I'm one of those writers...the kind that doesn't use an outline. I've tried using outlines. Oh, how I've tried using outlines! I've even been vaguely successful a few times. When I wrote independent comic books, I outlined. For series stuff … [Continue reading]
Sunday Randomness
Last month, I started a new novel -- the first time I set out to write something with the goal of going straight to an e-book. It's a young adult (YA) story called Old Man, and it looks like it will probably be a novella. I say probably because I … [Continue reading]
Writing Without Copyright
I have a friend who is rather fond of anarcho-capitalism. (I am not an anarcho-capitalist, but I'll always listen to other people and their views.) A year ago, he challenged me to imagine a world without copyright. At first I thought, "I am all … [Continue reading]
April Showers…
It's with a heavy heart that I'm announcing this morning -- after 327 entries, here -- that I've come to an end with The Juggling Writer. I think I'm done with all writing, in fact. No more blog entries, articles, or novels. I'm just out of … [Continue reading]
The Book Pile: The Night Swimmer Review
I'll skip the normal lead in to this review and say this: Amazon.com reviews had me almost reluctant to actually pick up Matt Bondurant's The Night Swimmer (affiliate link). The general consensus seemed to be, "Hey, this is well written, but not … [Continue reading]
I Want Your Best Road Trip Tale

The (Writing) Power in Observation
Last week, I spent an evening watching a group of women in 18th century costumes drink wine and play cards. My wife's big hobby is historical costuming, and one of her friends decided to have friends over for dinner and games...dressed in costumes … [Continue reading]
Interview with Mark Hosack
I met Mark Hosack twelve years ago last month. This was my first impression of the guy: "I'm finally not the only one in the room with mad scientist hair!" It was a crew meeting for Pale Blue Moon, an independent film Mark was preparing to direct. … [Continue reading]
The Company of Other Writers (Part 2)
I begin my day emailing a good friend who also writes. I chat with my friend Shawn at work. On walks at night, I chat with my wife. From the time I wake up, to the time I go to sleep, I have the opportunity to talk about writing. That Contact … [Continue reading]
Don’t Answer Every Question
While I've been busy juggling work, writing, and life, I've decided to set A Magic Life aside and write a novel that's not so demanding of deep attention. Like Hell Comes with Wood Paneled Doors, this novel was a screenplay first, which means I … [Continue reading]
Mark Hosack’s Identity Problem
While I have a bit of a hard time speaking up for my own writing, I have no problems promoting others doing things I like and believe in. Meet Mark Hosack The first time I met Mark Hosack I thought, "Okay, maybe my haircut ISN'T so bad after … [Continue reading]
Kickstarting a Relaunch
On Sunday, I mentioned that I did a very poor job promoting Hell Comes with Wood Paneled Doors (HCWWPD). I tossed it out there and that was that. The interesting thing about the Internet is writers have a chance to follow up with promoting … [Continue reading]
Promoting Your Writing
It's not too hard to put out an e-book. Sure, it takes work to write a novel, but as far as turning that into an e-book -- even I figured it out pretty fast. The tough thing is promoting what you're doing. There, I can do much better. A Couple … [Continue reading]
