Writing, Running, Rebuilding

January 2, 2019 By: Jason Bougger

It’s been a great 2019 so far. Sure, we’re just one day in, but it was a damn fine, productive day. With both the wife and I having the day off, we took turns keeping the kids occupied while the other worked on their stuff. Even got out of the house and took the kids […]

November 23, 2018 By: Jason Bougger

The best articles about writing I read this week.

Back with another edition of Five Links Friday! I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and will use the rest of the weekend to get caught up on your NaNoWriMo. (On a side note, I used to use this weekend for an annual November Nethack Tournament, but the site hosting it has gone down. […]

NaNoWriMo Prep

October 23, 2018 By: Jason Bougger

Hey, writers, as October comes to a close quite there is a large community of aspiring writings out there asking “should I or shouldn’t I?”. What is that big decision they are pondering? Why NaNoWriMo of course! I’ve probably talked about NaNoWriMo a million times here, and my first novel started out as a NaNoWriMo […]

Seasonal Inspiration

October 22, 2018 By: Jason Bougger

For me, certain times of the year get me more inspired to write. But how can a writer make that inspiration last year-round?

All of the pros say you should never wait for inspiration; you should just get out there and get writing. And they are obviously correct. After all, they are the pros 🙂 But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be aware of times where inspiration WILL come looking for you. (It should be noted that you […]

Generative Writing and Brainstorming

October 17, 2018 By: Jason Bougger

What is Generative Writing? Here is a summary of a workshop I attended by Lucy Adkins and Becky Breed on that very topic

Hi all! It’s a great fall evening, and I’m back from a great Nebraska Writers Guild fall conference. This year’s fall conference was especially informative and inspirational. I came back just ready to write, with a newfound passion I haven’t felt in a few years. I will probably have a lot to share about what […]

The Best Articles About Writing I Read This Week

Hey there writers. We’re back for another edition of Five Links Friday. Enjoy! 1. Let’s start with a radical idea from Ksenia Anske: Start your writing day by watching a movie. I do get what she’s saying, but, dudes, there are plenty of meals I skip simply because I don’t have time to eat, let […]

September 14, 2018 By: Jason Bougger

The best articles I read about writing this week.

Wow, Friday’s already here. Sorry I haven’t been too active this week, I got hit over the head with a sinus infection and strep throat. Lost my voice (hurts to yell at the kids) and developed a nasty cough (hurts as much as yelling at the kids.) I missed a podcast do to all that, […]
