What are you lying to yourself about?
I can’t remember the last time I vacuumed. No, I don’t have a housekeeper. What I have is a dirty house. And an empty refrigerator. And a towering pile of laundry. Because I’ve put everything I have into building this business for more than a year. In December, I drew a line: I said I […]
Why are writers such lazy bums?
by Guy Bergstrom I don’t really think writers are lazy bums. I just want us all to talk about the elephant in the living room. Why does writing TAKE SO LONG? The average person types 50 words per minute. And that’s slow. I type about 80 or 90. Faster if I have coffee. Quicker if […]
Ten years later, it’s the same game for this celiac
Ten years ago, it was okay when no one knew about celiac disease. The medical community labeled it rare. The general populace had never heard of it. People didn’t eat gluten-free. Shit, people didn’t even know what gluten was. I was diagnosed in 2003, after 11 years with mysterious symptoms ranging from radical weight-loss to […]
Writers, we are doing it BACKWARDS
A guest post by Guy Bergstrom Oh, it kills me to say this: we are doing it backwards. Maybe you’re the exception to the rule. Perhaps you’re that rare writer who figured this out 10 years ago. But I doubt it. Most of the writers I know – whether they’re novelists or journalists, speechwriters or […]
Building suspense the WRONG way
Then she said, “But I don’t want to tell the reader the guy’s an ex-con. I want her to figure it out.” “Why?” I said. “Because I want to build suspense.” “But why do you want to hold back that specific piece of information? How does doing that move your story forward? How will the […]
How We Kill The Internal Editor
Give me a month and I’ll give you a writer who knows her worth, writes shit she loves and takes time to consistently improve her craft. It’s called Write Raw and I just dropped the price – as well as the number of clients I work with each month. And soon, it’ll be gone forever. […]
7 Things Every Writer Wants for Christmas
Writers are a persnickety bunch. Easy to annoy. Quietly correcting your grammar during every conversation. Unable to read something as trivial as a Facebook status without mentioning your shitty spelling. We know we do this. We can’t help it. But we’re great to have around for an epic Scrabble match, or to prep for your […]
Fear has killed more writers than anything else. Don’t be one of them.
In January, I asked myself some hard questions about life and business – and where I wanted both to go this year. I made a short list and a rough outline of what this place was going to look like in 12 months. (I didn’t plan on orange. It just happened.) By March, I was […]
