Live Your Life, Don’t Merely Survive it.

February 21, 2017 By: Jason Bougger

Sometimes it's difficult to keep chasing your dreams when real life gets in the way. But you have to keep going or you'll never reach your dreams.

I’ll start by divulging a little secret about being a dad for those of you out there who haven’t yet had the pleasure of becoming a parent: You’re continuously exhausted. Imagine waking up tired, and then staying tired all day, while knowing that sitting down for more than two or three minutes at a time […]

Community Support for the Arts

February 20, 2017 By: Jason Bougger

I’d like to share some thoughts on two events I attended Sunday in Seward, Nebraska. If you’re not familiar with Seward, it’s a wonderful town of 7,000 people in the southeast part of the state.

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, […]

Does where you write affect how you write?

February 14, 2017 By: Jason Bougger

Over the years as our family grew, my “writing room” stayed mostly constant, until it eventually became a bedroom for kiddie # 3 and I moved my writing desk to the basement.
