Are You Your Own Worst Enemy?

Let’s get real.  Let’s be honest.   I’m a writer, and a blogger, and a YouTuber, and I have Twitter and Facebook, and all that lovely stuff.  I’m proud of my work and what I have done.  Except honestly, I’m not actually excited, and maybe even a bit bitter.  If I am really being bad …

Compassionate Blogging And Writing

We all do it.  That moment, that awful moment we’d love to take back. I’m not writing about the intent to be mean, or to be less than compassionate, and on the Internet there is a lot of hurtful comments which the writer does intentionally.  I’m not writing of these, I’m writing about the ‘funny’ …

Start The New Year, Vlogging

It’s time to start the new year, and to give it a shot, I think as a means to grow and develop as a blogger and a writer, it’s a good time to start the vlogging process. I’ll be the first to admit it’s rather scary, and frankly with two videos, which aren’t long, it’s …

Books and The Mind

A great book, with some great world views can change you. Have you ever had an aha moment? The one where you found that no matter what you did the book you just read is still stuck in your mind?  The moment where you know this book has done something powerful to your current line …

To Be a Better Blogger And Writer

What is a ‘better’ writer? I’m sure, after so many years of writing on a blog, it might seem funny that I would ask a question like this.  Don’t misunderstand, I love the act of writing, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without my writing, be it books or other media.  The same …

On Publishing and Blogging

We’ve all had some very critical days.  Maybe even months and years where one goes into a self reflective mode and doesn’t want to come out of it. I’m sure it’s not only in writing, but in all aspects of life.  It’s hard when what you want isn’t what you really want to work for. …

Writer’s Challenge and A Quote

It’s that time of year again where some writers gear up for the “write of their lives” the month, and possibly a good part of the year where the idea is to simply write, and then write some more. The time of year when editing is not part of the plan, but rather something to …

Mind Blown, Just a Writer.

Have you ever had a moment where no matter what you do or say nothing will change? No matter if you changed your style, your dress, your attitude it’s not quite right? You don’t have the strong feeling that you’ve done the correct thing.  There are millions of “BUTS” in your head. I’ve had those …

Is Writing Easy? (True Story)

Part of what makes writing- for the non-writer or the want to be famous writer is the part of the planning to get to where they want to go.  There are countless self-help books out there on how to become a better writer, or how to write a novel in 30 days, but the best …

With A Realistic Vibe You Can Write Again

It’s okay to take some time to take a step back and reflect on where you have come from and where you want to go.  It’s okay to take a moment and let yourself feel like a person and not a “writer” when you don’t feel you have anything more to say.  I can see …
