Create Stuff or Make Money? Why Not Both?

May 21, 2024

This is an age-old conundrum. There is a long-standing, age-old belief in the world that being a professional artist of any sort doesn’t pay. Right alongside this idea is the notion of the “starving artist”. Many people will tell you how impossible it is to make money writing, painting, cooking, acting, singing, and so on. Pick an art and you’ll pick a way to earn little to nothing, they’ll insinuate or state outright. Lots of

Returning to The Flow Requires Action

May 14, 2024

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

Entrepreneur, Solopreneur, Authorpreneur – Differences and Similarities

May 7, 2024

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. This is more true for indie authors than those traditionally published, but similarities remain. After the writing is complete, you need

Can The Arts Be Used to Combat the Craziness of The World?

April 30, 2024

Of course. The pen is mightier than the sword, after all. The world is a crazy place. Spend any time on social media, watching or reading any news outlet, or doing anything anywhere and you’ll be inundated. There’s no end to the number of things happening in the world at large that suck. It can feel hopeless. When everywhere that you turn you’re being overwhelmed with negativity, that can make you feel weighed down, distressed,

Don’t Fear New Options for Creativity

April 23, 2024

There are always new tools available for making art. When I began writing at age 9, it was all by hand. My first sci-fi book is 50 pages, handwritten and illustrated. 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 I Do When the Words Won’t Come?

April 16, 2024

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
