Let yourself chase an idea, record an overheard conversation, or get lost in a daydream. Then go write. Even if it's bad, it's better than the blank page. Second, cut yourself some slack. When I was 22 and fresh out of college, I submitted and wrote and submitted and wrote, and every rejection felt like a failure. The truth is, you might not know enough to write your best work yet. That doesn't mean that you're failing... it only means that you're still growing. And really, I'm still growing now. I think every year, you become more YOURSELF than you've ever been, and that'll mean your writing is better, more honest, and more pure. (less)

Nate Ragolia's Blog: Nate's Notes

Writing a Better Tomorrow

I started writing my new novel, The Retroactivist nearly two years ago. It began with a conversation that led to an email draft loaded with notes on what an ideal world might look like. I was partially inspired by the resounding support I received from a piece I had written about Denver’s economic and population boom. The world seemed ripe for advancement, for a new beginning. I wanted Denver to b Read more of this blog post »
