So Where’s Ubiquitous?
or
How to Maintain the Balance of Power in a Collaboration!

The creative life demands sacrifices...

Creativity is better than drugs.

Time management sounds simple, but there is an art to it. The creation of my current book, involves a color-coded writing schedule that spans Thanksgiving to Leprechaun Day…and all the holidays in between...

There are only 24 hours in a day – even for writers!

So, it’s been a week. You know the kind – you charge from one urgent task to another, hit every damn stoplight, and everything else goes wrong too. To top it off, I was one of three people in charge of a big event for our writers cooperative – a three-day display and sales opportunity at a home show that typically draws about 10,000 people...

One of the less attractive parts of being a writer is that you need to actually get your books into the hands of readers, who will in turn put money into your hands. You know, that whole trying to make a living thing that gets us all. The theory is sound. The execution for me as a writer is…well…faulty.

So, I quit my day job, wanting to A) Write full time, and B) sleep in.

Welcome to my morning. 

5:29 a.m...

At a gathering of writers a couple of weeks ago, a new author was expounding on some writing “expert” who recommended not worrying about any but the most superficial of edits.  His advice, just write and pump it out to the public.

When I write, I remain utterly focused on the task at hand.  For those of you who struggle with accomplishing important tasks, a peek into how I do it may help.
