I love ‘I didn't quit' stories. As my son, Jeremy says, “Keep on pushing.” When you have a gift, you have to do it. Whether it is drawing motorcycles like my son, or writing books like me, or going to school, or working at a job that you know you are...

I'm tired and cranky and all out of sorts. And I have fifty chapters left in what I think is my 18th pass of edits. I'm sick of the story. I would rather clean the oven or gather junk for a trip to Goodwill. The sun is somewhere else. Not here anyway. Gloomy gloomy....

My editor recommended setting up a timeline for the current fiction I'm editing. The story line was really messed up. I had the scene where Mr. Main Character shot the guy before the scene where he chose the gun! (Maybe not that bad but just about!) So I made this...

I don't do New Year resolutions, but I love getting my journal out and rehashing where I'm at with God, life, writing, relationships, art, etc. January 3rd was a good entry for that, knowing that this year, 2015, I will e-publish several books and short stories. I...

It's November. NaNoWriMo month. That's National Novel Writing Month. It's where … maybe go to their site. They explain it better. You write a book in a month. For those that do that 12 times a year, it's okay. For the rest of us? I'm days behind, but I'll catch...
