The 250 Word Baby Step

April 4, 2016 By: Jason Bougger

Try setting a small, attainable daily word-count goal.

I recently wrote an article about struggling to finish my second novel. My problems in that case–my writer’s block, if you will–were related to editing and revising. But what about writing? What do you do when you’re writing struggle is that you’re literally having trouble getting the words on paper and finish a story story? […]

The best articles I read about writing this week

Wow, another eventful and crazy week is behind us. Hope you had a great St. Patrick’s day, if that’s your thing, and be sure to read these five links when you can. 1. We’re all writers here, right? We’re all creative people here, right? So why can’t we figure out a creative way to get […]

Five Links Friday New Year’s Day 2016

January 1, 2016 By: Jason Bougger

The best articles I read this week. And since it's New Year's Day, this week we're looking at posts about setting and keeping goals.

It is my favorite day of the year. (Yes, even more than Halloween, despite what I have may have said in the past.) And as I’m a firm believer in setting goals, especially New Year’s Day goals, I wanted to make this Five Links Friday one focused on setting and keeping goals. Enjoy! 1. Don’t […]

My writing and blogging goals for 2016, plus some big news!

December 31, 2015 By: Jason Bougger

My writing and blogging goals for 2016, plus some big news!

This is the year. That should really be your motto going into every new year. Longtime readers of some of my previous blogs will know that I take New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day very seriously as a time to reflect on previous achievements and prepare for future ones. So this is the post […]

Write Good Books wishes you a Merry Christmas!

Don’t worry so much about your word count

October 26, 2015 By: Jason Bougger

One of the most repeated pieces of advice I see in writer’s magazines and other online writing sites (including my own) is to write every day. You’re thinking, “Well, duh…” and so am I. Of course you need to write every day. If you want to master anything, from sports to arts, you need to […]

Let’s Talk About Goals (And Why We Fail To Reach Them)

October 15, 2015 By: Jason Bougger

I often harp on the importance of setting writing goals over here at the blog and often push the idea that if you set specific goals, you can achieve anything you set out to do. But it isn’t always that easy. I know the experts all agree that writing down your goals is the best […]

Fourth Quarter News, Updates and Goals

October 1, 2015 By: Jason Bougger

What's up with Write Good Books and my own writing for the next few months?

And just like that, 2015 is 3/4 of the way over. It’s been a pretty cool year so far. I launched Write Good Books, became a dad for the third time, published my first novel, did my first convention (as a presenter). Pretty cool when I look at it that way. If I have one […]
