You have a choice. I ask you to believe in yourself, your abilities, and your dreams. You can worry about them, sure. It happens. It's natural. And it's not fun, is it? Or, you can indulge your dreams. I mean why not? Now I'm no one famous, special, or whatever. But...

Today I'm going to make you believe, not in me, not in anything crazy, but something endlessly important—you! This lesson is coming from an amazing, and inspirational man I was fortunate enough to meet at a writing seminar. That man is James Artimus Owen . He's the...

Hey-O oh mighty blarghers and readers of my wordiness. What's up? Oh this random out of the blue post? Yeah, about that. Well you know how much I love to motivate, and help new authors too. Well that's what this is. Today is a freebie for a new debut author in the...

Worry is something that can eat you. In fact, it does at you—your sanity and calm. It leaves holes in you that left unchecked, grow larger. And it is very easy to just say don't worry. Easier said than done. But you what? Worrying is in fact part of your imagination....

Sounds sort of self explanatory, doesn't it. Well that's because it is. One of the things about being an artist—in whatever medium—is that you continue to make the work. Because of that, your career will grow in time as you continue to produce. You just have to make...

Why yes I am. Thank you invisible non existers. Why am I still doing it? Sheesh. I wish I knew. I'd like to say something great like I have amazing dedication, or perseverance. In truth, it's simpler than that. I can't stop. That's not meant to sound cool. I just...

Yes, I'm four days late. Woohoo. Thank you for noticing you eagle eyed reader you. No...I am not toning down my snark just because it's a New Year. So ahem. What's up today? Well, a little reflection I guess for you and I. Doesn't matter if you're an author, painter,...

Yo-ho blarghers it's another day. So what happens when life, when your art and things feel slow. When you're worried and more? Let go? Easier said than done, right? Well what I'm about to say comes from experience. Sometimes letting go isn't exactly about sitting back...

Heyo blarghers, been a while. You've likely forgotten who I am. That's cool. I do too some of the times. So I'm back, have been very busy. Getting book one into print after all this time. It was a good decision as sales are amazing. Oh, I happened to win best book of...

I have been away for a short while, blarghers, but I'm back. Not in black, but gray. Because...I was too lazy to dig up a black shirt to make this comeback awesomesauce. Today, I have words on writing. Writing can be hard. Deal with it. That's all you have to do. Deal...

Life, it's not fair, and it's not easy. It's hard, it's not often considerate, and it's challenging, especially for some artists. After all, it's not a career path with any guarantees—in success, or income. But then, not all of us choose the path. It just happens. I...

You are a writer, deep down, you already have and know your stories. You just need to trust yourself to write them. Give yourself permission to be awesome, to run wild, and give voice to the ideas that spring up. Stop questioning, doubting and overthinking things....

Arrogance? Before afternoon. Egads! How do I do it? Well, it's not my fault, not entirely anyways. So whose fault is it? Well, that blame goes to my wonderfully amazing friends. That's right. That's how I know I'm going to make it and succeed one day as an author, and...
