There’s never just one reason. Please step into the Wayback machine with me. It’s the end of 2011, and I am a writer who rarely writes. Yes, I have a couple of finished books, but I’ve published nothing. From time to time, I write. But then, it’s random, scattered, and has no pattern or regularity to it. As New Year’s Eve 2011/2012 approached, I created my first New Year’s Action. Not a flimsy, intangible resolution,
Only via action can the idea become a reality. A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, a movie cracked open my imagination like an egg. With that, the huge window in my living room became the viewport out the helm of my starship, my favorite swing on the swingset a starfighter, and I ran around with toy laser pistols pew-pewing at make-believe aliens, monsters, and the like.

Unless you live under a rock, in a cave somewhere, or are otherwise utterly disconnected from the world (and since you’re reading this, I know that you’re not) you’re aware of how chaotic it all is.

The home I lived in when I was 4 had a huge window at the front

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
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
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).
