As I get older, I’ve experienced multiple instances of good turning bad, and bad turning good. It’s encouraged me to tone down the judgment and reactive negativity. On a related note, I’ve come to believe that true abundance isn’t defined by time or material, but from possibility itself. Who knows what opportunities we’ll be able…

I’ve known writers who guard their ideas as if they were extremely limited slices of a pie, bringing them up in the vaguest terms and gatekeeping them from prying eyes. If that works for them, then I can’t fault it. But for me, it’s the opposite–the idea isn’t all that important. It’s the ENERGY within…

When I first started writing, I struggled to balance an influx of ideas with my day-to-day life. I started taking notes while I was doing stuff, but then I realized I was taking endless reams of notes, and I might as well be full-on writing. What I do now is I assign myself a daily…

I view myself more as a sculptor or whittler than an inventor. I see a couple scenes and climactic moments, produce a sloppy block of clunky material (my draft), then whittle and chip and shave at its edges, until I clarify the energy from my rough-hewn vision, to the point where I feel it’s communicated…

Typically, my inspiration doesn’t work in a linear fashion–I’m gifted with an exciting scene or possibility, then I write my way towards it. Along the way, my characters develop their voices and reveal the philosophies that form their worldview. As I draft and edit, draft and edit (and once I’m finished drafting, edit edit edit…
