There is no correct way of writing fiction. (Duh!) If there was, creative writing classes would be a whole lot more concrete. There is no right way, and every way will take practice to get great at it. But here’s the cool thing, the one thing that will always keep me coming back to writing […]

Own Your Writing Career: Avoid Comparisons — They Are Meaningless
It’s funny, I don’t even want to go into this topic, because I’m so over it. Which is great. I was stuck here for a time as an early days indie. But no more! It has been years since I stewed over the progress or success of another writer. I feel much better for the […]
Own Your Writing Career: Always Looking Forward
In my last post I talked about planning, and a little about what works for me. Along with a clear plan, that includes a structured schedule for writing/editing/publication, and goals for six months, one year out, and five years out, as a writer setting out on this journey, you must adapt to a spirit of […]
Own Your Writing Career: Always Planning
My last post was about always learning as a writer and as an author. You’ll find the sources that resonate with you. When you do, listen to their advice. I don’t mean to blindly accept their advice. We’re all individuals — each of us has constraints, each of us has areas of expertise and interest […]
Own Your Writing Career: Always Learning
I did a lot of studying in 2014. When I’m uncomfortable, I tend to study. I eat away at the edges of whatever’s bugging me, until I get it, and I can move the heck on. For much of 2014, I felt behind on indie author trends, behind on success, whatever that means. Behind on […]
Own Your Writing Career: My Writer Path
As I said in my last post in the Own Your Writing Career series, each writer has their own path. We all have different lives and commitments and goals … there is no single path to writing prosperity. Especially in this brightest of times for writers. There is no one path. Don’t waste too much […]
Own Your Writing Career (Don’t Let It Own You)
Writers, if you need a little lifting up, to know you’re not alone, or just to feel more in control of your writing life, this is the blog series for you. I’m a very small fry in the independent publishing river. I published my first book in August 2011 (and lurked for ages before that), […]
Sunday Update: Chaos Calling Released Yesterday!
My first goal for the spring was to publish the second novel in my Foulweather Twins fantasy series. DONE! Chaos Calling is out now. One more book to go in the series. I’ve also thought of a possible spin-off series, but I’m not committed to it at this point. Fun choices for a writer — […]
Round of Words Goals Post — Summer 2013
I’ve been participating in the Round of Words in 80 Days writing challenge for two full years now. A couple of weeks back I was considering taking the summer off of ROW, but I couldn’t quite get to that decision. As I thought it through, I realized I’d be a lot less productive if I […]
