You’re Not the Only One
This might be my favorite thing I've read in a couple weeks, an essay by Emily St. John Mandel about the work that goes into writing, and how -- in its own way -- that work is reward enough for all those hours spent in solitude. It's not just the … [Continue reading]
One for the Condo
I've been catching up on podcasts lately. Last week at the gym, I finally listened to the Nerdist interview with Thomas Jane. Much of the interview focuses on how technology has reached a point of allowing people to make the things they want to … [Continue reading]
October (Is Made for Writing)
On his blog this morning, Paul Lamb mentioned that it's October. October is my favorite month. (Well, when I lived in the Chicago area it was; in Texas, November is the closest we get to October up north.) It's a great month to be outside. It's a … [Continue reading]

Unplugging from the Internet
I know I can go 101 days without social media. Giving up Twitter, Google+, and especially Facebook isn't too tough for me. I can go without a telephone, too. (I'm also not much of a fan of text messages.) The one thing I always check daily, though, … [Continue reading]

Years ago when I was doing a comic book with my wife, we had a brilliant idea: "Sign all orders!" Every book that sold through a distributor was signed before shipping. Looking back, we were lucky we only had to sign what probably totaled a little … [Continue reading]
How To Do Things Regularly
While emailing a friend yesterday, we chatted a bit about keeping our writing momentum going. It's easy to do something regularly for awhile, and then to let it all slip away. (That's why you see the gym clear up in February and March as people let … [Continue reading]
