Writing is Easy. Publishing is Hard.

Okay, I've been a writer and a writing instructor long enough to know that writing is hard. Really, really hard. Every once in awhile inspiration hits and the words just come but a lot of the time most writers end up staring at a white, painfully blank screen. I'm interested in writing, in publishing, and how current trends are making publishing more accessible, if not easier.

If you want to be inspired, I recommend Stephen King's On Writing. The best book I've read about living the life of a writer.

And maybe stop by here once in awhile, too. My first book, Lost Edens, will see print in about 2 months and I'll use this blog to track progress, reflect on the process, and hopefully add to the dialogue on writing, editing, publishing, and teaching writing.

Thanks for stopping by.

Keep writing!
