I have to admit that it’s sometimes hard to stay motivated. There are months where I feel like I’ve kept up on all of my writing goals, achieved a handful of minor successes, and even improved as a writer. But then there are also months where I feel like I’m a “writer” in the same […]
Five Links Friday 8/24/17
And it’s Friday night again, because why have a regular weekly feature planned out and scheduled to post first thing in the morning, right 🙂 1. Let’s start with an older (but still awesome) post on Tips on Effectively Conveying Character Emotion by Becca Puglisi at Self Publishing Advice. 2. Now let’s change direction to […]
When to let a project die (or at least take an extended vacation from it)
Ok, so we’ve all got those projects that give us trouble. Take me, for example. I have a novel I finished in the 2012 NaNoWriMo, that I’ve been “working on” ever since. I just can’t seem to get it right. I even pitched it at last year’s RMFW conference, knowing full well that it just […]
If you’re thinking about quitting…
A user on one of the online writing groups I frequent posed an interesting question. She asked “When you do quit?” The question came after she did a signing where no one came, and she was just feeling like this writing game was no longer worth it. I responded a little more personally on the […]
Five Links Friday 8/18/17
It’s the end of a crazy, emotional, and yet awesome week, as 4yo started preschool, and 6yo started kindergarten. Both kids are still in one piece and neither one of them cried, so thank God for that. (I, however, will have to plead the fifth on the crying part.) So now, onward to Five Links […]
Exercise (and how it changed my life)
I thought I’d take a break from blogging about the usual stuff and instead post about something else that’s really important to me: exercise. It’s kind of funny because one thing everyone always told me was that once you have kids, it becomes very difficult to maintain a regular exercise routine. To which I replied: […]
Prioritize stuff and keep your head above the water
Oh my. Sometimes that about all you can say. It’s the time of year where my wife (a teacher in her day job) goes back to work and things start picking up at the day job as the college kids start coming back to the university (where I work at my day job.) Our oldest […]
Five Links Friday 8/11/17
Well, we were out of town Wednesday and everybody in the house, including myself, came down with a yucky cold and sore throat, so…yuck. But at least we’re alive, and everything is back in business. So here we are with another Five Links Friday. Enjoy! 1. Here’s a great resource for small press and self-published […]
