The year of the short story
2022. I’m calling it. It’s my year of the short story. I’m not really sure what that means but I hope it involves reading more of them, learning more about how to craft them and finally, getting more published. There is a theory that in order to hold yourself accountable to a goal, you need […]

#amwriting
In the early part of this century, I was lucky enough to work in the publishing industry. After a year of soul searching, traveling around Europe, I decided I wanted to shift out of the technology industry and into books.

In addition to developing my writing offline, I’ve also started to really commit to meditation on a daily basis. I’ve been practicing yoga for years and always enjoyed the final resting pose where you take the time to sit and breathe. I found it brought this amazing sense of clarity, a cleaning of the mind, […]

Regular writing
I’ve started going to a writers’ group twice a week to get my creative juices flowing. It’s been great for adding deadlines to my words and making me focus. I don’t attend every meeting and have been a bit slack on occasion but, just knowing that there is a regular space I can go is […]
