Reevaluating My Goals (Already)

January 11, 2017 By: Jason Bougger

2017 hasn't been the year I've hoped for yet. So I'm making some adjustments on my goals early so that it still can be.

So we’re only eleven days into 2017 and I’m already writing a “Hey, look at me, I’m sad and discouraged” type of post. Okay, maybe that’s not entirely my purpose in this post. After all, we don’t allow negative thoughts over here at Write Good Books. But that doesn’t mean I won’t occasionally use this […]

The best articles I read about writing this week.

It’s Friday and it’s a million degrees below zero over here. So turn up the heat, bundle up, stay indoors, and check out this week’s edition of Five Links Friday! 1.

November Progress Report and December Goals (2016)

December 1, 2016 By: Jason Bougger

Here are my accomplishments for November and goals for December.

It’s the final month of the year already. Maybe it’s just me, but this year went by way too fast. I feel like I got a lot done, but there’s so much more I would have liked to accomplish. But that’s that type of stuff that should be reserved for a year-end post, not a […]

Dream Big

November 30, 2016 By: Jason Bougger

So why do you write? It’s a question I’ve been asked a bunch of times and every time I’m asked I answer the same way: I say that I write because I truly believe that someday it will be my “out.” I don’t want to spend my entire life working for a paycheck. I think […]

The Worst Writing Advice I’ve Heard

November 29, 2016 By: Jason Bougger

There is so much good writing advice out there, I thought it would be fun to share some of the things I consider bad writing advice.

The internet is full of good writing advice. I like to think I contribute to that at least a little bit here on this blog, but I know it’s all subjective. One person’s good advice can just as easily be another person’s bad advice. And with that in mind, here is some of the writing […]

October Progress Report and November Goals (2016)

October 31, 2016 By: Jason Bougger

My writing progress report for October goals for November.

Happy Halloween! And happy final day of October. I’ll say this has been a pretty good month. (Ignoring the ongoing thing about my house caving in upon itself.) In the world of non-writing stuff, we took the kids to a bunch of Halloween things and they’re totally ready to fill up those bags of candy […]
