It Shines More

Let me take you back in time. The year is somewhere around 1986. I’m in High School and having a rough time of it. Aside from my loose bundle of friends, I often found solace and escape in books and comics. About this time, I saw “My Favorite Year” for the first time. To this …

Keep Doing It

It’s been an interesting month. I’m using that word in the context of four weeks having gone by, and I’m going to call what’s been going on “New Author Jitters” though I expect that the “New” part is going to be a misnomer on my part. Let me set the stage for you: Earlier this …

You only do this once a week. There are people out there that do this sort of thing every day. That’s it. It’s starting to …

Getting Real…Really

This week, I’d like to take a look at an idea that has been floating around the writing community lately…And kick it really hard in the soft bits. This idea has a tendency to come and go at intervals and, this time, it came along as a click-baity article, the gist of which was: “If …
