Speaking of readers, the last most important first step for an aspiring writer is to very clearly define who you're writing for. If you can nail that down, then you can begin to focus on writing the type of story they want to buy and read. There is so much opportunity out there for people who love to tell great stories. It is hard work - go into it eyes wide open about that and when you get discouraged, lean on your fellow writers.(less)

That horrified me and inspired me to get back to the keyboard and finish the story. Perhaps I could help foresee what was coming in the twenty years to come and help us avoid some of the worst possible scenarios through a powerful story.(less)

What Is a Constitutional Crisis? How to Tell a Real One From a Bad News Cycle

What is a constitutional crisis? It is not simply a bad week in Washington. A constitutional crisis is a moment when the Constitution’s rules run out, contradict each other, or are openly defied — and no institution has both the clear authority and the practical power to settle the question. Ordinary scandals, ugly elections, and bitter fights are stress on the system, not a crisis in it. The cris
