Participating In NaNoWriMo 2009
This year I am going to write in the NaNoWriMo contest again. I know there are people who love and hate this writing contest, but I think it’s kind of interesting. Some kind of accountability is always a good thing. Here’s to a successful NaNoWriMo. My profile: http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/214284

Tuesday, April 7, 2009
Today I wanted to share what I think are important parts of a writers website. Whether its a blog or a static site, I fell like these pages will give you the biggest return. 1. About Me One of the first things I look for when I visit a new site is an About Me page, [...]

Today starts a 31 day writing challenge from the ProBlogger Darren Rowse. I did this a few years ago, and one of the post, Writing Catchy Blog Titles, is my all time number two for traffic coming into my blog. To learn more or to get started, visit this link. Today’s challenge is to crate an [...]

Monday, January 19, 2009
As all of you know, there are a large number of challenges when it comes to writing a book. There are so many I’m not even going to list them. A month or so ago, my friend Jason Alba challenged us to write our book this year. Doesn’t matter the subject, only to get started writing. [...]

Sunday, January 11, 2009
Earlier in the week I attended the first meeting of what will become a local writers group. The group meets close tony house so that makes it real easy to attend. Everyone shared the reason they were there, and I was surprised at the varied responses. Most were what I would call typical, and one was [...]

Today I put out a message on Twitter asking what people thought I should focus on with this new blog. The majority of comments suggested I have a focus and stay with it. Having a focus will allow visitors to know what to expect. And I couldn’t agree more. My original intent with this blog was [...]

Friday, January 9, 2009
My focus for a long time has been writing fiction. I’ve never really thought about writing a non-fiction piece. But several months ago I was brain storming with a friend on a story I’ve wanted to tell for 20 years. Yeah I know, we all have a story that takes us 20 years to tell. [...]

Wednesday, January 7, 2009
This is a poem I write a few years ago for a writing competition. I didn’t place, but it was a fun exercise. When I was in high school, I wrote a lot of poetry, mostly for my wife. Let me know what you think: I’m always amazed at this time of year Nature, slowing down, sleeping Color [...]

Tuesday, January 6, 2009
The more I journey around the Internet, getting to know other writers, and reading posts on social network services like Twitter, the more I see links for sales landing pages. These are sites that usually have just one page calling you into action to buy a product or service. I’m amazed at the number of [...]

Monday, January 5, 2009
Every time I read the statement “the market is flooded with that genre of writing” I just want to throw up. I personally think people who make statements like that are trying to protect some kind of market share they feel is only theirs. I firmly believe it’s the reason a lot of good, or [...]
