Member Spotlight: Randy Ross

author Randy Ross and his book The Squid and the Spaceman

Why is writing important to you and why do you think it’s an important medium for the world? Keeps me young!

What are your tried and tested remedies to cure writer’s block? Take a short break and do something related — I’m also a performer/storyteller. Understand that I’m in a slump, will be writing crap for a while, and that’s ok. Do the best I can and turn what I’ve got in to a trusted reader for comments.

What is your favorite time to write? Evenings — 8-11pm

What’s the best piece of writing advice you’ve ever received and would like to impart to other writers? Butt in the seat: writing is like exercise, the more you show up, the more you’ll produce.

What excites you most about being a writer in today’s age? I write black humor and derive great pleasure in horrifying super-sensitive types!

Randy Ross’s The Squid and the Spaceman is out now with Epsilon Books.
