The Beauty of World-Building

July 6, 2021

You have tons of options when world-building – both as a pantser and as a planner. My primary love in writing is sci-fi and fantasy. With that comes a need for world-building. This can take any number of forms – and can be incredible on lots of different levels. And of course, my tagline is writer/editor/voice artist/world-builder. There is tremendous power in building worlds. In many respects, you are creating life and playing god when

Creativity is Always Active

July 3, 2021

But sometimes the flow of creativity varies Despite my newfound love of being a planner – and plotting the newest fiction novels I’m working on – I am still a pantser at heart. What that means is, from time to time, is that I still enjoy sitting at my keyboard and writing by the seat of my pants. This has become largely applicable to my nonfiction. Sometimes I have an idea for the topic –

Between Here and There

June 29, 2021

I find the space between here and there frequently disconcerting. I chose to pursue my art. Thus, I am writing full-time and recording/editing the audiobooks of one of my sci-fi series. This has been my dream for a long, long time now. After various fits and starts to make this happen, I am finally moving at full speed ahead to write and publish multiple books. Thus far, I’ve published three books in 2021. Three more

Deconstructing a Metaphor: Different Boats – Same Storm

June 26, 2021

Artists tend to ride the same storm in different boats – but the metaphor has merit. Artist is a broad term. It covers a wide range of creative endeavors. Writers, painters, sculptors, singers, actors, knitters, and on and on. Lots and lots of creative professionals are artists. Ironically, professional artist is a career often look upon as “unusual.” It’s not a normal way to be. Artists don’t tend to work for a specific “boss” in

I Am Not Nobody

June 22, 2021

Just because I am not a known quantity – I am not nobody. There are a lot of well-known authors out there. Many write in the same genres that I do. George RR Martin. Neil Gaiman. Andy Weir. Arthur C. Clark. Isaac Asimov. I’m sure you’ve heard of one if not all of them. For every well-known author, there are dozens of lesser-known and unknown authors. Some have a specific appeal, others just haven’t gotten

Finding and Forming Communities

June 19, 2021

Communities are important for people who live inside their heads. Many artists – particularly writers, painters, sculptors, woodworkers, and the like – mostly work solo. What we do is inside of our heads – and the product of that are the articles, books, paintings, statuary, and various other creations we produce. When you largely work on your own, it’s easy to get lonely and feel like nobody understands you. Let’s face it – everyone is
