In a recent post, I suggested you should write every day. And it’s advice I’ve been taking myself for the last few years. 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 […]

Keeping busy chasing the dream
Dreams are what keep us alive. Once you stop dreaming–once you no longer have anything to shoot for–you stop living. Anyone reading this blog knows that my goal (my “dream”, if you will) is to make it as a professional writer. Anyhow, in a recent post I talked about my writing goals for the rest […]
