The Business of Writing Only Begins with Writing

February 14, 2023

In the business of writing, writing – in many respects – is surprisingly the easiest part. As a child, I discovered that writing fiction – sci-fi and fantasy – brought me joy. I’ve always had an active (overactive, maybe) imagination. Channeling my imagination from playing pretend – imagining my swing set as a starfighter, creating Star Wars adventures with my action figures, building LEGO spaceships, and otherwise – into writing provided for a productive creative

Getting paid what you’re worth to do your art isn’t easy.

Are You Getting Paid What You Are Worth for Your Art?

February 7, 2023

Author, painter, sculptor, or any other form of artist – do you get paid what you’re worth? This question is not just for artists. Frankly, it applies to more or less everyone. In America in particular, businesses are more likely to pay as little as necessary for workers. With a few exceptions, of course, many companies out there pay less than what a good employee is worth, offer few to no benefits, and care far

Are You Looking to Find and/or Make More Time to Read?

January 31, 2023

After numerous false starts, I found and made more time to read – and that’s been amazing. As a child, I loved to read. I think it was all the reading that I did as a kid that led me to become a writer. Ideas like – hey, I can do that, too – made me desire to write my own stories. When I was 9, I wrote my first 50-page, illustrated sci-fi novel. Wildfire,

Why Keep Writing if Nobody Appears to be Reading?

January 24, 2023

Doesn’t matter who’s reading so much as the need to keep writing must be satisfied. Why do I write? The short answer is that I’m compelled to write. For me, it’s like breathing – it’s something I do. Maneuvering words into sentences, paragraphs, and pages – whether fiction, nonfiction, or business – is my skill. This is my chosen vocation in life. There are many other skills I possess – or at least like to

If you write art or otherwise make art, can you see how artist as identity empowers you?

Is What I Write Art – And is That Important?

January 17, 2023

Maybe I do write are, and maybe not. Why that matters is personal. The arts are highly subjective. Whatever the medium, the arts will awaken and excite some, frighten and disgust others, while simultaneously having zero impact on still others. It really does depend on you, your tastes, your environment, and more. I recently read an article lamenting how Hollywood barely gives a shit about a classic, well-written film over a comic-book movie. It also

Sustainable income is the right of everyone

Can I Create a Sustainable Income Via My Writing Work?

January 10, 2023

If others have created sustainable income via writing, I can, too. There are three utterly different styles of writing I employ regularly. This is the first because it’s the most frequent. Blogging. I write and post a minimum of 4 blogs a week. Each of these are topical – positivity and related on Mondays; writing, arts, business, and creativity related on Tuesdays; Pathwalking and conscious reality creation/mindfulness related on Wednesdays; and health/wellness/wellbeing and related on
