Happy New Years, Everyone. I wanted to start the new year out talking about my own personal goals for 2010. I have some ambitious plans for the coming year that I want to share with you. I also have a great question regarding when to start connecting to people via social media. It’s a little shorter episode than the past few, but I wanted to ease into the new year.

It has taken a while to germinate, but I’m very happy with episode one (numbered episode 0). Have a listen and let me know what you think. If you like it, leave a comment and maybe feedback on iTunes. If you don’t, please […]

Whomever said “Without Risk, there can be no reward” was on to something. It is a saying that applies in spades to we writers. We can write as much as we want, but until we actually let someone see it, we have no idea if it is good, bad or indifferent. Indeed, I would argue that without making it available for critique we writers will never really grow in our craft. That sort of flies in the face of the “Practice makes perfect” mantra, but without feedback, we may get stuck writing the same stuff over and over. All that can do is solidify any mistakes we are already making. Granted, as we continue to write we probably start to […]
