April 30, 2018 By: Jason Bougger

Looking at my writing goals for 2018 and how I'm doing so far.

I haven’t done one of these posts in a few months, so I figured, What the heck? It’s the last day of April, so why not share some of my writing accomplishments, goals, and dreams? With 2018 quickly passing by (it’s already 1/3 of the way done???) I’ll look at the goals I set for […]

What motivates your protagonist?

April 23, 2018 By: Jason Bougger

Pick out one of the most recent story or novel you’ve been working on. Clear your head and think about it for a minute or so. Go over the plot, and the main protagonist. Who is that person (or animal, or alien)? What are they doing in your story? Why are they doing it? And […]

April 18, 2018 By: Jason Bougger

With the three-year anniversary of Holy Fudgesicles approaching, I’ve been blogging about small press publishing this week, including why I chose to publish with a small press and some of the pros and cons of small publishers. I mentioned that with a small or medium press, you might not get the promoting and marketing that […]

April 17, 2018 By: Jason Bougger

A look at the pros and cons of signing with a small press publisher, as well as what I learned by doing so.

As I mentioned yesterday, the three-year anniversary of the release of my first novel is coming up, so this week I’m sharing some of my experiences publishing with a small-to-medium publishing house.
