The publishing world may seem bleak. Literary agents and editors have been quitting. Less agent engagement in pitch contests. Barnes and Noble doesn't want to stock new and some already established writers. Lots of barriers are still in place for diverse writers. The list goes on.

Reminder to keep going
Here is a reminder that your words will inspire someone one day. You don’t have to reach thousands or millions of people to make your mark on the world.

Writers will never run out of stories to tell
After every concert I go to, I notice more how artists are all different—unique—even if they play the same songs. For example, no one ever sings "Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay" the same way. They all put their own twists and spins on it. If you don't believe me, try it. Click on … Continue reading Writers will never run out of stories to tell

Updating my most inspirational books!
It has been a while, but I finally updated the list of books that have a lasting effect on me. I can't believe how many powerful books I have come across since I last updated it. By now, I did book reviews for some of those books, including Turtles All the Way Down, The Hate … Continue reading Updating my most inspirational books!
Inspiration to busy creators
Sometimes the world may be against you. Everything may seem to fall apart as if you can’t get anything done. But even writing down three words is progress toward a goal. Three more strokes of a painting. Three more pages of a book. A little bit a day can go a long way.
