Wow! Today I had an excellent lesson in personal stress, and how it affects our lives. This man I know is a wonderful man that wakes up every day wide eyed and bushy tailed. This morning that wasn't the case. Normally he whistles his way through the start of the day, loving life and happy … Continue reading Day 13 of 90: Still going one day at a time!

Day 12 of 90
I feel it's good to bend rules sometimes. Notice, I said bend. I believe most rules are set in place in a misguided attempt to protect ourselves from ourselves. What I mean is, there are 50 million rules to writing. At least it feels like that sometimes. I never really paid attention to the rules … Continue reading Day 12 of 90
Day 7 more inspiring words!
I was so tired yesterday, but it was easy to shake off this morning. I woke up, and set to work with no problems, even finished half a chapter in a new wip. Good times! I think I may know what it was holding me down though. I started meditating on a daily basis … Continue reading Day 7 more inspiring words!
Day 6 of sharing with your wonderful people!
Today is one of those days where it's hard to get started. My brain feels like it has a fog clouding it, and words are a challenge to use correctly. Still, the stories won't write themselves. And once I get started they seem flow much easier. It doesn't help with the energy department though. I … Continue reading Day 6 of sharing with your wonderful people!
Day 5 In response to an inquiry from yesterday!
I had someone ask me for specific examples of things I use to help jumpstart the mind for writing. I gave them the typical answer that I give everyone, which is read more and have a routine. However, last night I was thinking that might not be enough. So, I decided to make my post … Continue reading Day 5 In response to an inquiry from yesterday!
Day 4, only 86 more to go! #Inspire #IARTG #IAN1 #ASMSG #SupportIndieAuthors!
I'm seriously starting to think that writing is addictive once you start. As I wrote before, I took a short break to enjoy time with family, friends, and pursue other projects, so I didn't write for an entire month. I admit I wrote a couple days, but on the whole I ignored any writing. I … Continue reading Day 4, only 86 more to go! #Inspire #IARTG #IAN1 #ASMSG #SupportIndieAuthors!
Day three of my 250 words of inspiration! #SupportIndieAuthors
I was thinking about what inspires me today. It's sort of been floating in the background all day, a buzz that wouldn't leave me alone. What encounters do I have in my life that help me connect to my imaginary friends. There are so many distractions in this modern world that conspire to keep you … Continue reading Day three of my 250 words of inspiration! #SupportIndieAuthors
Day two of 250 encouraging words for you! #ASMSG #IARTG #SupportIndieAuthors
So starts my second consecutive day of writing 1000 words a day. There I was, curled up and snuggled deep within my blankets, my beautiful wife at my side, snoring away. My cat jumped onto my chest, and started purring for pets. I felt surrounded and loved. And with that love came complacency. I have … Continue reading Day two of 250 encouraging words for you! #ASMSG #IARTG #SupportIndieAuthors
I hope I can inspire you! #AmWriting #AmEditing #SupportIndieAuthors! #ASMSG #IARTG
So I took a bit of a break from writing recently. Only read one short book, finished a review for another, but I haven't posted it yet. I just decided I needed a break. I went from almost no writing ever to about 1000 words a day in two short years. This is spread over … Continue reading I hope I can inspire you! #AmWriting #AmEditing #SupportIndieAuthors! #ASMSG #IARTG
Going much better than I anticipated! #SupportIndieAuthors
I've been going over Little Black Stormcloud week by week, and cleaning it up a bit more day by day. I'm happy I am, as I keep finding little mistakes. That is one of the joys of being an independent author, being able to go back and change something that's wrong. It's interesting the little … Continue reading Going much better than I anticipated! #SupportIndieAuthors
