Write Good Books Anniversary and Update

January 1, 2020 By: Jason Bougger

Updates on the blog and life.

Well, wow. I launched this blog exactly 5 years ago today. It’s been a lot of fun, a great learning experience, and it really has helped keep me inspired to write fiction and continue to improve. But things change. When I started this blog, I had already been blogging about writing fairly regularly on my […]

Happy Halloween (with a couple of updates!)

October 31, 2019 By: Jason Bougger

Happy Halloween from Write Good Books!

Hey all, I wanted to check in with a quick Halloween update. If you’ve been to the site lately, you might have noticed things have been pretty quiet at the blog. But what better time to return than my favorite day of the year? So during the hiatus, I mostly put all writing-related things on […]

5 Ways to Support and Encourage Other Writers

June 4, 2019 By: Jason Bougger

I love inspiring other writers to keep at it. Here are five quick and easy ways to support and encourage your writing buddies.

One of the things you’ll often hear as new writer is that the world of publishing is a competitive, cold place. That writers are figuratively fighting each other to the death, and if another writer isn’t plotting to steal your work, then they are plotting to stab you in the back. Well, I’m here to […]

Looking at Q2 2019

April 9, 2019 By: Jason Bougger

Here's a personal update on some of the projects I'm working on and what I hope to get done in the next few months.

March is always kind of a weird month for me. I always end up getting a simultaneous case of birthday hope and birthday blues. It’s also the end of the first quarter of the year, and I often end up wondering if I got enough done in the year so far. But I do love […]

Come on in, 2019

January 1, 2019 By: Jason Bougger

A look at what I have going on in the new year.

Hi all. It’s been a little longer since I last posted here than I prefer, but that’s okay because I’ve got lots of good things going on 🙂 It’s my favorite day (night?) of the year so I wanted to chime in for a bit and share some of my 2019 goals. Every year my […]

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. […]

Back in business (more or less…)

September 1, 2018 By: Jason Bougger

Hey, writers! So if you’ve poked your head into the Write Good Books Blog lately you might have noticed a few podcasts, but not a lot of anything else. Like I said in July, I was going to take a little break from blogging to catch my breath a bit and work on some other […]

Looking ahead in 2018

May 1, 2018 By: Jason Bougger

Sharing my accomplishments and goals for the remainder of the year.

Yesterday I posted my 2018 writing goals, as well as a progress report of sorts and shared how I have pretty much missed the benchmark on all of them. I wasn’t posting that to wine, or complain, or make excuses or anything like that. My motive for that type of post is to show that […]
