If I've been avoiding a particular scene, I recognize it and force my butt in the chair until it's done. Usually I've procrastinated so long that my subconscious has already figured it out. Once I start writing, it usually flows. It is that chasm between myself and getting into the chair in front of the keyboard that is the hardest to overcome in most cases.(less)

The best way to get better is to write a lot of things. They will suck at first, you'll learn what works better, and each project will suck less. Eventually you'll be ready to publish and your work will be well received. Lots of people will tell you insider secrets about the best process but the reality is, you have to figure out what works for you because only you can. In the end, the best way to get published or sell your work is to write a good story. Good stories sell.(less)

Now Available: Creating Hope

I’ve got a short story in this brand new collection from The League of Utah Writers. My story, titled Tenuous Traditions, is one I wrote as a way to process a lot of feelings rooted in the COVID pandemic and which was extremely cathartic to write. I didn’t know if it would ever be published, […]

DNF at 25%. It’s not you, it’s me. I just am not a fantasy fan and it’s hard for a fantasy to grab my attention and hold it. I have so many friends who love this book but it just wasn’t for me.
