I am in the middle of reading this book, I have quite a few books on how to write but this one I’m loving. It seems weird to be reading it, he start by saying that we are communicating through time. He is a literary genius and when reading this book it actually does feel like he…
I would love to use a tool to monitor the time I waste looking through social networking websites, Facebook or twitter. I can sit at my machine and seem to do nothing but refresh the page and look at crap….. then I wonder why I get nothing done. I have tried quitting several times but…
I keep reading in my writing books and magazines that I shout make an effort to write everyday. I have setup a desk downstairs so that i can write without bothering the wife when she wants to sleep. I still have not done any there yet. I really need to get my ass in gear…
