While it may have helped me as an author, I’m done with Twitter. Like you, I’ve been watching Twitter come apart at the seams. What Mr. Musk had planned as his end game for his actions is anyone’s guess. While I expected it to be gone soon – with or without Musk at its helm – I’ve left of my own accord. To be honest – I’ve spent very little time on Twitter overall. Between
There’s always a line – and you choose if it intimidates you or not. There are many lines in life for us to find, straddle, and cross. Most are utterly intangible. They’re lines that represent crossing from one idea to another. Some are deeply negative – like making polarizing statements, disenfranchising people, and otherwise causing hurt and/or harm by crossing the line. But others are potentially positive. But they’ll represent some kind of change that
Struggling with identity tends to be a matter of active mindfulness. I wrote my first 50-page, hand-illustrated sci-fi novel when I was 9.

While that’s a lot of words – it’s not unreasonable. Breaking it down, 50,000 words is slightly more than 1,666 words a day. Multiple professional
You won’t fail if you don’t share what you create – but you won’t succeed, either. Sharing your work can be terrifying. It can feel like you’re putting yourself out there to be judged. I write and post blogs 4 days a week. In addition, I do a podcast once a week. Then, because that’s not all, I have a dozen works of fiction published on Amazon – and more coming. Despite all that I
Since this comes up from time to time, I’m sharing advice I offer other writers. On Facebook, I’m in multiple writing groups. No matter what subject or genre, there are a group of questions that come up frequently about pausing, rewriting, editing, story order, writing as a pantser vs planner, and other niggling details relevant to a completed work. And that’s the key. Completed work. I’ve encountered multiple writers along the way who have been
I have even more blogs for you to enjoy. Please visit my original blog website:
I post here twice weekly about my work with Positivity, Mindfulness, and Conscious Reality Creation. I’ve been blogging every week, without fail, since the beginning of 2012.
Mondays – Positivity (and related ideas for making choices and decisions in life).
Wednesdays – Pathwalking (my philosophy for consciously choosing how to live your life mindfully, on your terms).
