Grumpy mornings

Blargh. Blargh. Blargh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm awake, it's early, I hate it. I hate the light, the sun, the morning, the morning people, being awake. But I'm up. So I'm going to write. Screw everything, I am grumpy. Grrr. You can't see it but I'm snarling, growling,...

Stay in your own lane

Writing isn't a race, it just isn't, but most people think it is and are going to treat it like one. Fine. But if that's what you're going to treat it like, remember, we all have our own lanes. Stay in yours. It's a marathon, not a sprint. It's not about coming first,...

Building Yourself

Brick by brick word by wordy word, that's how you do it. Do what? Do you! Not like that you dirty dirty ink monkey. Do your career. Make it, make words, make stories! That's how writing is done, by the very act of itself, and the repetition of it. It's how stories are...

What do you love?

It's a good question, isn't it? I mean in our fast paced world, let's face it, there are lots of questions. But are you asking yourselves the right ones? What do you love? And more importantly, are you doing it? For most people, the first one is harder than it should...

Be your own fan

Every author has fans, but before them all, you have to be a fan of your own work. You have to like it, love it. If you don't, what's the point? It's a cliche, yes, sure, but cliches become cliches because more often than not, they're right. You have to write what...

Kill the things we love

Followers of this blargh, who may or may not be real people...because...I could be totally insane and this is all an illusion...might remember be blarghing about overthinking. Yes, that thing. It's a curse. Why? Because, each person kills the thing they love. Or well,...

Keep calm and write on!

It's another week my loyal, ever so small group of blarghers! So...what's up? You can answer that one in the comments if you want, use it as an excuse to write something for the day, or to get back into writing. So today on the docket is this thing called patience....

A little bit of trust

Sadly, or not so sadly, depending on how you view things, writing is not an overnight success no matter what the end goal. Whether you want a published career, or just to finish your manuscript. But it will come. It's an inevitability if you make it one. It will take...

Time Passes

Harlow harlow fellow blarghers! Too long have I been away from you. Sort of. Time time time ugh. It always passes right? So what do you do about it? Well you use it, right? No matter what you do, how you do it, time passes. Seconds to minutes, minutes to hours unto...

Why?

Like I've been saying blarghers, one word can do a lot. One, singular word. That's all it takes to create an entire novel. To run away with one word and an idea. So here's another single word for you. Why? Why do you write, make art, do whatever it is you do? Good...
