Today, I’d like to talk about Blogging and Writing. More specifically, Blogging while Writing. Blogging instead of Writing. It’s becoming more and more necessary for you – a Creative… (Sidebar: I think this applies to any creative endeavor, but since this is focused on Writing, I’ll stick with that) – to have some kind of …
I haven’t written in a week. A good part of that has to do with the state of *waves hands at the world* everything. More times than I like ot admint, I find myself mindlessly (or semi-mindlessly) doomscrolling (which is an awesome word for it) through twitter, bouncing from one garbage fire to another. It …
Happy Sunday Everyone! OK it is starting to become apparent that if I don’t actively keep up on what is going on from day-to-day, I will quickly lose track of time to the point where even remembering the day take more effort than it used to. I get that things aren’t exactly back to normal …
I wanted to take a moment to interrupt the flow of the blog for a second. First, before I do and do that, I want to say that I hope you’re all safe and well out there and you’re all doing the best you can. And I realize that’s not going to mean the same …

This year while, empirically, no different than any other, feels particularly significant. For starters, 2020 is an election year. I don’t normally get …
Coming into this weekend, the last one of November, I thought I’d covered all of the aspects of my career plan. If you’re interested in reading the series, you can find them here: Part 1: Not as easy as it looks. Part 2: Next Steps. Part 3: Tooting your own horn. This afternoon, the day …
I need a plan. I suspect that you probably need one too. For the longest time, I’d been so focused on writing stories that – to my embarrassment – I’d neglected to do any long-term thinking about what comes next. To date, the majority of my goals concerning my authorial career can be summed up …
This is going to be a short one today. I’m just coming off the emotional roller-coaster of Wales beating France to move forward into the 2019 World Cup Semi-Finals – BY ONE POINT!!! And they only did manage to take the lead within the final six or so minutes of the match. That was a …
