Because it's just that simple. I've seen too many articles like this. Stories with titles exactly like or very close to that, who talk about having a spark of inspiration, deciding to leave everything behind and write a book. Inevitably they poke out something that looks like a book, feed it to a few agents, … Continue reading How to Quit Your Job and Make Millions as an Indie Author
Category: Personal
This is a bit of a solemn topic, and it's less direct inspiration and something a little less tangible. I've talked about using other writers as inspiration, and books we love, but as I've pushed to make clear, I believe that inspiration for writing doesn't have to come only from books. I believe a good … Continue reading Inspiration Wednesday – Those Who Go Before
So I've been pretty quiet in the Internet sphere since last Tuesday or so. I haven't been writing. I haven't been editing. I have been working out, but not enough the counteract how much food I've been eating. And you know what? I'm glad of it. You see, I think there's something that many writers … Continue reading Inspiration Wednesday: Rest
I know there are plenty of people out there that likely get this a heck of a lot more than I do, but since this was my first run-in with this kind of behaviour, it really stood out to me. Now, your mileage may vary on this, but I've heard more than enough stories to … Continue reading A Look in the Life: Entitlement
Yup, the time is finally here. The anthology in which my first published work appears is finally out for both paperback and Kindle formats. POWERLESS AGAINST YOU features my short story "Toeing the Line", which follows the unlikely and potentially dangerous of a romance between a supervillain...and a member of law enforcement. (Ooooooh.) I'm very keen … Continue reading Book Launch!
TRIGGER WARNING. I WILL BE TALKING ABOUT DEPRESSION. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT DEPRESSION, YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T READ THIS ONE. I've hit this odd intersection in my writing. See, I've heard a lot about anti-depressants/anti-anxiety meds and whatnot, and that creative sorts (writers, musicians, etc) have had a lot of trouble with them. … Continue reading Writing and Depression
Here comes a significantly more personal post than standard, but I think it's a good topic to touch on, since writers can deal with this in books just as much as they can in person--and most people won't quite get this right unless they've lived it, I think. This is an interesting post for me … Continue reading Friends Never Say Goodbye
I thought I'd give you all a break from the spam of last Thursday, and so I didn't post a new review on Tuesday. I'll be back to my usual routine for next week, however. ...With any luck at all. (Hah, got interrupted by a phone call and now I need to figure out my … Continue reading The Pit
This is a hard blog post to write. In fact, this probably would have gone up on Tuesday if I hadn't already scheduled the review to go live (I do try to keep consistent) but then again...Tuesday was not a day when I was able to do much of anything. Here's what I'm trying to … Continue reading Struggling
So when I was cleaning my room recently, I found a piece of paper with two ideas (I believe for this blog) written down on it. I'm still not sure what I mean by the second one, so I figured I'd give myself a while to work on that and write about this first one … Continue reading Remembering the Inspiration
