Strategy and Tactics and the Arts

May 8, 2021

Strategy and tactics are surprisingly important to the arts. Many people look at arts and artists and form an immediate judgment. Weak. Unattached. Odd. Rebellious. Unique. Hippy. Soft. And similar notions of the non-warrior. Let me just set the record straight. This is not the truth. Artists ARE warriors. Maybe not in the traditional sense of strapping on armor, taking up swords and guns, or the like. But we still gird our loins to do

Imagination Builds Knowledge

May 4, 2021

Creatives use imagination to expand the knowledge of the world. I have not been to Disney World and Epcot Center in over 30 years. But the two times I want prior to that, I loved the Journey into Imagination ride. At its heart what a lovable purple dragon named Figment (as in a figment of your imagination). I adored this ride and have not experienced it since it was revamped twice. But the notion tapped

Create – Revise – Repeat

May 1, 2021

The writer’s equivalent of rinse and repeat. Create – Revise – Repeat. When I was 9 years old, I had an idea. A sci-fi story came into my head.

Then I have multiple worlds, a variety of aliens and humans

Self-Publishing and Marketing

April 24, 2021

An ongoing challenge with self-publishing is marketing. I decided, after a large number of rejections over some 10 years from both agents and publishing houses, to self-publish. Yes, I questioned if maybe I just was not as good a writer as I thought I might be. However, after much analysis, I concluded it was less my writing and more my chosen genres. As mainstream as they are in some respect, sci-fi and fantasy are niche

Writing Fiction is an Act of Mindfulness

April 20, 2021

Nontraditional mindfulness, but still mindful. What IS mindfulness? It is conscious awareness of your inner mindset/headspace/psyche self. It’s reached via conscious awareness of your sensory input and thoughts, feelings, actions, and intentions. That awareness on the surface – and then the immediate sense of self – puts you in touch with your subconscious mind. It is in your subconscious mind where your beliefs, values, and habits lie. What has this got to do with writing
