Making Changes to the Workspace to Help Clear the Mindspace

January 2, 2024

It never ceases to amaze me how interconnected everything is. Empirical evidence has shown me that certain changes to my physical body impact my mental, emotional, and spiritual health, too. Losing weight, increasing muscle mass, and improving cardio-vascular fitness leads to finding calm, balance, and contentment more easily. Eating healthier helps me feel clearer and better connected to my inner being. Every time I’ve taken such steps, though the initial action might be blah, the

What Do I Need to Do to Gain More Success?

December 26, 2023

The starting point is defining success. I began writing fiction full-time in 2020, as the pandemic shifted other elements of my world. While before then I’d been doing regular writing, making it my full-time vocation had not quite been achieved. Because I made this shift, I’ve completed and self-published 10 books since 2020. One is a 4-book clone and conspiracy sci-fi series (Forgotten Fodder), one is a 5-book alien interloper sci-fi/sci-fantasy series (Void Incursion), and

My Personal Creative Process Info Dump

December 19, 2023

I’m sharing many thoughts on many topics. Perhaps, with this being the end of the year, I’m feeling introspective. Or maybe there’s just been a lot happening and I’m working to make sense of it. Either way, I’m going to reflect on a lot of different things here. For me, 2023 has been a crazy year. There have been a lot of ups and downs. Much of the crazy is not mine but has been

How Do I Reconcile the Creative Process with My Brand?

December 12, 2023

Being an indie-author requires being a brand and business, too. Not so long ago, the only way to publish a book and make money was via traditional publishing. To get there, the main path was to get a literary agent, who would then get you past the gatekeepers and through the doors to the publishers. Anyone who has tried to get an agent has likely received multiple rejections. Sometimes, now just two or three, but

When Is It Time to Abandon a Project?

December 5, 2023

My writing is always evolving, and change is always occurring. I started my Source Chronicles fantasy series in 1998. As of this writing, that’s 25 years ago. While I began the series then, it remains unfinished. Yes, Book 3 – Harbinger – is ready to go to the editor. In fact, it has been for over a year. However, it’s a long book (like most fantasy tends to be) and will not be cheap to

Does a Wide World Call for Wide Distribution?

November 28, 2023

I can’t see why not. But what does that mean? Once upon a time, stunningly not so long ago, there were exactly 2 ways to publish a book. You could do it via a major publishing house or vanity press for self-publishing. The former came with marketing and distribution. The latter didn’t. The latter also tended to be pricey. Then, eBooks came into being, and a new option came with them. Genuine self-publishing with the
