What a great feeling, finishing a project! I know, I’ve still got a while to go to finish this project, but the other that I started at the same time is now ready for editing. Now comes the work part of being an author. It’s interesting, going back and reading over your own work. You … Continue reading Day 70 of 90: Finishing Projects #ASMSG #IARTG #IAN1 #SupportIndieAuthors

I get a lot of work done late at night, or early in the morning while most people are asleep. I believe it's a combination of factors that makes this true. It isn't just the lack of people awake enough to interrupt me, it's the nature of our tired brains as well. That's why I … Continue reading Day 69 of 90: Circadian Rhythm #ASMSG #IARTG #IAN1 #SupportIndieAuthors

Over two thirds of the way through this project! Not only am I nearing the end of this project, but my other works are going awesome as well. It’s like writing here helps to jumpstart everything else. I know I’ve told you guys that before, but it really is true. Even though I usually write … Continue reading Day 67 of 90: Over 2/3 of the way done! #ASMSG #IARTG #IAN1 #SupportIndieAuthors

It’s amazing, how the small things in life can make you appreciate it so much more. Usually, my wife wakes up, fixes coffee for the both of us. This morning, I decided to break that ritual, and make my wife coffee, so it was ready when she woke up. The joy that lit in her … Continue reading Day 64 of 90:The Small Things #ASMSG #IARTG #IAN1 #SupportIndieAuthors

Being a writer is one of the scariest things I’ve ever done. It takes a brave soul to put their words out for others to pick apart. I say this as someone who struggles at times with grammar and syntax. You should see when I write something in rilenese, it looks like English, but it … Continue reading Day 63 of 90: Proud to be a creator #ASMSG #IARTG #IAN1 #SupportIndieAuthors #Inspiration

Nothing like pain to remind us of all the great things in life! As I write this, I’m dealing with excruciating tooth pain. It really hurts, I mean to the point where I have tears in my eyes. Feel like I was kicked by a mule right in the mouth last night while I slept. … Continue reading Day 62 of 90: Pain and stress #ASMSG #IARTG #IAN1 #SupportIndieAuthors

You shouldn’t let yourself be controlled. I see it a lot nowadays, a wife who bows to her husband’s wishes, a man who wraps around his daughter’s pinky, even the mother who gives their child throwing a tempter tantrum what they want. Everyday we allow ourselves to be under the control of someone else. We … Continue reading Day 61 of 90: Have to be you #ASMSG #IARTG #IAN1 #SupportIndieAuthors #Inspiration

You know what I love about being an author? I’m beholden to no one but myself. I feel free to do what I want, how I want. My words carry me to other worlds and show me people's differing perception. I’ve spent quite a bit of my formative years buried in books, looking to the past, … Continue reading Day 60 of 90: Find your Passion #ASMSG #IARTG #IAN1 #SupportIndieAuthors #Inspiration
