Accountability Having an “accountabilibuddy” (as I’ve heard it called before) right now would probably be a very good idea for me. Normally, willpower is a strong point of mine but, I keep putting off doing what I know I should be doing. I’ve never felt that I might need an accountability partner to help me …
Burnout, Procrastination, and Research To be completely honest, I have been extremely burned out lately. Haven’t been getting much of anything done. What I have been doing is reading. Almost constantly. Something like five or six books a week or so. I know it’s me procrastinating about things that I really should be working …
Discipline I have had some luck recently with using discipline to write. Not only writing when I feel like it but setting a timer on my phone and writing until it goes off. Or continuing on if I’m on a roll. But at least writing for that amount of time. Even if I have to …

The Origins of Nicole Case As I mentioned in the last post, I use a pen name for writing and the reason for this is sheer laziness on my part. Also mentioned before is that I was supposed to write what I know. So I pulled from my own history and since I used my …
Based on a True Story? A little insider info on my first, and currently only, published book. This story is based on a childhood memory of mine. I’ve had this memory for so long that I’m not even sure if it’s a real memory or something I dreamed about. While earning my BA in …
The Writing Bug: some have it and some don’t I definitely would have fallen into the “some don’t” category until recently. I think I can honestly say that I have never wanted to be an author. Things change, though, and while it is still not something that I have an absolute drive to do, I …
