It doesn’t take much to finish

September 3, 2019 By: Jason Bougger

NaNoWriMo is two months away. You know the drill: 50,000 words in 30 days. That comes in at 1,667 words per day. It’s a daunting task for both new and experienced writers. I’ve done it twice and will probably do it again in a few years when the kids are older. But for now, I’ve […]

Getting back into writing after taking a break

September 2, 2019 By: Jason Bougger

Just a couple of thoughts on my writing habits (or lack thereof) and what I'm doing to get back on track.

I’ve taken…holy cow…almost the entire year so far off from writing fiction. Most of the time off has been spent working on other projects such as the card game and setting up some the initial business stuff required for that. And, yeah, designing and playtesting 52 Dragons has been so much fun. I can’t wait […]

The Best Articles I Read About Writing This Week

Ick. Weird week. I’ll spare you the gory details, but let’s just say I’m happy to be mostly healthy again. Onward to this week’s edition of Five Links Friday! 1. One of the things all of us entrepreneurs have in common is late nights and early mornings. But at what cost? Here are 7 Ways […]

Five Negative Writing Thoughts (And How To Deal With Them)

April 3, 2019 By: Jason Bougger

How many of us hear voices in our heads? Okay, maybe not those kinds of voices, but a different kind. The kind that tries to get in the way of everything you want to do. The negative voice in your head that wants you to give up on all your dreams. We’ve all heard that […]

The Best Articles I Read About Writing This Week

Hey, it’s Friday! I’ve got to start off this weekend by saying, yes, I’m still here and alive and well. I haven’t been posting much as of late, and I even missed last week’s Five Links Friday. Sigh. Not slacking at all though; I’ve just been dedicating most of my non-parenting time to the card […]

I’m Still Here (Site Updates and Things Like That)

December 10, 2018 By: Jason Bougger

Sometimes other things might get in the way of writing, but even if you need to take a break, make sure you continue to use your creativity in other areas or on other projects.

So I guess I quit writing. Okay, that’s not really the most accurate way to put it, but I am taking a bit of a break from writing fiction. I suppose that’s strange, considering I took most of the summer off from blogging to work on the first large book of an epic fantasy trilogy. […]

What are you giving up?

November 13, 2017 By: Jason Bougger

“I Just don’t have the time.” It’s crazy how many times I’ve heard people say, “I’d like to work out more, but I just don’t have the time.” Or “I’d like to read a book sometime, but I just don’t have the time.” Or my personal favorite, directed a me: “You write fiction? I wish […]
