Who cares about thinking outside the box?
It happens to me all of the time. I am writing and one of the people I show my first drafts to are reading and suggest that something isn’t clear, or could be different. While they sit there I start to rewrite a section that the reader had a concern with and the next thing I know, something completely different is flowing and I am typing like a word addict. Some say I get this odd look on my face, like I am on another planet, until I am finished.
10 Reasons to Treat Your Blog as Real Estate
1. Your Largest Investment Isn’t Just Your Home Anymore
When you consider the amount of time, effort, money and energy you put into your blog weekly if not daily, it’s time to look at this as an investment. If you’re working on your blog twenty or more hours a week, consider it a job. While your blog may not be paying you by the hour, the benefits long term could be substantial. In the future, websites and blogs that are established and ‘well built’ will likely see a steady income or nice resale value.
Stephen King’s Bones – II A two-part review of “Cell” and Stephen King’s “On Writing, a Memoir of the Craft”
Part II (See Part I)
I picked up “On Writing” and looked for inspiration. This was a re-read for me, when I first got the book, I kept thinking, “well this guy just doesn’t understand me as a writer (even though I wasn’t a writer yet, I was a wanna be). Turns out, he understood me too well and I didn’t like it at the time. Ah, the lessons we learn as we grow.

Hi everyone! Well, I’ve gone through the experience of transferring webhosting from one host to another. I piloted on one site before I did PlotDog Press, because I wanted it to go smoothly. Well the best laid plans … They tell you that the DNS Servers can take upt to 72 hours to resolve. I [...]
Reboot, Intervention 2.0 The muse can be a real pain in the butt. When I am writing in the wrong direction I get slapped around pretty well. I can’t write with flow, nothing is clear, and the story, well… if you spent some time in this section of the blog, you have to pretty much know it wasn’t going well.
