Solar Eclipse 2017
Like most of North America, I watched the solar eclipse on Monday, and am now posting about it on social media. And why not? Even though eclipses (partial, total, lunar, solar) are not rare occurrences, a total eclipse happening across a highly populated area is a bigger deal. I was in an area of about […]

When it comes to authors and their social media, you may have heard two different schools of thought.

The One Thing They Never Tell You About the Freelance Life
Well, maybe this point has been covered by freelancers and entrepreneurs before. But if it is covered, then I don’t think it’s addressed enough. So what is this elusive, ill-addressed yet important factor of the freelance life? The fact that it’s all in your head. What I mean by that is that to be a […]

Freedom to Write
Not much of a blog post this week, because I’m writing this on the 4th of July (very late), and I’m feeling lazy. But as I was trying to decide what I could write in my tired and lazy state, I reflected on how blessed I am to live in a place and time where […]

Used Book Stores – Good or Bad?
I personally am a big fan of used book stores. I even worked at a used book store after college. Used book stores are great for readers, because you can get books cheap. A lot of used bookstores have a trade-in program, so you can treat the store kind of like a library; if you […]
