The other day I talked about why writing should be fun. But like I said, sadly, sometimes it’s just not fun at all and once writing becomes “work” enjoyment might fall faster than my 403(b) plan did last week. So even though it may not always be fun, one thing writing will always be is […]
Writing is supposed to be fun, no?
So if you ask my wife what I do for fun she’d probably think about it for a little bit, and then say something like “well, he writes and blogs. But I don’t know if he really has any fun doing it.” Maybe I shouldn’t be speaking for the lovely lady, and maybe that isn’t […]
3 Questions to Ask Yourself Before You Set a Goal
So it’s a new month. And, really, it’s a great month. September is one of those where the heat finally starts fading away and the awesomeness of fall starts creeping in, although in this part of the state, we had a pretty nice August with lots of days in the 70s and 80s. Anyhow, I […]
Three things to do (and not to do) at a writing conference
Okay, I’ll confess. I love writing conferences. They are a great way to get away from everything else in the world and go hang out with a group of like-minded people, network, and hopefully pick up a few lessons to help improve your craft. If you haven’t attended a writing conference before, you should really […]
3 Writing Things You Can Do If You Only Have 10 Minutes

Not matter what, I write–or work on something writing related–every day, almost without exception, even if it meant only working on something for ten minutes. Ten minutes to write? That’s it? Sure […]
Small Press or Self-Publish?
It’s crazy to think about how the business of writing fiction has changed in the last five years. With Amazon, Smashwords, Lulu, and a plethora of other online and print options, it’s become much easier for writers of all levels to see their work in print. Now, I’ll admit I was a little slow to […]
Write Every Day (More or Less)
I’m tempted to write another “look at me, I’m so busy” post, but I’ll spare you the pain of having to read that. Instead I want to talk a little about what kind of writing I do on those “look at me” days. No matter how busy (or flat out exhausted) I maybe be, I […]
Declutter Your Writing
We’ve got a pretty small house. And with three young kids, it’s full of stuff. And by that I mean I’d post a picture of our living room floor, but that might give you the impression that I live in a family of hoarders. Fortunately, my wife has taken on the task of decluttering. It’s […]
