Writing in a Distractive World
Live sales events are anxiety-producing, risky, and draining on time and energy. I like doing them a lot.
That may seem like a strange thing given how much they cost me in time and energy. But live events give me a chance to meet readers and chat with them in person. Some readers tell me they want to write, or are writing. I want to encourage that, especially with young writers.

“Did you deem yourself strong because you were able to twist the heads off civilised folk, poor weaklings with muscles like rotten string? Hell! Break the neck of a wild Cimmerian bull before you call yourself strong.”

“Solomon Kane stood forth alone,
grim man of a somber race:
"Worthy of death he well may be,
but the court ye held was a mockery,
"Ye hid your spite in a travesty
where Justice hid her face.
"More of the man had ye been,
on deck your sword to cleanly draw
"Inforthright fury from its sheath,
and openly cleave him to the teeth --
"Rather than slink and hide beneath
a hollow word of Law.”
― The Savage Tales of Solomon Kane

“So I have just one wish for you – the good luck to be somewhere where you are free to maintain the kind of integrity I have described, and where you do not feel forced by a need to maintain your position in the organization, or financial support, or so on, to lose your integrity. May you have that freedom.”
