This last week has been full of challenges in my day job. But the constant stress of my day job was compounded this week by a close friend’s struggle with the loss of a member of his extended family. That event caused a lot of added stress to his life, and made me thankful IContinue reading “Goals, Challenges, and Stress”

Writing my Way Through Stressful Days
It’s great to see people are reading my time travel book Resonance on Kindle Unlimited. Every day more pages are read. That book has performed better than all the others I’ve written. For September, I’m working on outlining a sequel to it, to explore the characters a little more. Here I am at another endContinue reading “Writing my Way Through Stressful Days”
Not Waiting for the Next Good Thing
I’ve really enjoyed the last year where I have decided to stop waiting for the next good thing. I used to tell myself things would be better when I was older, or when I got a better position, or as my kids got older. But this last year has helped me take stock in theContinue reading “Not Waiting for the Next Good Thing”
I’m the Most Productive When I’m Busy, Sometimes
This week has also been a busy one. I find that when I get really busy with my day job, it might be a little tougher to get started on my writing. But sometimes, writing is the best way for me to start and end a day. This week, I have written over 4,000 wordsContinue reading “I’m the Most Productive When I’m Busy, Sometimes”
I’m Still Enjoying the Escape
I’ve come to the end of yet another busy, stress-filled week at my day job. I enjoy the work, but I also really like to write. In fact, my writing in the morning, at lunchtime, and in the evenings helps me stay rounded. When the stress gets too high, I can pull myself away atContinue reading “I’m Still Enjoying the Escape”
My Writing This Week
Here I am at the end of another busy week. It has been a great week for my writing. I’ve had a few days where I was able to write over four thousand words on my work in progress. It’s now nearing one hundred twenty thousand words. I plan to have that one ready forContinue reading “My Writing This Week”
Finding Time Versus Making Time
Writing is something I really enjoy. As I have stated in previous posts, I enjoy the release from my stressful day job. I also enjoy reading. It’s nice to be able to slip away from my stressful life even if just for a moment. I used to say I wasn’t writing or reading as muchContinue reading “Finding Time Versus Making Time”
How Many People are Better for Knowing You?
As I have been working on my latest work in progress, a fantasy story with several key characters, I’ve found myself thinking a lot about their relationships. My protagonists are from different sides of the same problem. As each of them reacts and interacts with the others it brings a depth to the story. Granted,Continue reading “How Many People are Better for Knowing You?”
The End of A Busy Yet Productive Week
This week my time travel book, Resonance, became available on Amazon. I tried something different with it and set it up as a preorder. That seems to have helped me get a few more sales. I’ve also got the paperback version available. Last week I wrote about stress, and that was good, it helped meContinue reading “The End of A Busy Yet Productive Week”
How do I Deal With Stress?
This week has been a rough one. I’m sure everyone has rough weeks, and what I think is rough, may not be as bad as challenges others face. During this week, my stresses have been job-related expectations that are almost unrealistic. My stress level and those of my coworkers was high as we worked toContinue reading “How do I Deal With Stress?”
