December Writing Contest Week Three

I like to call my little December promotion a writing contest, because, after all, you do have to write a comment to win. But even if you wrote the crappiest comment in the world and the random selector chose you, I would give you the present. So don't worry about composing the Great American Novel […]

So, are you ready to know the winner? Drum roll, please….. Every time I hear that phrase I think of the scene in the movie National […]

Three Powerful Words for an Amazing New Year

It's a little bit of a thing to come up with words for the year. Christine Kane chooses one word to live by. Chris Brogan chooses three. And since I'm a bit of a lush, and always seem to want more, I go along with Chris and opt to choose three. Last year I chose […]

Contests

Writerly Gifts, Week Two

Last week, I gave away a journal in which to write your brilliant ideas, plots, character arcs and stories. Now you need something with which to write those wonderful bits.

How Many Projects Should Writers Focus on at a Time?

Lately I've been cursed blessed with an abundance of ideas. I've got viable ideas for three mainstream novels and at least six ideas for novels to write in a new genre I'd like to experiment with a bit. As a professional writer, I'm accustomed to juggling projects. I'll often have an ongoing ghostwriting project (just […]

Ghostwriting: A Cautionary Tale

Everything about the potential ghostwriting client sounded great: He came to me through a referral He had a treatment for his book written up He had a book contract ready to go We emailed back and forth a couple of times and then set up a time to talk. I was both daunted and excited […]

Are You Cultivating Your Creative Seeds?

And forgive me if that title sounds vaguely obscene. I'm not sure if it does or not, and I don't mean it to. So, that out of the way, let's talk about ideas. And goals. Awk! The two don't go together. Or do they? Well, yeah, kinda they do. Because you can have tons of […]
