    The Climb Back

    I’ve given up. No, not on writing, or this blog, or on the attempts at making writing a career. What I am giving up on is my excuses. All those reasons I give as to why I am not making progress, they weren’t the problem. I have been the problem. Life happens; life sucks. Each…

    Two Pet Peeves

    My reading has fallen off. The last few weeks I’ve struggled to pick up the books I’ve been reading. In large part, like Law of Success by Napoleon Hill, it isn’t that the book is bad or uninteresting, it’s that it’s a slog to get through. It’s taking considerable effort. Now, in this case, it’s…

  • And Then There Were Two…

  • To Rebuild a Habit

    A number of my last posts have been dedicated to the issues I’ve had in writing every day. It’s been tough, absolutely. Yes. Indeed. Despite the trials in it, the capability is there. I know it is. The near 300,000 words I wrote last year with a good consistent running shows that I can do…
