Your relationship with the blank page
So, I stumbled across this slideshow by Mark Sherbin a few weeks ago and it struck me as fucking fantastical. Particularly for YOU. It’s called “The Marketer’s Guide to Writing A Book,” but it applies to every writer. My unabashed goal is to help writers write. Whether that means pushing through fear or shattering bullshit […]
Our only task as writers is to tell the truth
You know that thing you can’t stop thinking about? The idea or memory that wakes you up breathless and sweaty? THAT’S what you write about. Because the shit that gets your blood pumping also keeps you motivated – fuck, it burns you up – when the writing gets difficult. At no time is this more […]

Redefining Writing Success: Learning to Fly in Today’s Congested Writing World
A guest post by Scott D. Southard I was an innocent dreamer when I arrived in Los Angeles. I had big plans and it all felt like the beginning of a movie to me. I was about to start studying in one of the best writing program in the country (University of Southern California. Go […]
Motivation Monday, talk radio and the song to end all songs (for writers)
Any idea how badly I wanted to call this one Motherf*cking Motivation Monday? Now you know. So I’ve been covered in black paint and glitter most of the weekend. Not that way. (Pervert. I love that about you.) It’s Halloween prep time – a month ahead. Because Halloween is not just a holiday here. It’s […]
Our Dangerous Fixation With Genres
A guest post by Scott D. Southard The writing world is full of factions. Each of these factions, have their own heroes (or leaders), their own book clubs, their own book dealers, their own sites, their own rules, their own readers, etc. Sometimes I like to imagine them as armies, each with their own distinct […]
