Woman at a computer. Writing, Resistance, and The Hard Part of the Easy Part

Writing, Resistance, and The Hard Part of the Easy Part

Authorpreneurship comes with its share of challenges. As an indie-author, I’m not just a writer. I’m also the publisher, organizer, business manager, marketing department, and all-around entrepreneur. Most indie-authors evolve to become an authorpreneur when they wear all the necessary hats of self-publishing. I’ve written before about how arranging cover art, getting an editor, doing layout, marketing, and the rest of the steps tend to be the hardest part of this. Writing, I say, is

An artist at work. The world needs your art now more than ever.

The World Needs Your Art Now More Than Ever

Creativity is one of the best counters to all the craziness. I could go on a long diatribe about the state of world affairs. There are so many things happening today that are infuriating, terrifying, nonsensical, unbelievable, and just totally fucked up. While it’s important to be aware of them so that you know what to boycott, how to vote, when and where to protest, and so on – it’s far too easy to be

How To Succeed in the Art Business

There are multiple ways to write your book. When it comes to the art of writing a book, there is no One True Way™ to do it. There are nearly as many ways to write as there are genres to write in and topics to write about. You, as the artist, get to choose your own adventure. What do you like to read? What do you desire to write? Do you have the mental, emotional,

You Grow and Change or Shrink and Stagnate

This applies to your art, too. Change is the one and only constant in the Universe. It cannot be denied, avoided, ignored, or stopped. It can, will, and does happen. Whether glacially slow or lightning fast, change is inevitable. People fear change. This is what causes ideas and practices of fundamentalism and reactionaryism to grow and thrive. Fear of change and nostalgia for what was – often with a lot of bias and attached Pollyanaism

A dart in the bullseye. Success is how YOU define it.

Success is How YOU Define It

Success – like beauty and perfection – is in the eye of the beholder. As an authorpreneur, I am not just a writer and publisher of books. Like it or not, I’m a business. One of the things I’m putting renewed focus on this year is how I define success. Over the years, that definition has changed. As a kid, desiring to get traditionally published, success was seeing my books in the bookstore. As I
