    Autumn Dawns #amwriting

    September 16, 2018 / No Comments

    It’s that time of year again where I move all my sweaters to the front of the closet and I start wearing socks again. I find something about the crisp nip of colder weather invigorating both mentally and physically after a long, wilting summer. Nothing sounds more welcoming than leaves (and snow) falling outside while I’m hiding in my writing…

    Day Eleven: The “DO” in #DoMagick

    April 11, 2018 / No Comments

    I decided this morning, after sleeping on yesterday’s thoughts, that there is no time like the present to make changes. That’s what I meditated on during this morning’s meditation. Today is a “day job” day, so I won’t be getting anything meaningful done, and I might try to do some grunt work tomorrow. As of May, I will have 2…

    For Writers: How to Keep Reading While Writing

    November 12, 2016 / No Comments

    ::Yes, two reading posts one after the other. I’ve really been focused on reading this year.:: At twenty-three, fresh out of college and trying to make a go of my writing career, I was burnt out on reading. After all, when you’re an English major, despite the creative writing emphasis, you tend to take a lot of literature classes. I…

    Creative Vision vs. Skill

    July 3, 2016 / No Comments

    There’s nothing like reading to make you realize a few things. What’s good is subjective to individual readers. This means that you are simultaneously a creative genius and master of prose, and a complete hack who has no business being published. (i.e. some readers will hate you, some will love you) While the mechanics of writing can be learned, passion…

    The Writing Life #amwriting

    July 3, 2016 / No Comments

    During a conversation with a young author earlier this week, I was asked if I still get that “butterflies in the stomach” feeling with each book. You mean that apprehension and anxiety that happens just after a book’s release as I wait for reviewers and readers to praise or slam it?  Yes. I’ll admit to that. I prefer to label it “anxiety” as…

    Troll-Baiting: Critics, Haters, and Death Threats

    April 11, 2016 / No Comments

    Being a public person isn’t always easy. From pretending everything is great all the time, to watching everything you say lest you be attacked for your alleged political agenda, sometimes you just can’t win in the eyes of public opinion. Especially when it comes to critics and haters, and even trolls. A few weeks back my friend and assistant Frank,…

    While It’s Sometimes a Scam – Sometimes It’s Not

    March 11, 2016 / 7 Comments

    It’s been a few weeks since Brent Underwood’s article What Does it Take to Be an Amazon Bestselling Author?  $3 and 5 Minutes went viral through the writing community. First I want to say that Mr. Underwood makes some fantastic points. There are most certainly people out there who game the system or charge authors ridiculous amounts to game the…

    Writing Schedule #RMFW #amwriting #accountability

    March 5, 2016 / No Comments

    Inspired by Ms. Management in the RMFW Newsletter, and author Lisa Manifold, fearless newsletter editor and IPAL chairperson, I decided to play along and post my writing schedule. Last year I began writing down my schedule daily whether it be for the day job or writing job because I found I was forgetting too much, and keeping a schedule kept me on…

    Productivity For Writers – A Few Changes That Can Increase Your Productivity

    November 12, 2015 / No Comments

    As I contemplate and research a writer productivity and scheduling workshop I’m hoping to teach next year at the RMFW conference (maybe even as a YouTube video if they decide they aren’t interested in my proposal) I wanted to share a few things I’ve found helpful to boost my productivity, and I want to share a powerful quote from another…
