Struggling with identity tends to be a matter of active mindfulness.

Does it Sometimes Feel Like Your Identity as a Creator is a Struggle?

November 8, 2022

Struggling with identity tends to be a matter of active mindfulness. I wrote my first 50-page, hand-illustrated sci-fi novel when I was 9. The next was 36-pages, typed single-spaced, when I was 13 or so. After that, I wrote on and off, in fits and spurts. But writing was always the focal point of my identity as a creator. Then, in 2012, I began to blog once a week. Fits and spurts of writing became

Are You Ready for November and The Start of Another NaNoWriMo?

November 1, 2022

Are You Ready for November and The Start of Another NaNoWriMo? NaNoWriMo – National Novel Writer’s Month – has begun again. In 2004 or 2005, I was introduced to National Novel Writer’s Month – NaNoWriMo. Every November, NaNoWriMo is a challenge to reach 50,000 words of writing in 30 days. While that’s a lot of words – it’s not unreasonable. Breaking it down, 50,000 words is slightly more than 1,666 words a day. Multiple professional

If You Don’t Do It, You Won’t Fail – But Neither Will You Succeed

October 25, 2022

You won’t fail if you don’t share what you create – but you won’t succeed, either. Sharing your work can be terrifying. It can feel like you’re putting yourself out there to be judged. I write and post blogs 4 days a week. In addition, I do a podcast once a week. Then, because that’s not all, I have a dozen works of fiction published on Amazon – and more coming. Despite all that I

I’m sharing advice I offer other writers - just keep writing

What’s The Best Advice I Can Offer Other Writers?

October 18, 2022

Since this comes up from time to time, I’m sharing advice I offer other writers. On Facebook, I’m in multiple writing groups. No matter what subject or genre, there are a group of questions that come up frequently about pausing, rewriting, editing, story order, writing as a pantser vs planner, and other niggling details relevant to a completed work. And that’s the key. Completed work. I’ve encountered multiple writers along the way who have been

more books and more exposure - writing practice - the business of writing - maintaining momentum - who reads - taking a risk

How Is Publishing More Books the Path to More Exposure?

October 11, 2022

As a writer, writing more books is what I do. With more books comes more exposure. As part of my newfound self-advocacy, I’m going to share where I am, where I’ve been, and where I’m going with my writing career. Where have I been? I often share that I started to write sci-fi when I was just 9 years old (1981). By then, I had seen Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, and Buck Rogers – so

How Do I Pick Up Where I Left Off Years Ago?

October 4, 2022

It’ll be an interesting challenge for me to pick up where I left off. I began writing my Source Chronicles fantasy series in 1998. It began with a scene out of classic epic fantasy: A lone sorcerer in flowing robes, staff raised, throwing his power around. It wasn’t long before there were more scenes, more characters, and a story that itself would evolve numerous times. In the early 2000s, I hired my first editor. She
