Never Neglect Your Workspace

June 15, 2021

Workspace maintenance is important. I have yet to meet an artist who doesn’t have at least some clutter in their workspace. Some of them are necessary tools. Cooks have pots, pans, and utensils lying around; artists have scattered brushes, paints, solvents, and canvases; writers have notes, inspirational baubles, and the like around their desks. Sure, there are exceptions to this. But I know, at least in my experience, when I am super-focused on my work,

Artist is Risky Business

June 12, 2021

Choosing to be a professional artist has some unique challenges. All my career choices have been artistic. In one form or another, I was bound to be a professional artist. I am in no way bragging here – but I have a few different artistic talents and skills. It started with writing. At age 9, I wrote my first complete sci-fi book. It was 50 pages and illustrated. Next came music. I love to sing.

The Pace You Set is the Right Pace

June 8, 2021

The speed you do your work at is the pace that’s right for you. For a long time, apart from regular blogs, my writing pace was nigh on glacial. Granted, there were fits of intense writing where I went multiple days at a time creating my work. But then they’d be followed by days, weeks, even months of no fiction writing at all. At the time, apart from my blogs, I was a hobbyist writer.

Breaking Down Sci-fi and Sci-fantasy

June 5, 2021

Sci-fi and sci-fantasy share many things – but differ in key ways. At nearly 5 years old, in May of 1977, my parents took me to see a movie that would shape my life in a lot of different ways. The opening theme boomed, the famous text crawl scrolled up, and then a ship came flying in – blasting away at a bigger ship in pursuit. I am, by no stretch of the imagination, the

Don’t Beat Yourself Up for Not Working

June 1, 2021

Our mindset, when it comes to working, is terribly skewed. I set a goal for myself to write a minimum of one blog post/article and 1500 words of fiction a day, six days a week. Because of a strict, self-imposed deadline – and, frankly, endless topics to choose from – I never miss the blog. Since I tend to allow myself a day off on the weekend, my Monday blog is written either Saturday or

Don’t Fear Sharing Your Imagination

May 29, 2021

Never fear – but embrace your imagination. Even the most fictional notion of the imagination can change the world. All the modern technology that we take for granted was not-so-long-ago naught but the product of someone’s imagination. And I mean all the tech – because for about 500 years the progress of humankind was relatively slow. I’m not saying there was no progress – because there was. But it was slow. Part of that was
