The Editing Process (And Recording) After the Editor

The Editing Process (And Recording) After the Editor Allow me to share how I go about this. Photo by Simon Abrams on Unsplash One of the dangers I warn writers and would-be writers about is editing. Yes, editing is SUPER important. Not editing means your work is unpolished, and all kinds of crazy things go out to the world: typos, misspellings, half-written thoughts, improper names, and more. As a writer, it’s important to edit your

Please Buy My Books

July 14, 2026

Please Buy My Books I don’t like asking, but neither does it hurt. Photo by Clay Banks on Unsplash Probably the thing I most dislike about being an authorpreneur is the selling. Not so much the marketing, as the notion of holding my hat in hand and reaching out my cup and saying (in my best British accent), “Please, good person, for just a few shillings, won’t you buy my books?” There is something deeply

Circles around words "And so I chose to Begin Again". Sometimes you pivot, sometimes you start anew

Sometimes You Pivot, Sometimes You Start Anew

Sometimes You Pivot, Sometimes You Start Anew Writing projects sometimes don’t go as planned. Photo by Jon Tyson on Unsplash Last week I began writing a blog entry. It was slow going, and the idea was percolating in my head but not fully brewing. Still, I stabbed at it, got a few paragraphs written. Then it was time for fencing practice, so I stepped away and planned to continue it the next morning. When I

Inspiration Can Come From Anywhere

June 16, 2026

Inspiration Can Come From Anywhere You never know what will inspire you and your creativity. I see more than a stump and fungi; I see cities on a cliff. Photo by MJ Blehart. Artists of every kind tend to talk about inspiration. This, that, or the other thing inspired us to create our work. Sometimes it’s something big, like a life-changing occurrence or a new relationship. Sometimes it’s small, like a random compliment or something
