    Interesting tool for selecting genres to write in

    PUBLISHING 
    I've bought one of their reports before. If you're new to the industry, sure it might give you an idea. There was good information for somebody less experienced...but, if you've been self-publishing, you're already studying the charts. Every writer I know keep a close eye on trends, where...

    Idea of a book

    IDEA 
    What does your character want? Why can't the have it? Who/what is stopping them? And how will they change to finally get what they want? Struggle, passion, intensity is a good place to start. Look up things like Hero's Journey, or GMC (Goal/Motivation/Conflict) etc...and go from there. I think...

    Copyright Infringement Including The Millionaire Fastlane

    PUBLISHING 
    Then you also have things like YouTube -- where somebody was stealing audio-books. I did take-down notices, but that meant they sent my private information (I write under pen names) to the person doing it. Lovely. They were taken down, but they'll probably go right back up like a lot of the...

    Beating/ Managing Anxiety

    HEALTH 
    Anxiety isn't something you climb over. You work through it. You need to figure out what the base of it is, as mentioned above. When I'm dealing with heavy anxiety, I either confront it head on and push through...or I give in to it and try to distract myself until it passes. There are no easy...

    The best decision you ever made ?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Narrowing my focus. I can't be all things to all people. Niche/Narrow -- and stop chasing trends.

    How do you deal with Haters?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I tell myself that half the people will love your stuff, half will hate it. It's an even playing field. It is what it is. I may not like what haters say, but I get to choose my reaction which is to simply ignore it. They aren't my audience, so I move on.

    Clearing your mind and gaining clarity - What do you do?

    MINDSET 
    When I drive, a lot of those drives are over an hour. Generally, I work from home. One of the things I do is turn off the radio or put on some non-lyrical music. I use the Spa Channel on Sirius for this or nothing at all. This works wonders. At home, on my computer, I'll use BrainFM...has done...

    What does your writing style say about you?

    Funny that you should mention this. I write full-time. On message boards or chat, I tend to be informal because I'm usually buried in edits and the sort during my work. I get lax when I'm on "me" time. You're right though, others reading my posts don't realize that I'm slacking for whatever...

    HOW NOT TO S*CK AT TIME MANAGEMENT/SCHEDULING IF YOU ARE AN AUTHOR?

    SOCIAL MEDIA 
    I sit in my chair at my desk and write. Period. I know I need X amount of words, and I dig in until I reach that many for the day. For me, it's consistency. It's my job, like everything else. I treat it that way. I've trained my family not to call me at certain times of the day. They know...

    Gymjunkie, I've recommended your covers to people in the past. Small world...just noticed your signature line. You've got a great look for the gritty/thriller vibe, etc.

    MJ's Recommended Bookshelf

    HOT! 
    One of the things I liked early on was a business book summary service. I have no clue what's still around, but I found an ad for it in a magazine on a flight years ago. Loved that thing. Eight pages of summarized notes on business books sent to me on an ongoing schedule. I went through a ton...
