Monday Motivation

I'm late as usual. Always working, and always behind. I don't think I'll ever catch up.

I'm sure by now you've noticed that I've updated the blog. I'm also raising the stakes on my mailing list. Instead of only one book when you sign up, I'm now giving away three full length novels to get you started. An introductory library if you will.

It's right over there, on the right, you know you want to click on the link, go ahead, I'll still be here when you get back.

You know it's really tough at times staying motivated. Being a writer is one of those jobs that's better performed alone. Sure, once the writing part is done there's a whole slew of other people who get involved in getting the story out. But in the beginning it's just the writer and the blank page, and one word after the next as we string together sentences we hope will enlighten, inspire, and maybe send a chill down the reader's spine.


Everyone draws inspiration from something, for me it's the readers response to my work, their reviews, good or bad, are what drive me to continue to create. To push the bar just a little higher with each completed project.

What inspires you in your work? What is it beside fame and fortune that compels you to climb out of bed each morning and do your thing?


Monday Motivational

I've been rather busy the last few weeks working to complete book three of the Dreadland Chronicles, Legion of the Damned. I've let other things fall by the wayside, my apologies. I work a full time job on top of writing and many times I find myself too drained to do much more than work on my current project.

I know it's not the best way to attract fans, but I've little choice right now. I've drastically reduced my time on Facebook and Twitter, preferring to focus on the work at hand, as well as several other projects that are slowly finding their way down the pike. I've considered just letting this blog go, but I like coming here to share my progress with those of you who are interested.

I also like sharing the little things I find on the internet that help inspire me to keep going in the face of seemingly impossible odds. Today I bring you one of my favorite writers, Stephen King. I've followed his career since the beginning. Yes, I'm, old.

 I hope you enjoy what he has to say.
