Possibilities and Positivity
Possibilities. We look at our lives, each of us, weighted one of two ways – positive or negative. Why do we do this? What possible good comes from the ‘negative’ life view? I hope you’re not looking to me for the answers to these questions. The reasons for negativity stretch into endless debate. The experiences [...]

Writing and Time Management
One critical thing I’ve noticed about writing – time attempts to infringe in nearly every area of your writing life. I know all about time management.

I was supposed to have this book complete weeks ago. My first draft manuscript must be ready by Monday, February 20th in order to have a proof copy before I head to LA in mid March. To complete the book, I needed to knock out some words. Amazing what we can do once we purpose [...]
Oh, The Pain, The Pain…of Writing
Dr. Zachary Smith from the television show Lost in Space, would lament that phrase over and over. You simply loved to hate his cowardice, laziness, and scheming ways. I never liked it when he came into a scene. A gut reaction sent a ‘repulse’ signal to my brain and I was always rewarded with dire [...]
Writing Broken…
So, I’m on a writing roll these days, right? I’m keying around 2000 words per day. Once you hit a consistent groove like that, nothing stops you from writing – even a broken finger.
