    Prologue - Framing the Question

    I’ve been a writer for the better part of my 43 years on this planet. Writing has been my dream for as long as I can remember and I have chased it down almost every avenue imaginable. But lately, I haven’t felt terrific about my writing life. Something seems…well…off, and that has me wondering if I’ve just moved onto a phase of my life where I simply don’t want to be a writer anymore. Every time I look at my work on the page or screen, every time I look in the mirror, I feel like I’ve become ...

    The Promises and Realities of Online Writing Platforms

    How do you get your voice out there as a writer? Not so long ago this question had a single simple answer. You needed to be published. Sounds easy, right? But it wasn’t. Submission guidelines, contest deadlines, and an endless mountain of rejection letters, if you were lucky enough to receive them, awaited you on your writing journey. Now it’s simpler. Online writing platforms abound. Each one offers writers another way to get their work out into the world and in front of readers. Each one pr...

There are a couple of announcements to go over so, rather than sneak them into a regular episode, we did a standalone to just go ahead and knock them out. Enjoy!

    What is the Cure for the Common Creative Hangover?

    What do you do after you finish a big project? Maybe you celebrate for a moment. Or maybe you check it off on one giant to-do list. The standing advice is to jump right into your next project. Get going on the next thing so you can keep producing your best work consistently. Sounds simple. Write a script or a novel or whatever, rinse, and repeat as often as necessary for fame and fortune. Nice and easy…so why is it so hard to jump into that next project? This week on Confessions of a Working ...

    Writers Lift, Toxic Reciprocity, and Do We Even Have Writing Communities Anymore?

    Everyone loves their writing community! At least that’s what they say online…endlesssly. Hop onto social media for even a moment and you will be bombarded with praise for writing communities. Twitter is a seemingly endless barrage of writers lifts and questions to the community at large. Platforms like Medium are at the same time praised for being beautiful connected communities of wordsmiths and also lambasted for being little more than content mills and havens of toxic reciprocity. But who’...

    Natural Talent, Alphabet Soup, and Can Anyone Really Be a Writer?

    Just what does it take to be a writer? Is it something you’re born with? An incredible talent passed down through the genes or gifted from the divine? Or is it something you can learn? And if you can learn it, then are there better places to learn and better qualifications you can attain to become an even better writer? This week on Confessions of a Working Writer we’re looking at the beliefs around natural talent, qualifications, and asking ourselves the question…can anyone really be a write...
