5 Reasons to Work on Multiple Projects – The Benefits of Divided Attention

Let me ask you a question - do you work on multiple creative projects at the same time, or do you have a sole focus from start to finish? A friend of mine asked me this question recently, and we realized we're in completely different camps on the matter. I'm definitely in the former. Currently... Continue Reading →

I Need To Do Something Else

Do you ever sit down with the urge and motivation write and then... nothing happens? I'm not talking about writer's block—at least I don't think I am.

So when I came across a cheap paperback copy of it in Oslo airport a... Continue Reading →

Everything Is Going Great – And That Scares Me

It's when you're at your highest that you have the farthest to fall. I'm not good at recognizing wins or celebrating my victories—a fact I've been trying to make myself more aware of over the years, so I can rectify it. In fact, I've written about it here on my blog several times. Losses seem... Continue Reading →
