Writing on Fear and Gray Days
There are many things writers will write about, or talk about to their writing friends. Some of them have to do with the challenges of writing or having a book published or simply writer's block. This is a normal course of events that happens with every person who writes.
Then there is the days (and they can be days) when no matter what you do, you simply can NOT write. I know, I have been

Should You Publish a Book?
After all your hard work and effort should you think about publishing? Would you want to see that "baby" in print?
For the most part the answer is yes, and you should produce the best you can. The hard work should be shown to the world.
Publish a book, and then see where the joy of writing and publishing takes you and never fear... you have done it. It's not easy but you can learn and

Why Do I Want Massive Traffic To My Blog?
I admit the thought of getting a lot of traffic to my blog is nice, but the question I have to ask is this: in the end is it the best thing for my blog?
Now, I am referring to traffic, which is not the same as readers, traffic is something that can be here for an answer, or a person who is simply looking at my blog, whereas my readers are the ones who come back time and again, and often comment.

Of Pens and Other Publishing Methods
Publishing isn't about getting a book on to a shelf, at least not all the time, what publishing is about it getting those thousand thoughts on to some type of hard document. This is possibly not the easiest thing in the world to do, as most of my writing friends love their laptops or desktops or whatever they might be currently using to write with.
We all can admit to wanting to be published,

Wow, simply keep on writing!
I'm deep in my editing, and this is something I'm pleased with. I've not forgotten anyone, but I simply want to write a few notes of encouragement.
1) Some days you got to write.
2) Some days it's easy to write.
3) When it's not one of those some days, then forgive yourself and move on.
4) Write what you can, edit what you can, write some more....
5) Never give up.
6) If you feel a bit

Do You have a Pen Name? Do You Publish Under a Pen Name?
These days there is a certain freedom to publishing a book under a pen name. However there is also a freedom that comes with publishing under your regular name. The question one can ask is how about online publishing?
As an example: I write this blog, but I might have other interests better served by writing and publishing under a pen name. I am for example interested in history however I

A Mistake Can Be Fixed... But It's Best To Do That Before You Publish
Sometimes it's hard to publish things online, as no matter how much checking goes into your work there is always something you miss. What makes it harder is that you have to tell people the essential things while making your writing, fun interesting fantastic and a whole host of other things.
Editing is important and I'm not about to even suggest that you don't edit, but what I am suggesting is

Self-Publishing can Be a Pain
I'm not against self-publishing a book... but there are some days when it can be a real pain. This is most true when you have a lot of things to try to do. One is getting set up in my new office. the problem however is that while it's simply wonderful and I'm overjoyed to have it....
There is a little problem of not having everything exactly where I need it when I need it. Since my next book

Quotes On Writing to Keep You Writing
Just a writing note to encourage you to keep on writing, and to never give up. I am very busy with edits, but never fear, writing continues.
Writing is something you do, it is something you are and it is something that you do....
So, that pen and paper are a good thing, enjoy every moment, and write!

Just A Writing Note
I've not forgotten anyone, I've been busy with writing my next two books and working hard on them and it's not as easy to focus on many things when you have a deadline to keep.
So I'm sorry it's a short blog, but writing duty calls. I suspect it is better to write and finish the edits to a book then to try to work on five things at once.
I'm buried in paper and edits....
But to all my
