In an attempt to go through a ton of my old writing, in what I'm calling my Year Of A Thousand Projects, I'm trying very hard to not write anything new. Sure, there's an odd short story here and there, when I feel the itch in my typing fingers become too much after seeing a... Continue Reading →
The Year Of A Thousand Projects
Ugh, I've been so busy I almost forgot April's first blog post! I said it earlier this year - here - that in 2024 I would focus on going through a lot of old stuff. Things I've written ages ago that I've left to simmer for so long now that I've almost forgotten about them... Continue Reading →
I Wrote Another Book – Now What?
Okay, so you've written and a book. You're sitting there with a manuscript in your hands and you're finally thinking, this is done now! That's like, the most demanding, most draining hard work you've ever done, probably, and now you're finished! Congratulations.

Self vs Indie Publishing – What To Do With Your Book
Okay, so you've written a book. Now what? Do you send it to a big publishing house? Mail it to your favorite author? Nail it to a frisbee and fling it over a rainbow?

Where’s The Time Gone?
Somehow January lasted for eight years, but also passed by in a split second. Weird how that happens, right? Last post I did I wrote about I finally felt like I was back in my groove, making a plan for 2024 and figuring out what I'm going to focus on, but now here I am... Continue Reading →
Here’s What’s Happening This Year
I'm excited. I'm finally excited. Writing has taken a back seat for a while. Since early last fall, I kind of stuck myself in a rut. I wrote some short stories that I submitted (and waited patiently to hear back about), and I read through and polished some things that I'd written before, but I... Continue Reading →
Thank You For 2023!
Whoa - that year went by fast, didn't it? I have so much to be grateful for, and so many people I would like to thank for what has happened in the last 12 months. I wish I could reach out to all of you individually, but I imagine 2024 would be gone as well... Continue Reading →

One Great Reason You Should Read Books On Your Phone
If you're anything like me, you probably have a phone. Of course you do. Everyone does. But if you're like me, it's probably a smart phone. A little rectangular brick of plastic and electronics that has access to almost all the information in the world and can beam it straight into your face with the... Continue Reading →
Writing A Book In Two Weeks – Looking At It Two Years Later
Two and a half years ago - because the world was closed down and I had nowhere to go - I sat down to write a book. Two weeks later, I had a finished draft. Since then, I haven't even looked at that draft, not even once. Not until now, when I suddenly found myself... Continue Reading →
