My 2015 Year in Review Post!
You know what? 2015 has been a hell of a year, on both a personal and a writing/blogging level. Every year around New Year’s I like to go over some of the major accomplishments I had throughout the year, and I think it’s actually somewhat therapeutic. Our time on Earth is short and reflecting on […]
Now seeking contributors!

Finding Your Creativity
This time of year, I see a lot of friends and family that I might only see once or twice a year. More often than not, my writing comes up as a conversation piece, and when it does, that question we’ve all been asked gets asked: “Where do you get your ideas?” I know a […]

You’re a Writer. Do You Need a Blog?
If you go back a year or two, every single piece of writing advice you could find was summed up in these three words: Platform, platform, platform. You want to get published? Build a platform. You want an agent? Build a platform. You want a contract? Build a platform. You get the idea. It was […]
Five Links Friday 12/11/15
It’s Friday! Let’s get right to it… 1. K.M. Weiland has a nice post at her awesome blog looking at anti-climatic endings, which are a problem we all face every now and then in our writing. 2. We all get angry sometimes, especially us writers who are trying to balance our writing with our family […]
Are Form Letter Rejections Really That Bad?
It goes without saying that every new writer should expect to receive pile upon pile of rejection letters.
