For the first time this month, I’ve done something I have never done. I finished Inktober, but it was Inktober with a twist. In October, I participated in Inktober (Writer Edition).

Even as the best of writers, we all have busy lives. The kids need to be taken care of, bills need to be paid, and most of us have other hobbies other than writing. And let’s not forget the unexpected things that come up and take precedent over writing. Lately, I have been very guilty

Today is World Judo Day and the theme this year is Courage. This is very important to me, since I feel I have been lacking courage recently. For the past few weeks, I’ve just been floating through life. Work, home, judo, school, repeat ad infinitum. I’ve recently decided that I’m not going to do that

This morning I finished my 2016 Nano Novel (with outline included) at just under 150K. Now it’s time to return to book one and rewrite. Today, book 1 begins again. The rest of the year is the rest of the series. I’m reaching my 2017 writing goals.

You wish things had ended differently. That she would have done more, that you could have done less. You just want things to have been different. You wouldn’t have said what you had said if you knew how things were going to go. Sure, you felt it, and she eventually said it back, but it

All things must come to an end. The day we live through must give way to a new one tomorrow, the weeks and months give way to New Years and decades. Even writing projects must end, some of them earlier than others. I have a lot of unfinished projects. Daily when I write, or think

There is something so exciting about finishing something.

As most of you know, I am usually a hand writer for first drafts. For this NaNoWriMo (which I just won) I decided I was going to type it entirely. I learned a few things along the way. 1. Typing and Writing are different: Typing is completely different than writing, most of us know this.

I am still alive, and going to post some great content soon! NaNoWriMo and Work are taking up most of my time, but either in December or January there will be new content. Thank you all for sticking with me!

They find the time between work, school, family, holidays and sometimes life in general, to attempt to reach 50,000 words. Many of them succeed in the first day, and many of them blast past…

Writing is not easy. Anyone who has had to write anything will tell you that. It doesn’t matter if it’s an essay, or a short story, or a novel, or even an email. Getting the words and images from your head to the page is sometimes the hardest thing writers do

April is swiftly drawing to a close and I’m sure many writers out there are pushing to make their final word counts. I am usually one of them, but not this month. For some reason, this month was just not meant for writing and that’s perfectly fine. Maybe it was because I had been pushing

The first week of Camp NaNoWriMo is unfortunately not going so well. I only have about 5K words when I should have at least three times that. But that’s ok! Because I am learning things I never thought I would, and I am taking a break from my year long attempt at a novel for
