Writing Journal

Journal

I often write about things that are relatable to writing but don’t really fit any one of my primary categories. As a result, I use the Journal category to share those bits of information. Especially if it’s about a topic that can fit virtually anywhere.

Not to mention that sometimes I’ll just write about what’s on my mind regarding books, blogs, and freelancing.

For example, here are the most recent posts I’ve published in the Journal category:

  • 9 Common Writing Pitfalls That Are Holding You Back
    Writing is full of triumphs and pitfalls, and in most cases, you are the one holding yourself back. In fact, things like impostor syndrome keep a lot of talented authors from publishing their books. So, how do you go about avoiding those elements and becoming successful?
  • Officially Going to Read Between the Stars 2025 in October!
    I’ve filled out my application and was accepted to attend Read Between the Stars on October 4, 2025. This time, it’s held at the Stanley Marketplace in Aurora, Colorado. It’s a large venue surrounded by several shops. So, the foot traffic should be quite high.
  • Making a Game for In-Between the Books – Kind Of
    As a bit of a gamer, I felt it was only a logical step to create a game for in-between the books of Kingmaker and Fury. Of course, the series of books will probably be finished before the one game. Still, I thought it would be a fun addition to the Witcham Series.
  • An Evening with Sean Gregory on After Hours
    On Monday, May 19th, I’ll be joined by Sean Gregory on After Hours for a live interview. He is the author of The Growing Darkness, Book I of the God Killers Trilogy, and has several flash fiction works available on his website. Plus, Sean has several upcoming projects that look interesting.
  • What’s Next On the WriterSanctuary Roadmap?
    A roadmap can help you establish goals while keeping the motivation to build something great. It’s a constant reminder of what you want to do with your brand and the great things that can be done down the line. I built one of these for WriterSanctuary.
  • Going All-In for WriterSanctuary: Ideas of What Is Coming Soon
    Recently, I decided to go all-in with WriterSanctuary. This means putting a lot more time blocks throughout the week toward WriterSanctuary’s development. And I’ve spent a lot of time over the last couple of weeks pouring over the things that are coming soon.
  • An Evening with Gary Kidney on After Hours
    On April 14th, 2025, I will be joined by Gary Kidney for a live author interview on After Hours. He is the author of a spy thriller taking place in one of my favorite time periods, World War II. And from what I’ve read of the description, it’s more than likely getting added to my TBR pile.

Not every piece of content you create for a blog needs to focus intently on SEO. Sometimes, just sharing your journey with others is enough to inspire and motivate the audience. And sometimes, you gain followers or subscribers.
