August 4, 2017 By: Jason Bougger

The best articles I read about writing this week.

I’m a little late with the post again, but that’s okay. I took the day off and spent the day at a local country fair with the kids. Had a great time and 2yo got to see a giant bunny. And with that said, here is this week’s collection of Five Links Friday! 1. Derek […]

Three reasons writers should use Pinterest

April 19, 2017 By: Jason Bougger

Pinterest has a weird reputation. To some people, it’s a pointless photo-sharing app for people with nothing better to do to use for posting pictures of their food.

Writing-related things that can get in the way of your writing

February 15, 2017 By: Jason Bougger

We all know there is a lot more to "being a writer" than actual writing, but sometimes all of that other writing stuff you have to do can get in the way of your actual writing. So be careful with how you spend your time.

This post is going to be a little difficult for me two write, as it could very well be titled “How I spend my day doing things when I should be writing.” Why is that? Well, mostly because I’ve taken on a whole bunch of writing-related things that are not, in fact, writing. And yes, […]

January 31, 2017 By: Jason Bougger

Your writing is your business. Treat it that way.

December 21, 2016 By: Jason Bougger

When you present yourself as a writer, always be professional, whether on paper, on the internet, or at a conference. Here are some tips.

Here’s the thing. If you’re a writer and you hope to become a successful writer, then you need to view your writing as a business. I know, I’ve said that before, but this time I’m not talking about all the businessy things you need to do as a writer. This time I’m talking about how […]

Five Links Friday 12/2/16

December 2, 2016 By: Jason Bougger

The best articles I read about writing this week.

It’s already the first Friday of December. I don’t know what it’s like in your part of the country, but here in the midwest it’s freaking…winter, I guess. Rumors are flying that we’ll be buried in like seventeen feet of snow or something like that by this time next week, but who knows. If it […]
