I've known my friend Brent Meyer since high school. We've always supported what the other is up to, even though Brent's always been focused on music, and my focus has always been on writing. Being friends with Brent, I've seen that no matter … [Continue reading]
Happy New Year!
I wanted to get this online Friday night, but I was having a big problem with The Juggling Writer. (I was unable to log into the site; obviously, I figured out the problem.) So while we're all looking ahead into 2011, here's a glimpse into the … [Continue reading]
One Thing for 2011
It's that time of year when people share their resolutions for the next year. (Or proclaim how silly resolutions are!) The problem with resolutions is most lists look like this: Lose weight. Learn another language. Travel to 5 different … [Continue reading]
Best of The Juggling Writer – 2010
2010 was a busy year for The Juggling Writer. I wrote about 150 entries on the blog, totaling -- I'm guessing -- around 70,000 words written. (31 of those entries were written this month.) I finished another novel (103,000 words, but many of … [Continue reading]
A Clean New Year
My wife and I went on a cleaning spree last week. We decided to treat the second-to-last week in December like a spring cleaning day. We're pretty tidy people, but dust eventually gathers and sometimes we take a few days and spend a couple … [Continue reading]
How to Clear Your Inbox
I admit it: when it comes to having a clear inbox, I'm bad. I have moments that last for weeks where my inbox is spotless, and then seemingly overnight, there's a pile of messages. Here are a few tips that have worked for me in the ongoing battle … [Continue reading]
2010: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
[While this is meant to be a writing-related post, it can apply to anything.] I've heard many friends say that 2010 went by in a blur. Looking back at 2010, in ways it seems like a blur to me, too -- and in other ways it seems like a year that … [Continue reading]

Give Yourself the Gift of Writing
I thought about doing another The Gift of Books Christmas entry like last year, but I can sum up this year's reading gifts with the photo I used for this entry and another book given to me by my mom -- and a thank you to my sister-in-law and family … [Continue reading]
Focus on What Really Matters
I'm good at multitasking -- in large part because I'm easy going and don't get flustered when I'm interrupted with something. While I'm good at multitasking, when left to my own devices, I tend to focus on one thing at a time until it's … [Continue reading]
Oops!
There was a problem with a server at my ISP, and The Juggling Writer was down for roughly 24 hours. (My main site was back online yesterday, and the site for my podcast came back, but with a missing sidebar.) It was a good reminder that while I … [Continue reading]
Cartoon Neil Gaiman Wants You To Write!
I haven't shouted it from the rooftops, but I'm shooting for a post a day this December. No real reason, other than it seemed like a cool thing to do at the end of the year. Today, though, I've been busy. One of the reasons I don't normally … [Continue reading]
