It’s all about doing the work. A little over a month ago, I completed the work on a new novel. Jay and Char Save the Galaxy is a bit of a departure from my usual. It’s sci-fi comedy with a healthy dollop of absurdity. I’m working on going over edits for the Savespace trilogy. Book one is nearly done (and the audiobook recorded), and book 2 goes out to the editor this week. I’m working
Welcome to the business side of the arts. I’ve been putting more and more effort into being a full-time author. On the one hand, this means more writing. That’s amazing. I love being able to write more, and that’s where my joy lies. On the other hand, however, other business-related elements can’t be ignored.

I thought, as a kid, creating my own sci-fi story and putting words and images to the page was the coolest thing ever. A few years later, at age 13, I completed a typed story. This was a first for me. It was 36
What do you do when you can’t find the words? This seems to be an issue not just with my writing of late, but beyond. Yet let’s look at the writing aspect. Recently, I completed a new sci-fi comedy called Jay and Char Save the Galaxy. This will be edited down the line, and I’m aiming to publish it in 2025. Meanwhile, having finished my Savagespace epic sci-fi series, I’m now working on going over
Creativity in every form empowers. The truth is that not everyone is an artist. Some people don’t have the spark or find joy in painting, writing, sculpting, acting, singing, woodworking, or any other creative endeavor you can imagine. That doesn’t mean, however, that non-artists aren’t creatives. The truth is that everyone is a creative. Some forms of creativity and making are so mundane, overlooked, or taken for granted that people are denied or deny themselves
I have even more blogs for you to enjoy. Please visit my original blog website:
I post here twice weekly about my work with Positivity, Mindfulness, and Conscious Reality Creation. I’ve been blogging every week, without fail, since the beginning of 2012.
Mondays – Positivity (and related ideas for making choices and decisions in life).
Wednesdays – Pathwalking (my philosophy for consciously choosing how to live your life mindfully, on your terms).
