I've enjoyed writing this blog and the ample audience of people it gives me to inspire in their writing, to even strategize with about keeping their writing going and learning from my experience and mistakes. Unfortunately, there are a lot of books about the writing life out there (I know, as a fan of the genre, I'm pretty sure I've read them all) so it took four years for mine to gain traction. But I'm thrilled to report that The Geek's Guide to the Writing Life: An Instructional Guide and Memoir for the Rest of Us has found its forever home with Bloomsbury a publisher with great vision and foresight, especially in terms of writers and writing. I know what I plan to elaborate on in this guide cum memoir about carving a successful writing life out of the twenty-first century landscape. I really have read most of the writing life books out there, for better (usually) and for worse, and as I read most of them, I'm often thinking, "What can I tell readers--other writers--about writing that no one else can?"
