something kind of but not completely different

And Now For Something (Kind of, But Not Entirely) Completely Different

September 12, 2023

Something different for me and my writing/publishing game, at least. As I’m sure you’re sick of reading by now – I started writing sci-fi when I was 9 years old. Wildfire is a 50-page, illustrated book you will never read. After Wildfire, I started but didn’t finish a few other projects. Then, at age 13, I typed The Secret Computer World. (This was 1985, people. Typing a story on a computer was a bit of

Let’s De-beta the Beta Reader

September 5, 2023

No debate, that just sounded funny in my head. What is a beta reader? A beta reader is someone who reads an unpublished work specifically to give feedback to the author. They are expected to comment on any plot issues, pacing, continuity, and other storytelling matters. Along the way, they might catch a few errors and typos. The work probably has not been gone over by a professional editor yet. (A beta reader might uncover

How Do I Navigate the Changing Landscape of Writing and Publishing?

August 29, 2023

There’s no right or wrong answer, just lots of options. When I finished my first sci-fi novel – 50 handwritten and illustrated pages – at the age of 9, I tried to get it published. For the creation of a 9-year-old, it wasn’t bad. But neither was it good. As I got older and (I like to think) wiser, I would try to get a much later – and better-polished – book traditionally published. I

Believing in the power of art opens you both to give and receive art

What Can You Do with the Power of Art?

August 22, 2023

Art is both empowering and powerful. The power of art is apparent in many, many forms. Paintings, sculptures, books, architecture, music, acting, dance, fiber works, and so many other places. And within each of these, numerous genres, subgenres, themes, schools, types, variations, and more. Art is the ultimate in human expression. Creations for beauty, thought, emotion, communication, revelation, revolution, and more. We know vast swaths of human history – all around the world – from

I’m Striving to Keep Doing What I Love to Do

August 15, 2023

What I love is a combination of things that all tie to one thing. I love storytelling. Recently, I went to the big medieval event I attend every August with about 10,000+ people. For 9 days or so, I lived in a canvas square pavilion (10×10 feet, 5 poles, the center is about 9 feet tall). I spent time with friends just hanging out and talking, and did a ton of medieval fencing – both

Making Choices to Change My Business Model

August 8, 2023

Altering my path as an authorpreneur When I first began to self-publish, I used CreateSpace. Via this fantastic website, I could format both an eBook (Kindle) and paperback for publication – mostly to Amazon. I started slowly. It began with some of my nonfiction works. This, in time, would be moved to a separate name (I’m published under 2 names – one for fiction and one for nonfiction). But it also led me to start
