When you don’t consistently update your blog, it’s really freaking hard not to want to start with, “So it’s been a while!”, and then launch into all the reasons you’ve shirked your online obligations. But I won’t start that way! And I haven’t been shirking. A quick check of my Twitter account will show … More Mellowdrama
I read a really interesting article by author Mark McGuinness, in which he lays out a pretty straightforward approach to internet marketing. It’s not the easiest thing to follow through with, but if you take the time there’s really no reason you can’t do everything on the list. Most of it is just time consuming, … More Guerrilla Marketing

The biggest news since February, is that the book has been published. Finally! “The Sovereign” is now officially a thing you … More keeping up with my joneses
154 days. That’s how long it’s been since I last posted. Disgraceful, really, but when I fill you in, perhaps you’ll forgive my tardiness. You see, last time I posted, I announced that I’d been hired at a television station! Exciting news, to be sure. But that Entailed a lot of extra work. Until that … More It’s About Damn Time

There, I said it. I don’t regret it. This isn’t to say I don’t like people, simply that I do my … More 7 Habits of Highly Effective Introverts
So it’s time to kick it into high gear. The steam has been building over the last few months, and it’s finally coming to a head. Is that the right term for steam? Well it’s getting pretty intense, anyways. I’m finding heaps of new motivation and energy where work is concerned, and getting things done … More Overdrive
Jon Katz over at Bedlam Farm posted an interesting article about the new world of writing. It seems like everyone these days, including myself, is struggling with the idea of what the writing world is becoming. As writers—i.e., people who subsist on attracting the attention of others—changing media formats can be a frightening prospect. We live and … More The New Writer
So I guess I’m someone who’s a bit old fashioned when it comes to writing a book. I don’t have a television, and I don’t really keep up to date with current events, which is something I’m working on. It has always seemed to me that to get a book published, you simply write the … More Your Platform
