Mindset of the Wealthy Writer

I was going to write about plotting versus pantsing this morning, but then the idea for this post grabbed hold of me and wouldn't let go. So here we are….(and look for the other post later this week). Let me be clear at the outset. I'm not wealthy, at least as far as finances go. […]

Win the Publishing Game: 7 Steps to Getting Published

It's the holy grail, the reason so many of us write: publication. Whether you're writing a book, or an article, or a poem, everyone wants their work to see the light of day.

Writing Habits

10 Ways To Return to Writing Regularly

True confession: I haven't been writing. Okay, that's not exactly true. I've been writing blog posts, guest posts, interviews and comments on my client's work.

Promotion

Promoting Your Great Creative Work

I've been working on publicizing and promoting my novel over the last month and I fancy I've learned a few things along the way.

An Interview You Can Hear

I'm not exactly sure how I stumbled upon Patty–or maybe she stumbled upon me–but I am so glad I did. Patty brings a deep and gentle respect for self-development and creativity to all her work. And this […]

Quick note about comments: I just realized that most of the comments that have been left in the past few days are inadvertently going into a Spam file. Thanks to Zan Marie for noticing that her comment didn't post and letting me know. I'm wondered why I wasn't getting many comments! I'm working with Typepad […]
