Forward Motion for Writers
I make a full-time living from writing. I know a lot of writers who would
like to do the same. So I've written over 100,000 words -- all of it available
for free in the linked articles to your left-- on how I do what I do.
Please understand that there is no One True Way -- every
writer who achieves publication does so via a different path. But we're
all climbing the same mountain, and it's alway useful, I think, to know
how others have gone up the thing, whether you intend to follow a similar
route or an entirely different one.
Use the menu on the left side of this page to find article or FAQ sheets
or workshops that you need right away. Or just browse. The articles
and
workshops detail the route I am taking, and though none of this is written
in stone, you might find the one thing that can help you through a current
sticking point, or that can answer a question you've had for a while.
You can also download my free e-book, Mugging the Muse: Writing
Fiction for Love AND Money, either as a PDF
file or as a ZIP
file.
I also recommend the following resources, which started out as part of
my site, but which have since outgrown it and become their own entities:
Above all, though, don't give up. Writing (or at least writing well)
is hard, but it's worth it. Your dreams are worth the fight.
