Do you write from your head, your heart, your soul – or a combination of the three? I know that for some, writing is a chore and a challenge. Finding and/or creating words is not something the comes easily for everybody. But if you are a writer, do you know where the words you write…
And that is okay. Welcome to the post-pandemic world. There are numerous reasons why you may be unable to art. There are a lot of people, writers, painters, cooks, and other artists, who have been wildly productive during the COVID-19 pandemic. Some people have been capable of getting tons of work done, and really making…
You have the choice of whether your words inspire and build or dishearten and destroy. Words are powerful. Your words matter. The words you choose can be creative and help inspire and build great things – or they can be unproductive and dishearten and destroy. People have changed the world with words. However, even with…
The best way to get started with writing is to write. A lot of the things I write are crap. Garbage. Lousy, silly, barely literate words and phrases. Half-baked ideas, notions, thoughts, and so on. I have, in my collection, about a dozen stories I started – and never finished. Some got a good way…

Everyone has their own approach to the artistic process. But more than that, everyone is unique and so, too, is the way they do things. My way is not the same as your way. That’s probably one of the most simple and true facts of life in general. How I do things is not at…
Remember that it is important not to take them personally. With the publication of my new sci-fi book, I did something I have never done before. I hired someone to help me promote my work to a large number of reviewers. Reviews help to raise your visibility on Amazon – so more reviews are more…
Creatives who intend to make a living off their work need to consider developing and adjusting their approach – especially now. The world we live in has changed. It was sudden and unexpected – but the end result of the pandemic is that the world is not what it was. Nor can it return to…
More important question – does that matter? As a writer I cover a lot of different topics. For my freelance work, I do a lot of content stuff that is aimed at a VERY specific, professional audience.
