When I was writing my first draft of my first book, I tried to bang out a chapter every time I sat down. Progress was very linear. After experiencing the huge amount of editing and rewriting involved in fixing […]

#WritersCoffeeClub Do you try to have a regular writing goal? Why or why not?
Yup, it's now a goal to write any new novel WIP I attempt in a maximum of two months of writing, with the aim of getting as far below 120K as i possibly can with each first draft.

I’m writing a non-fiction book on politics as a spiritual practice and aim to write a chapter every two weeks. I’m about three quarters of the way through the project and on track, although I’ve dedicated […]

#WritersCoffeeClub Do you try to have a regular writing goal? Why or why not?

I try to write words on the page every day, but it doesn't always happen.

These days I'm kinder to myself about that - thinking about the book is also writing and I do that constantly

#WritersCoffeeClub 9/17. Do you try to have a regular writing goal? Why or why not?

Yes - I've committed to publishing at least 1,000 words of new translation of and commentary on German folk tales on my Patreon every week, and I am proud to say that I have managed to do so since April 2019 […]

#WritersCoffeeClub 17/9: Do you try to have a regular writing goal? Why or why not?
In a broad sense, yes. In my freelance career, everything I did came with a deadline. As a self-published writer, I’ve set my own deadlines and—so far—met them. But I…

#WritersCoffeeClub 17th Sep ~ Do you try to have a regular writing goal? Why or why not?

Other than the goal of finishing whatever I'm working on, I don't have any other goals in mind. While editing... well, that's another matter entirely.

#writersCoffeeClub 16. Is there a topic you could really use an expert’s help with? What is it?

Women. And, don't suggest a woman because they keep it secret. Then, they have fun giving us men wrong answers for fun.

#WritersCoffeeClub Sept. 16: Is there a topic you could really use an expert’s help with? What is it?

Right now I'm researching #holocaust survivors. Their experience is as close to "it was the end of the world" as most of us are likely to see.

#WritersCoffeeClub Sept. 16: Is there a topic you could really use an expert’s help with? What is it?

I'm writing a book on politics as a spiritual practice. I will definitely be running a draft of this by people who are activists, historians, and political scientists. I want to make sure what […]

#WritersCoffeeClub Sept. 16: Is there a topic you could really use an expert’s help with? What is it?

I often need medical advice, but have several physicians and researchers who help me there.

Where I often need help is lived experience of women, people of color, and people with disabilities […]

#WritersCoffeeClub 9/15: What expertise are you happy to offer to your fellow writers for their research?

I don't know. Stuff. Computers. Mental Health. Church/faith.religion. Why the sea is boiling hot and whether pigs have wings (Yes, Alice too).

I can operate a wind tunnel. Yes a big one. We hid a woman's brand new mini in it one Christmas Eve.
I can use a plate camera. The one where you stick your head under a cloak to frame and […]

#WritersCoffeeClub 16/9: Is there a topic you could really use an expert’s help with? What is it?
Possibly in a month or two, if anyone’s well-versed in the internal workings of the Church of England. They’d need to be up to date; I have a good idea how…
