This Halloween, I'll be going as a writer.
Which is to say, I'll be staying indoors most of the day, hoping to avoid human interaction and staring at my screen for long intervals.

Walter Koenig - Chekov from Star Trek - is now amongst the stars.
Fans know that his character did not stay an Ensign forever. He rose through the ranks and eventually became an Admiral.
I've been a developmental editor for many years. I have worked with dozens of talented authors on some truly excellent works.

The best part about writing and editing during election season is that it gives you plenty of time to focus on your writing and editing rather than scrolling on social media.
Why?
Because it's the time of year when wasting time on social media stops being a welcome distraction.
It's difficult to believe I've been in book publishing for over 20 years, and a freelance editor for over 15.

Before there were podcasts, there was talk radio. In fact, the format is still going strong.
People like Noah Adams are part of the reason why.

If all these people who are so desperate to 'help me' sell copies of my books would actually buy one themselves, I might have the figures they claim they can get their clients.
C'mon, marketing bots, put your money where your mouth is.
Lead by example.
Writers, what do you do on days when you don't want to write?
Do you simply do something else?
Or so you sit down and get something done, regardless of whether or not you are feeling up to it?
Sometimes you want to add a little mystery for your readers, but are you being mysterious or just frustratingly vague? Let's explore the issue so your writing is the best it can be.

Perhaps the most improbable success story in literature of the last few years.
Have you read the Dungeon Crawler Carl books, and if so, what did you think?

It's easy to forget that great writing doesn't just spring out of the ether. Even those with genuine natural talent have to put in a lot of time and effort to tap into that talent.
Writing is HARD. Your first efforts may not be good. And that's okay.

I know an avid Alfred Hitchcock fan. He will not like this news.
