time. I found all the hoopla ridiculous because as a player I knew how innocent and fun the game was.

Now fast forward 20 years and the Lord of the Rings movies are being praised for their (alleged) Christian themes by some of the same type of conservative watchdog groups that once condemned Dungeons & Dragons. I found that hilariously ironic and also as equally ridiculous as the early 80s scare.

In other words, I didn't see the Devil in D&D and I didn't see Jesus in Lord of the Rings. Now, I know it's possible to play a very dark campaign, but I also know it is not intrinsic to the game and there's room for something quite the opposite. I've always seen D&D as an exercise in collaborative improv storytelling and that always appealed to me.

Now I should make it clear that I am a professing Christian and I do my best every day to live accordingly (with full acknowledgment that I fail often and sometimes spectacularly so), but it is quite interesting to me that so many conservative groups and a subset of Christians have such discomfort with the entire genre of Fantasy. I've spent time pondering that. How is a fantastic story blasphemous or threatening to the Faith? It's interesting how quickly the conversation then turns to the idea of religion or the common use in Fantasy of a polytheistic pantheon. There just seemed to be *something* that intertwines the subjects of Fantasy and spirituality in people's minds, for whatever reason that I can't explain.

I simply felt like this disconnect and this discomfort was where the dramatic conflict could be. I wanted to lean into the idea of Christianity existing in a fantasy world where magic is real. I wanted to set out to disprove the Satanic Panic of the early 80s while knowing full well the Bible warns us strongly against witchcraft and divination.

By the mid-80s I was an assistant DM and helped develop the original campaign setting that we used. In 1984, the original Dragonlance Chronicles came out and I knew right away that I wanted to one day adapt D&D adventures into a novel. Now, it was in no way a Christian-themed campaign. It wasn't until the LOTR movies that I started considering writing a novel, but once I did hit upon the idea of that central dramatic conflict, I remembered our old campaign setting.

So very quickly I had a theme and a setting. And I even brought in three characters that were PCs in our mid-80s campaign. The rest of the cast (including the main character) and all of the plot were created after I started developing the novel series. This included role-playing sessions with just me and a single player, a friend of mine who helped me develop the main character. And through our game sessions, many of the series' action set pieces were devised and improvised.

I developed story ideas throughout the first half of the 2000s, spending all of that time not thinking it was very realistic to actually put out a novel. That all changed with Van Allen Plexico launching White Rocket Books and publishing his Sentinels series, beginning (I believe) in 2006. Suddenly, a novel seemed very realistic and that really lit my fire and I finally got serious about it all. I ended up getting a tremendous amount of support and encouragement from Van, and it is likely none of these books would have ever seen the light of day without him. So big shout out to Van!

Is there something in particular about knights and the genre that draws you to it? What is that?

David: There must be, but I'm not sure I can articulate it. I saw a production of Camelot at a young age and my Dad raised me on Errol Flynn's Adventures of Robin Hood and the Robert Taylor Ivanhoe film. I just always loved that romanticized idea of the Age of Chivalry. I was particularly drawn to the King Arthur and Robin Hood stories. But then you add in fantasy elements like wizards, dragons, and magic swords and how can anyone resist? Having a great D&D group at the right impressionable age probably really cemented things for me.

It's rich ground for themes revolving around duty and honor and other heroic ideals. It also lends itself easily to epic stories with the fates of entire kingdoms often at stake. What's not to like? Knights are cool.

You have said before that you wanted to write something that talked about faith but not as a direct allegory, such as Lewis, or to a lesser degree, Tolkien. Why did you want to avoid that and what did you want to say about the life of faith?

David: Well, to clarify, while I do not think I've written in allegory, I've also not done anything to hide the idea that this story very much is set in a world that has had Christianity introduced to it. The backstory is that at the fall of Camelot, Merlin cast the final act of magic our world would ever see to send Sir Galahad away. Galahad is the knight of the round table that found the Holy Grail and in my version of the story, Mordred was after it in that final battle at Camelot that saw him kill King Arthur. Honoring Arthur's final wish, Merlin kept the Grail safe by sending it with Galahad through a hastily summoned portal.  That portal took the knight to the world of Lanis and he happened to have his Bible with him.

My story opens several hundred years after that and we see that Galahad spent the rest of his days traveling and spreading the Word and now there is some form of his religion from the World of Adam that has taken root and grown prevalent. Before he died, he was given a vision of basically a global reboot, similar to the Great Flood account in Genesis in which the world is all but destroyed for the purpose of starting over. This prophecy of his became known as Galahad's Doom.

But I did write the story to not be preachy, to not be some kid-friendly, contrite Sunday School lesson. I very much was concerned with writing an epic-scale action-adventure that would appeal to everyone regardless of their beliefs, or absence of beliefs. Partially to that end, the names God and Jesus never appear in the books. The words Christianity and Bible never appear in the books. It's not that these ideas are avoided, but that different nomenclature has taken root in this world of Lanis.

This is a cool action adventure first, albeit one that just happens to be informed by my personal faith. This is not written at a juvenile level; I wrote for me. The story I wanted to read didn't exist, so I wrote it. There's a large cast, a complex plot with multiple subplots, and shades-of-gray characters. Not every good guy is a believer, and not every believer is a good guy.

Think of it like this: Krynn -- the world featured in the Dragonlance series-- includes gods such as Paladine and Reorx that I do not actually believe in. Yet, I'm able to accept that they are the gods of that story and I'm still able to very much enjoy it. If someone out there believes in Jesus about as much as they believe in Paladine then they can still enjoy my story, just like we all do with Dragonlance. It doesn't have to be any different than that and, by the way, the story is awesome. I'm especially proud of the third book in the trilogy, The Armor of God, that just came out. If you'll come along for the ride, I promise you'll be blown away. I'm just so extremely pleased with how the final book turned out and how the whole series ends. It is so worth the investment of reading the first two books to get to it. The best part is I am 100 percent convinced that every single member of my large cast got exactly the right ending. I can't wait to hear back from readers.

As for what I want to say about the life of faith, my themes are universal, dealing with duty, honor, temptation, corruption, and redemption. And in Galen Griffon, I have a protagonist who struggles with feelings of unworthiness and is forced to choose between serving his god or his king. Church or State.

His arc in the first book, My Brother's Keeper, is very much a metaphor for my own journey. (Even though I've never had a magic sword. As far as I know.)

What is your work schedule during the time you bust out a novel the length of these?

David: Ha! Well, for anyone who's been following along, it's no secret that years and years have gone by between each of my novels. That's one reason I'm so happy to have completed the trilogy: now, all the delays are behind me and people can start the series and not be left hanging.

I wrote the first book in just under a year during a time when I was traveling a lot for my job. Hours and days spent in airports and hotels, away from my family, gave me plenty of time to work rather quickly.

By the time of the second book, I had a different job and had a regular life of coming home to a family every day who needed me for the boring real-life stuff.  So I just wrote when I could and never really figured out a good writing schedule.

With this third book, I developed an idea for a new workflow approach that I think could have helped me a lot, but as it turned out I didn't need it, so I haven't tested this idea yet. So my biggest challenge with sitting down to write is having the time to go back over my notes and what has been written before and just needing a long ramp to tap back into that creative vibe to be able to start knocking out scenes again. I came up with an approach to minimize or possibly eliminate that long ramp. Maybe detailing that idea could be a subject for a different interview, but suffice it to say that the third book came to me so easily that "ramping up" was never an issue.

While this third book has come out several years after the previous one, it was actually written in a trio of 60-day bursts. I first cracked the story in 2018 and wrote about 30k words in just a couple of months. Then a bunch of Real Life happened. I got a new job which involved a big move to a different state and I also lost my laptop. I knew I had backed up my work to Dropbox but I couldn't restore access to that account so for a long time I thought my work was lost. Luckily, that got resolved. Then in early 2020, I opened up the project again and it all just started pouring out of me. I couldn't type fast enough. It all came to me so fully realized that I just had to get it all down... until I got to the end of the second act.

Then I came to a screeching halt. I had two ways in my head for possible endings, but I also didn't know what role my large supporting cast could have in the final act. So I walked away and trusted my characters to solve it for me. I was not the creator of this story, I have been merely the reporter. All this stuff has really happened, it has just been my job to discover it and present it in the coolest way possible. Eventually, a character whispered the answer in my ear one night and I was off to the races again.

I've never had writing go so easily for me as with the writing of The Armor of God. As the third installment, it was just a race to the finish line and the pace of the book is exactly that. It's just relentless with the only levity coming from my bard character's storyline. I'm proud of that one. A true bard's adventure where winning the day requires writing the perfect song. (If it all lent itself to dozens of hidden Beach Boys references, well, I just can't help that. I'm just the reporter, after all.)

What are the books and who are the authors who influenced you in your growth as a writer?

David: My four main inspirations for the Galahad's Doom series are: L'morte d'Artur by Sir Thomas Malory, The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien, The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis, and The Dragonlance Chronicles by Weis and Hickman.

(I pay homage to all of these with a quartet of redshirts named Malory, Lewis, Reuel, and Krynn).

I also owe a huge debt to Van Allen Plexico and all the New Pulp and indie authors I know.

I have studied Joseph Campbell and also found studying short stories to be an easy way to discern story structure. To that end, I read a lot of Poe and O Henry.

Tell us about your other work too.

David: The books in my Galahad's Doom trilogy (My Brother's Keeper, Marching As To War, and The Armor of God) are my first three novels. In addition to those, I have had short stories included in The Sentinels: Alternate Visions and Gideon Cain: Demon Hunter by White Rocket books and in Hero's Best Friend from Seventh Star Press.

We'll see what's next. I have both Untold Tale-style short story ideas and prequel novel ideas for the world of Galahad's Doom. I'm also definitely open to the idea of inviting other writers into my sandbox for an anthology. So if that sounds good to any writers out there (including you, Sean!) then reach out and let me know.

In addition to my writing, I have a YouTube channel called American Soccer Quick Kicks where I discuss the Men's National Team, MLS, and the rules of the game to casual fans of the sport, or just soccer-curious sports fans. It's all short-form content: no deep dives, usually just ten minutes or so to keep you updated and then get you back to your day.

Where can we find out more about you and your work?

David: My website is http://www.galahadsdoom.com

My YouTube is http://www.youtube.com/@americansoccerquickkicks

On Twitter, I am @defdave

Now that the series is complete, I hope to devote more time and effort to marketing. I thank you for this interview. I'm open to other bloggers and podcasters out there and I'll be looking at getting into whatever library shows, lit fairs, and retailer expos I can manage to find regionally.

What's the best advice you ever received about writing?

David: Observe life. Our world is too rich to ever have boring characters.

Also, make sure writing stays fun. Take pleasure in language. Relish it, savor it. Wield it like a scalpel... or maybe a Sword +2.

But what really unlocked me as a writer was understanding story structure. Take that seriously. Understand what makes stories work. Once I got my head around structure, the rest came easy for me.

Ricky Ruszin: People Are the Real Monsters

During the day Ricky Ruszin is an elementary school educator. At night he's a writer. Kind of like Batman, except he doesn’t fight crime. 

Tell us a bit about your latest work.

My upcoming book Showtime is a suspense thriller about a college student who learns that his grandparents’ television allows him to travel to the past. Once he makes that discovery, he uses it to travel back in time to try and stop the perpetrator of the talent show massacre that claimed his grandmother's life. So, you know, it’s a real feel-good story.

What happened in your life that prompted you to become a writer?

I went to a career advisor and said, “What career can I try that’s incredibly difficult, solitary, and leaves my financial future uncertain?” And voila! I became a writer.

Kidding.

I started writing fiction in high school and later focused on it in college where I earned my BA in English Language and Literature. I wrote my first novel that summer, teaching myself as I went, and have been writing since.

What inspires you to write?

All types of storytelling. Movies, TV, books. Any time a story is being told well, it starts the creative juices flowing and amplifies my own desire to write and create.

What are the themes and subjects you tend to revisit in your work?

I’ve always been intrigued by the idea of people being the real monsters. Ghosts and demons and zombies make good antagonists and are scary in their own right, but there’s something extra creepy and unsettling about the idea of someone who can put on a pleasant, charming face for people they know, and swap it out for a deviant, malevolent one when they’re alone. The duality of that is pretty chilling. It’s something that tends to find its way into my writing a lot.

Showtime especially deals with the idea of how the past—through thoughts, experiences, and conflicts—can cause horrors in the present. If people did a better job at communicating with each other in the real world, so much unnecessary conflict and horror could be avoided. Unfortunately, my characters tend not to realize that until it’s too late.

What would be your dream project?

It doesn’t take much! Anytime someone is offering to pay me for something I’ve written, that’s enough for me. But I do think it would be fun to write for TV. I chatted with Dennis Lehane a few years ago when he was part of the writers’ room for the adaptation of Stephen King’s Mr. Mercedes, and it seemed like it’s a grind but an enjoyable process. Gillian Flynn has also done pretty well making the jump from author to screenwriter so it seems like a natural progression.

What writers have influenced your style and technique?

As a kid, I used to hate reading until I found books that interested me. I clearly remember asking the elementary school librarian, “Do you have any Stephen King?” (Spoiler alert: she did not), and have been reading him since, so he has been a large presence in my literary life. He taught me how to create three-dimensional characters and that the best, most interesting ones are often the messiest. People in real life aren’t perfect, so why should your characters be? Perfect is boring…and unattainable. Characters need to act and sound like real people or it’s not going to ring true to the reader. You could have the most ingenious plot but if your readers don't care about the characters involved, it doesn't matter.

Michael Koryta does a killer job writing books with kick-ass characterization and plots that keep you turning the pages. He’s a writer who doesn't waste his words. Each sentence has a clear purpose, the prose is tight, and everything in the book needs to be there, so his writing is a great reminder to write with purpose and start reeling things in if the thread starts rolling away from you.

If you have any former project to do over to make it better, which one would it be, and what would you do?

I wrote my first novel during the summer after college graduation. It's called Dark Chambers and is about a series of disappearances in a small town inspired by my hometown of Dundalk, Maryland. It got some good feedback from agents but the consensus seemed to be that the villain’s involvement and motivation could’ve been stronger. Looking back, I can't disagree. I know what I want to do with it do deepen it and make the reveals and villain more robust, so I'm hoping to revisit it one day.

Where would you rank writing on the "Is it an art or it is a science continuum?" Why?

Writing is as much art as painting or sculpture. It takes time, practice, skill, and you’ve got to put in the work if you want to get anything out of it. There’s plenty of creativity involved in crafting plot, developing characters, and maintaining suspense, but then there’s also the technical side that’s just as important—structuring on a macro and micro level, making sure everything flows, and crispness of prose. If you don’t do it right, the book’s not going to land as well. So I’d say that writing is both art and science—the novel skeleton is the science, and how you fill it out is the art. You can’t have one without the other.

What is the most difficult part of your artistic process?

Sometimes I’ll reach a crucial part in a manuscript where a Big Decision has to be made on my part. For example, is a character going to live or die? How is the rest of the story going to be affected if they die midway through instead of at the end? I can usually see how both would work towards the story, but choosing which path to go down and committing to it can be intimidating since there are dozens of different directions the plot can branch off into with each minute change.

On a macro level, it's always a bit nerve-wracking when embarking on a new project, thinking, “Can I really do this again?” So when you get in the groove and realize that what you’re writing isn’t completely horrible (and that you're actually going to finish it), that's always pleasant.

How do your writer friends help you become a better writer? Or do they not?

Writer friends and acquaintances are great to have because they’re the only people who are really going to understand the writing process—the joy, the frustrations, all of it. I think there’s a common guilty thought among writers that you have to write every day for a certain amount of time to prove to yourself that you deserve to be successful. Every writer works at a different pace, has different goals and different things going on at home. No one is the same. So talking to other writer friends and having that sense of camaraderie and understanding definitely helps to build you up and motivate you and let you off the hook on those days when you’re not feeling particularly productive.

What does literary success look like to you?

I don't think you need to be a New York Times bestseller to be successful. If I’m able to make a living solely from writing, that’s enough for me. On the other hand, when you have a reader who tells you that you made them think or feel something with your words, I'd call that a success for sure.

Any other upcoming projects you would like to plug?

The next book is done and ready to go. It's called Monsters and is absolutely the most horror-centric thing I've written. It's about a first-grade teacher who witnesses the death of her student and is convinced she's being harassed by the dead student's mother... until she starts to see a tall, horned figure in her bedroom. As you can imagine, things go downhill pretty quickly, and Terra starts to question her own sanity as she’s forced to reconcile the horrors she sees while knowing that they can’t possibly be real…or can they?

After that, I've got the next two books planned out so I've got enough work for the next few years to keep me busy!
