What I mean is, if you knew that only one other person was going to read your book, poetry collection, whatever it is you are passionate about, would you keep writing? If you can answer "yes," then keep writing. Hugh Howey, author of Amazon success "Wool" summed it up like this. Are you going to promote your one book, trying to drum up sales, or are you going to keep working on the next one?(less)

The extra circulation to my brain probably helps, but I find that running helps my mind to wander and ideas coalesce. I've been stuck several times wondering where the story might go and running has helped me to push through it.

What I find more debilitating is "writer's fear," the hesitation I get if I haven't written for a few days. To overcome that, I read a few chapters prior to my current stopping point and that helps me get back into the flow of things.(less)

SUPERLUMINAL has released!

This holiday season I’d like to recommend a little “light” reading. SUPERLUMINAL: Sci-Fi at the Speed of Imagination, is my latest collection of sci-fi short stories available now on Amazon in paperback and e-book formats. Some sci-fi stories plod along at sub-light speeds – and that’s fine. But the ones in this collection get you from beginning to end in less time than it takes light from the Sun Read more of this blog post »
