Three Writing Ideas I’ve Changed My Mind About

June 13, 2017 By: Jason Bougger

Here are three ideas I had about the craft of writing when I first started. It turns out I was wrong about a few things. Here are those things.

I’ve been writing for a while now, and while I still look back on those first couple of years where everything was fun, new, and exciting, I still had a few wrong ideas about the craft. And had I not corrected them, they may still be holding me back today. So with that said, here […]

I don’t mind the question at all, and in today’s environment, more and more authors are choosing to go that route. Why I’m not currently self-publishing While my thoughts about self-publishing have evolved in the last three or four years, it’s still […]

Some thoughts on Tate Publishing and other scammers

May 8, 2017 By: Jason Bougger

I'm truly sorry to any writers who have been scammed by Tate (and I have met a few) and also to any of the honest employees who are now out of a job. It really sucks to see things like this happen.

One of the reasons I’ve stayed […]
