Kickstarter project is launched!

I have launched my Kickstarter project for "Tales of the Bodhisattva: the Khurran"!  I am raising funds to commission Evgeni Maloshenkov, who has already created my book cover, to create at least 10 black and white pictures for the interior.  Also, I would like to put some of the funds into online promotion.  Please check it out!

Creation vs. Perception

Sometimes I'm creating the world of Kaliya, and sometimes I'm just perceiving it.

My muse...

…of course, is my beautiful wife.  She has such an eye for beauty in nature, and she brought my attention to something that I became inspired to write about in my book.  I am one lucky man!

Write every day.

My writing process is certainly subject to periods of self-doubt and potentially paralyzing fear. So what? Keep on writing every day.

Progress...

The manuscript hit 27k words today. 
I have recently found a great, sustainable rhythm to my writing.  It really just involves writing something every day, whether it's three sentences or three pages.  This not only helps me avoid the slight depression and self-loathing that comes as a result of ignoring my book for days or more, it also keeps things fresh and I feel continually immersed in the universe that I'm writing about.
