Enjoy today’s video of a solo guitarist. It is wonderful to watch a gifted artist maximizing their creativity.
Notice a couple things. (1) He is left-handed. That is rare to see because most guitars are strung for a right-handed player. I know I’m showing ignorance here, but that was a delight to observe. (2) He uses so many difficult techniques that if you close your eyes they might be missed. That is the mark of a craftsman.
I spent a couple of college years trying to learn to play the classical guitar (inspired by Leo Kottke and others). Thus, when I see this level of genius, I’m glad I spared the world from my attempts.
Imagine the hours it took to get to this level of performance. Are you doing the same with your writing craft? Retuning your words, finding a rhythm, and making it seem effortless?

Leave a Comment5 Questions Your Proposal Must Answer: Question 1
Is Your Audience/Platform Big Enough? This platform question is one of the more aggravating and frustrating issues most writers face.

The assumption is that if the audience exists, the book will find …

Back before Captain Cook sailed the Seven Seas, I went to high school in Honolulu. (I know, someone’s gotta do it.) Today’s video was something I never knew about the state of Hawaii. Enjoy the trivia! (If you can’t see the video in your emailed newsletter, please click through to the site and view it there.) ShareTweet
My Pet Peeve Therapy Session
I have a lot of pet peeves. So many that this is the second time I’ve written about them. The first was three and a half years ago, when I vented about a host of things. Click here. I am not finished. Other peeves involve people who don’t wait for their turn. Like those who drive on the shoulder of the road to bypass traffic or those who try to get on the plane before their group is called. Another would be towns that allow trees and bushes to grow over road signs without trimming them, so a stop sign …
Uplifting One Another
When I was a romance novelist, a few authors who weren’t published looked down on me. They didn’t think I belonged in rarified air with authors consistently writing larger books. Interesting fact: I never felt slighted by those known as “big” authors when I was writing category romance. They understood the difficulty and work in being published. At. All. One of the best sayings attributed to St. Teresa of Avila, is, “Comparisons are odious.” Since I have been found wanting at times, I try not to compare. When I’m on top by the world’s standards, I’m even less likely to …
